Reef revival: Fiji s corals bouncing back after ruinous cyclone

Last modified on Tue 9 Mar 2021 09.35 EST In the immediate aftermath of the strongest cyclone to ever make landfall in the southern hemisphere, reefs across the Namena reserve and Vatu-i-Ra conservation park off Fiji were reduced to rubble. Tropical Cyclone Winston struck Fiji on 20 February 2016, causing devastation on land and underwater. Winds of up to 280km/h claimed 44 lives, leaving more than 40,000 homes damaged or destroyed, and storm surges smashed reefs in their path. Winston caused US$1.4bn in damage, the most destructive cyclone ever in the Pacific. But four years on, to the delight of scientists, the coral reefs of the Fijian archipelago are vibrantly resurgent and once again teeming with fish and colour.

Fiji s kava industry counting the cost of Cyclone Yasa - Pacific Beat

Download 2.19 MB Cyclone Yasa destroyed at least half of the kava crop in one of Fiji s main growing regions according to a prominent grower and exporter. The country s second biggest island Vanua Levu bore the brunt of the category five storm when it struck a fortnight ago. That is where Praveen Narayan manages Green Gold Kava Fiji which farms, processes and exports kava from Savusavu. There s 50 to 60 per cent damage of the plants in the ground, he said. We will survive . Fiji is one country that is always resilient. Mr Praveen said the extent of the damage is likely to cause a sharp rise in the price of kava, as was seen in the aftermath of Cyclone Winston in 2016.

The Fiji Times » Goodwill under fire

3 January, 2021, 9:36 pm Sairusi Uluibau, 27, sits on the remains of his home that was destroyed by STC Yasa on Galoa Island. Picture: JOVESA NAISUA. Happy New Year! While covering super storm Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa’s trail of destruction in the north, one word hit me throughout my journeys. It is goodwill. I scratched the surface on this topic last week in my article Adversity and resilience and believe it is still appropriate to talk about as people move on with their lives post-STC Yasa. Goodwill is evident in our culture and religion. It is a source of progress for us as members of society.
