The Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF) in collaboration with the Fiji Revenue Customs Service (FRCS), the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) Project and other agencies (iTaukei Affairs Board, Nature Fiji, Fiji Navy and The Fiji Police Force) will embark on a three – week coastal awareness watch programme in selected coastal settlements in Vanua Levu, Savusavu and Taveuni from the 14 February – 5 March, 2022.

The coastal watch programme will allow agencies to create awareness and outreach amongst communities particularly in the areas where Fijians have difficulty in accessing vital information. As such this programme will allow the agencies the much needed opportunity to alleviate knowledge regarding their operations and activities.

This outreach program will eliminate gaps leading to a more knowledge based society. This is a proactive, collaborative and coordinated approach taken by the agencies regarding matters of concern to our communities.
