  abstract = {{D}espite the importance of invertebrate resources for {P}acific coral reef islands, few studies have specifically addressed the effects of harvesting on invertebrate assemblages including targeted and non-targeted species. {T}he impacts of recreational harvesting on reef and seagrass invertebrate assemblages in {N}ew {C}aledonia ({S}outh {P}acific) are investigated by comparing communities in non-{MPA} and {MPA} areas. {S}ampling was done using a standard core method on seagrasses and by visual survey along belt transects on reefs. {A} total of 371 species were recorded, 174 on seagrasses and 254 on reefs, with 57 common species. {R}eef and seagrass invertebrate communities were very different in {MPA} and non-{MPA} areas. {O}n both habitats, {MPA}s were identified as undisturbed areas while non-{MPA}s were defined as moderately disturbed with a predominance of small-sized and opportunistic species. {F}ishing not only affects target species but also non-target species through secondary effects. {T}hese results highlight the necessity of a community based approach for the conservation of resources in tropical poorly known environments.},
