Marriott International Fiji Resorts as the leading hotel company in Fiji with three brands and five resorts in the portfolio were delighted to announce that associates and guests gathered together on 20 February 2020 to plant 2020 mangrove seedlings at their Marriott Momi Bay resort.

The significance of the date posed the ideal timing to highlight the effects of climate change and garner support for the Marriott International for Mangroves, Rivers & Reefs foundation. In partnership with The Ministry of Fisheries, Fiji, the foundation actively hosts eco focused activities and events for guests and associates to participate and contribute to fund projects that sustain, manage and protect Fiji’s important marine ecosystem.

Approximately 100 people planted the 2020 mangrove seedlings along the Momi Bay shoreline including Tui Nalolo – Ratu Kini from local Lomawai Village which are important to protect coastlines, prevent erosion and provide feeding habitats for marine life.
