PRIME Minister Jeremiah Manele has honoured and acknowledged the guardians of traditional knowledge who have preserved and shared their invaluable knowledge from the past to the present.
This comes after the National Geographic Pristine Seas research expedition found the world’s biggest coral off the shores of Malau Lalo in Makira-Ulawa Province recently.
Speaking at the occasion to celebrate the end of the expedition at Heritage Park Hotel on Monday night, PM Manele said this existing traditional knowledge has paved the way for Solomon Islands to enhance its capacity in ocean science and enable it to sustainably manage its marine resources.
He said the astonishing discovery of the world’s largest coral colony is great news for all Solomon Islanders and the world.
