Mangroves For Fiji - Beqa Adventure Divers

Mangroves are the rainforests by the Sea, and equally threatened.
They are vital habitats that not only protect the coasts against tsunamis, hurricanes and Sea level change, but directly benefit the adjacent reefs by exporting life-building carbon and above all, by being the nursery areas of countless marine organisms from crustaceans all the way to Sharks. They are also largely overlooked excellent carbon sinks that sequester multiple amounts of carbon when compared to tropical and temperate forests.

2010 has been declared the Year of Biodiversity.
Beqa Adventure Divers are one of Fiji’s premier ecotourism operators and have decided to make a contribution. This is a privately funded project that combines the advantages of planting Mangroves with the advantages of offsetting one’s carbon footprint.

Global carbon trading is on the increase and BAD could have easily paid money to an intermediary who would have then financed a forest or windmills in a far away country. Being however beholden to Fiji, BAD has searched for a home-grown alternative, alas in vain.
BAD has decided to run such a project. See blog post

In Fiji, Dancing With Sharks - NY Times

In Fiji, Dancing With Sharks

By GREG WINTER

Published: January 17, 2010

THERE’S a moment when the sheer awe of being arm’s length from a procession of hungry sharks — so close that you lock eyes with each one as it blitzes by your head — gives way to a sudden burst of clarity, and all your thoughts coalesce into a single edifying idea: “Maybe I should duck.”

Scuba diving in Fiji, a collection of some 300 islands strewn across the South Pacific, poses a kind of recreational Sophie’s Choice for anyone with less than a month on his hands. Do I chase manta rays across the famed Astrolabe Reef off Kadavu Island? Can I make it to the pristine, remote waters between the big islands? What about the legendary soft corals carpeting the Great White Wall in the Somosomo Strait? Shark diving in Pacific Harbor, a couple of hours’ drive from the international airport on Viti Levu, elbowed its way onto my list because it offers a fairly certain chance of seeing what any honest diver will admit to yearn for: lots and lots of big fish.

Fiji: So beautiful, its deafening - Press and Journal.co.uk

Fiji: so beautiful, it’s deafening

Xenia Gregoriadis discovered what paradise is all about and lived the celebrity life on a mind-blowing holiday in Fiji

Published: 09/01/2010

IF YOUR experience of nature’s bounty is limited to shrink-wrapped tropical fruit and exotic shower gels, the wondrous reality of Fiji will take some getting used to.

Mangoes and coconuts fall at your feet on this glistening archipelago in the South Pacific, while flame-red hibiscus and fragrant frangipani bloom all around you.

It’s about as close to paradise as you can get.

With more than 800 islands (fewer than 200 are inhabited), it really is postcard perfect: languid sandy beaches, turquoise water, palm trees bending lazily in the breeze, thick rainforest and those truly epic skies.

My first sight of a magnificent Fijian dawn was almost deafening due to the sheer volume of colour and beauty.

Perhaps this natural abundance explains why Fijians, despite their relative poverty, radiate a rare and solid warmth and greet visitors with a high-spirited “Bula” (hello) like long-lost members of one large extended family. They are famous for their incredible generosity of spirit.

It took almost 30 hours and three plane rides to reach our first destination, the Namale resort in the north of Vanua Levu, one of the two main islands. No wonder it is popular with the Hollywood jet-set – Meg Ryan is a regular – and wealthy newlyweds from Australia and America.

My room for a couple of magical nights was the honeymoon suite or “bure” (pronounced boor-eh), which is the name given to the traditional thatched-hut-like dwellings that are everywhere in Fiji.

Perched on top of a large volcanic rock, this one has a hot tub big enough for two. Picture Meg Ryan and a leading man of your choice flinging open the bedroom door and tripping the light fantastic across a little bridge on to a private balcony and an electric blue infinity pool overlooking the ocean.

On the secluded beach below hangs another double bed, which swings to the rhythm of the waves.

Although Namale is described as “affordable” luxury, the cheapest bure at just under $1,000 (about £610) per night makes this a pretty exclusive place to stay.

Having said that, there are tempting deals for group bookings. You could actually get married in Namale to treat your closest friends and family to the trip of a lifetime for less than the average cost of a UK wedding.

Another ideal spot for honeymooners – we counted at least six such couples at breakfast – is a resort called Qamea, located on a tiny islet of the same name.

Here the bures, which are everywhere in Fiji, are closer knit than in Namale and as a result the atmosphere is a little livelier.

Staff mix easily with the guests, and in the evenings everyone comes together in the bar to drink cold beer or kava – the relaxing, intoxicating brew which Fijians drink like tea – and to listen to the musicians, better known as Band Boys.

One of the best things about Qamea is the Jungle Spa, which does exactly what it says on the tin. A warm seashell massage in one of the treatment bures during a heavy downpour was a unique experience, especially the part where, wrapped only in a towel, I had to find my way back to the reception area in the dark, dodging raindrops the size of apples and an army of belching toads hopping around my feet. What an amazing feeling.

Of course, it is all too easy to cocoon yourself in the lush surrounds of resorts like these, but there is a lot to do besides sipping cocktails under the stars.

Adventurous backpackers might fancy zip-lining in the jungle or shark diving in Pacific Harbour.

Surrounded by miles of soft coral reef, the island offers unparalleled snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities.

If you have time and money for just one organised activity, though, I suggest the Sigatoka River Safari, an award-winning tour operation devised by a young American called Jay Whyte.

THE tourism industry in Pacific Harbour is looking forward to a well-earned New Year's drink this year.

With service being the foundation of the hospitality business, it was no picnic this year.

Cyclone Mick did its worst with damage to the Serua/Namosi region estimated at $5million, mostly to smallholder farmers.

