Litter Intelligence is a long-term programme led by registered New Zealand charity Sustainable Coastlines. Funded by the Ministry for the Environment through the Waste Minimisation Fund, Litter Intelligence also works in close collaboration with the Department of Conservation and Statistics New Zealand. Its project manager is Dr Sandy Britain, a keen surfer who has called Gisborne home since moving here from North Wales with his family in 2004, after falling for the waves on a surfing holiday. Litter is a major risk to people, culture, environment and economy — especially when it enters the marine environment.

He said some of the bodies had been recovered but others had been swept out to sea. Mr Ma’u said people whose homes were inundated on ‘Eua and also around Tongatapu’s Fanga’uta Lagoon, had been Ruins of Vakaloa Resort, in west Tongatapu, following Tropical Waterfront offices in ‘Eua were destroyed by Cyclone Harold rehoused in tents and supplied Cyclone Harold. which hit Tonga last week. with kitchen equipment.
