The Living Waters Wai BulaBula Program

Fiji

Nutrient loading has a negative impact on coral reefs and marine eco-systems so this program is aiming to eliminate this negative practice by promoting innovative and appropriate technologies instead. The program is building the capacity of communities to manage and reduce waste entering the marine environment through participatory awareness-raising workshops. Both the Coral Gardens and Living Waters programs work to empower local communities to reverse the decline of coral reefs and near-shore waters and to increase local benefits such as food income and reef-based tourism.
