An important mangrove area at the mouth of Tongatapu’s Fanga'uta Lagoon that was destroyed in 2017 to make way for a golf course project in Popua, is slowly being restored by the Department of Environment. Wide-spread earthworks also destroyed a heritage site, during site works for the golf course project that did not eventuate...Since last October, hundreds of mangrove seedlings have been planted in a nursery in the middle of the Popua swamp, as part of the ILAM project, under the Pacific Ridge to Reef Project.
