Acting Prime Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says they need commitment from every Fijian to save our oceans and we all have to be more aware about the waste we create and where it ends.
While speaking at “Pacific Voices for a Global Ocean Challenge” Conference at the University of the South Pacific today, Sayed-Khaiyum urged all Fijians to condemn that every opportunity and actions that threaten our oceans or any part of the natural environment.
He says we all have to do better than just having laws in place.
Sayed-Khaiyum told the participants that we need all citizens to appreciate the grave risks our oceans face and understand what they can do to make a difference.
He adds Fiji is leading the charge, putting the voices of the Pacific to the forefront and rallying other nations to protect oceans today and preserve them for the generations to come.
The conference will finish tomorrow afternoon.
