The Bluecoast team have just returned from Fiji where they undertook site investigations for the design and upgrade of the jetties on three outer islands: Koro, Makogai and Kadavu. These jetties facilitate the shipping services which bring essential goods and supplies to the people who live in these remote villages. The team undertook detailed environmental investigations, including bathymetric and topographic drone surveys, condition assessments of the existing infrastructure as well as stakeholder engagement to understand the vital role these sea gateways provide to the community. The work was undertaken with our partner ITS Pacific (Fiji) and Royal HaskoningDHV. The team will be back in early October to undertake similar investigations on another five islands.
