An environmental emergency declaration has been confirmed for parts of the Cunningham River as well as the Suva Coastline beginning from the mouth of the Rewa river up to the Fiji Development bank foreshore.
The Department of Environment says due to serious health concerns, there shall be no fishing or any other recreational activities in these waters due to the waste water truck line that broke last month.
An Inter‑Agency Emergency committee comprising key stakeholders continue to meet on a weekly basis to closely monitor the situation.
The Fiji Police Force, as a member of this committee, is leading the monitoring of areas affected to deter the public from using affected water sources.
Areas declared under the Environmental Emergency Declaration are from the mouth of the Rewa river to the Fiji Development bank foreshore area including Nukulau Island, whole of Laucala Bay area and 3km further up the Cunningham River mouth.
