MAROOT BEACH FRONT PROJECT
The Maroot Beach Front project was a community approach to construct sea walls to prevent the rapid erosion of the beach & minimize the destruction to the marine & fresh water ecosystem mostly due to the rise in the sea level as a result of climatic change. The community's fishing & gardening activities are affected & they fear that their beach & the Tubzu river are at a risk of being destroyed.Pollution caused by the use of diesel fuels on the marine life is also a major concern to these local people. The area is identified in the PNG Conservation Needs Assessment (CAN) areas. The CAN assessment was carried out in PNG by the Department of Environment & Conservation to identify the priority areas of high potenitial of biodiversity risk. The project was granted US$1139.24 planning grant and refining of the proposal is currently under progress.
