Sailing to a Former Leper Colony on a Remote Island in Fiji and Learning About Marine Conservation.

Episode #290 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,
On this episode I depart Savusavu at midnight and make way for the former leper colony island of Makogai Island. Makogai is now under the care of the Marine Fisheries department and is where they grow all of the coral for the Fijian Islands as well as growing the endangered Giant Clams. They also use the facilities as a nursery for sea turtles when they are hatching.

I have an amazing visit with the only two occupants of island, Pau and Mary. Heard about there life there and got a tour of the grounds.
