United Nations help is being sought as part of Fiji's plan to develop the country's northern "paradise" of Savusavu into a Blue Town. Addressing the Global Fund for Coral Reefs launch in New York last week Fiji's Permanent Representative to the UN, Satyendra Prasad, said the Blue Town concept was a unique one. Prasad said the Blue Town would see forestry conservation, mangrove protection, reef management and coastal infrastructures "brought together in a unique approach to sustainable development".
