Furthermore, locally there have been projects based
around the conservation of the coral reefs. The Mamanuca
Environment society’s (MES) Biannual Sea Water
Monitoring Program has been around for 4 years whereby
tests are carried out on seawater for faecal coliform (FC)
bacteria, salinity and nutrients which helps in ascertaining
the health of the surrounding reefs [4].
Research indicates that projects of this nature are
developed on a large scale with generous funding from
reputable organizations. There is little indication of smallscale
and inexpensive projects that have a similar role in
places like marine jetties, cities and industrial rivers to
preserve aquaculture and public health. By applying a
strategic, cheap and methodical technique this project
hopes to achieve this in an effort to sanitize our oceans.