Baka trees, some older than the Pacific Harbour and Deuba settlements, were tossed around like matchsticks.

But resorts provided almost uninterrupted service to their guests.

In only a couple of cases did the visitors realise that the local community was deprived of water and electricity.

That was because of smart planning and skilled staff.

One resort owner went to the trouble of transporting over 20 Hong Kong visitors to Suva so that they would not be inconvenienced by the water shortage.

The management of the Uprising Resort called in all available staff to ensure the clean-up was completed in the shortest possible time. As a result, everything was back to normal in no time.

The Adventure Capital of Fiji remained just that, with uninterrupted diving trips off Lagoon Resort.

Most of the other attractions were back in action within a few hours of Mick departing our shores.

The famous Fiji smile was there in spite of it all.

Agriculture will take some time to recover from this devastation and our hearts go out to those who have lost so much.

Fiji International Year of the Shark

As the hands of the clock approach midnight for Sharks, organizations working for their protection have joined forces and declared 2009 The International Year of the Shark.

As part of the International Year of the Shark, Beqa Adventure Divers and Shark Reef Marine Reserve have partnered with local and international organizations to offer you the Fiji Shark Conservation and Awareness Project.

The motion aims to raise global awareness of their imminent extinction and the oceanic crisis at hand.

Recent findings of the Global Shark Assessment indicate that at current rates of decline, extinction of the most threatened species of Shark is forecast in 10 to 15 years. In large regions, species that were once numerous have virtually disappeared, in a massacre comparable to that of the buffalo on the North American plains 200 years ago, but on a much larger scale. For example, studies of oceanic Sharks estimate 80 to 90% of heavily fished species are gone. Yet these intelligent animals are still fished intensively, and finned, usually while still alive, for shark fin soup.

Team Uprising

Thursday, January 22, 2009 - Fiji Times Online

Ranked the lowest amongst the Fijian teams, current Byron Bay Champions, Uprising Beach Resort rugby team, leave our shores today for the Hottest Sevens in Darwin.

"We are ranked the lowest because of our lack of experience," said Rene Munch, coach and trainer of the team.

Twelve team members, captained by John Moroivalu, will compete against some of the world's best exponents of the abbreviated code.

Munch is also the owner of the Uprising Beach Resort in Pacific Harbor and was a member of the team until he injured himself.

The team comprises of staff from the resort.

They will compete against rugby powerhouses and Rene says this will be a chance of a life time for some of the players.

"We are pooled with Samoa and I know it is going to be very difficult but it is good learning ground," he said.

Other strong Fijian teams Davetalevu, Red Rock, Drifters and Global Fiji Samurai are also part of the tournament.

"The team has been in camp for the past two weeks in the resort compounds and we have tents erected on the beach-front," Munch said.

Munch said he was happy to see the level of fitness was to his expectation after numerous training sessions.

"The resort has its own gym so the boys are able to train here everyday. The team also has a lot of fast runners which is an advantage."

Uprising has only been in existence for a year and so far has had a successful year, winning three tournaments out of four. They lost to the Fiji side at the Brisbane Sevens last October.

"My aim is basically to expose the boys to more international tournaments," Munch said.

Pacific Harbour Fashion

Kruse-ing shoreline fashion

By Irene Manueli
Saturday, December 06, 2008

IT's time to give the popular 'z' dress code a shake-up, says fashionista Courtney Kruse.

After all, "it's getting to be monotonous," she reasoned.

The spirited 26-year-old fashion designer of Samoan heritage hopes her creations will provide the impetus for locals to shift from blasÚ bula.

She is among the 12 'emerging designers' who will bare themselves, through their creations that is, for the critique of established designers, fashion editors and the stylishly-inclined at the Fiji Fashion Week today.

Courtney is not exactly a babe in the waters though.

She shares creative credit with Horace Gock of Staying Alive and Herman Chung of Xoolu for UBR Wear.

She was also a runner-up in a designers contest years ago in which she was placed fourth in a category that was won by renowned designers Hupfeld Hoerder and Sisifa Fifita.

Despite her experience, it's only this year that Courtney has spawned her very own brand, Shorelines; hence her listing in the Emerging Designers category, under which she has four labels.

La Moana; inspired by her paternal grandmother Moana who introduced her to fashion with her love of mumu, is her collection of elegant, evening wear for ladies, Local Boy is the line of men's corporate wear, Salulu is her plus-size range which includes maternity wear and mumu, and Lulu Lailai is, as the name denotes, her children's collection.

The best of these labels will be among the 12 pieces to be sashayed on Fiji's high fashion runway this evening.

The last few months have been a frenzied time for Courtney.

Aside from pushing her creative juices into overdrive for her labels, she set up Shorelines Fiji Limited to manage her designs, and oversees her design commitments at her partner's Uprising Resort in Pacific Harbour.

FIJI PALMS Pacific Harbour

This way, says exec - Fiji Times Online

A TOURIST industry executive says the timeshare concept is expected to stimulate economic growth in times of political and economic instability in the country.

Jim Sherlock, chair of the Pacific Harbour Tourism Association says there are only four timeshare ventures and so far they has proved to be a success being the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry worldwide.

The Fiji Palms Beach Club and Resort is the oldest and largest timeshare apartment in the country with more than 400 owners across the globe from England to the remotest parts of the United States.

On Wednesday, Fiji Palms opened its new extension of 26 two-bedroom units at a total cost of $3.5 million at Pacific Harbour from the 14 units it previously had.

Mr Sherlock said Fiji Palms' extension demonstrated investors still had faith in the timeshare concept and it was the best way of stimulating the economy to counter the global financial crisis.

Mr Sherlock, who is also the owner of The Lagoon Resort in Deuba, said the concept was not easily influenced by political and economic instability.
