Fiji is like a teabag. Whatever you do on land, will eventually seep down and end up in the ocean.
These were Dive Centre (Fiji) Pte Ltd operations manager Captain Johnathan Smith’s sentiments while speaking at the Organic Pathways for A Sustainable Fiji event recently.
Captain Smith said he had seen first-hand the devastating effects of agricultural practices on land on marine ecosystems.
“Farmers need to realise that Fiji is a pretty small landmass area so anything that you spray on land ends up in the oceans,” he said.
