Residents of the Maniwiriwiri community in central Makira are calling on the Ministry of Environment to assess the environmental impact of a log ship that wrecked at the Waimahui log pond in the area.
Speaking on behalf of people in the Maniwiriwiri community in Makira Ulawa Province, Sam Kelly told SIBC the wrecked MV Serenity was diverting waves and causing damage to nearby coconut plantations.
He said oil spillage from the ship, which has been left in the area for three weeks now, has polluted the sea in the area.
