Bainimarama also added that “this is an ambitious project that came in at a government investment of more than $700,000 but the peace of mind that it will provide is priceless.”
“The newly-completed seawall is a great example of human engineering, but all too often, that alone isn’t enough. That’s why this project will be complemented with what we call a “nature-based solution” – the planting of mangroves that will provide a first line of defense from coastal erosion and sea level rise,” said the Prime Minister.
The new seawall stretches across 440 metres of shoreline.
