Sea Wall - Sea Level Rise Documentation (Papua New Guinea: 2006)
Playing his guitar Brian Paul sits on a sea wall, made of giant clams shells, built to halt the erosion of the island land by ocean waves, on Han Island.
Rising sea levels have eroded much of the coastlines of the low lying Carteret islands in Papua New Guinea and waves have crashed over the islands flooding and destroying what little crop gardens the islanders have. Food is in short supply, banana and swamp taro crops are failing due to the salt contamination of the land and the islanders live on a meagre one meal per day diet of fish and coconut. There is talk by the Autonomous Region of Bougainville government to relocate the Carteret Islanders to Bougainville Island, but this plan is stalled due to a lack of finances, resources, land and coordination.
