Summary
The document outlines the safeguards and operational frameworks for the Coral Reef Rescue Project (CRRP) in Fiji's Great Sea Reef. It details the project's goals to protect coral reefs through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and Nature-based Solutions (NbS), while ensuring the rights of iTaukei and Indo-Fijian communities. The framework includes detailed risk mitigation for environmental damage, social displacement, and gender-based violence, alongside a comprehensive Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) and a Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) process for indigenous peoples.
Key insights
- The project aims to protect the Great Sea Reef (GSR) by 2033, focusing on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to maintain reef health and support the livelihoods of coastal communities.
- The project is structured into three main components: implementing EbA and NbS to increase resilience, establishing a 10-year Ridge to Reef (R2R) management plan for the GSR, and supporting 'reef positive' businesses through financial grants and loans.
- The project recognizes two primary ethnic groups in Fiji—the iTaukei (approximately 63%) and Indo-Fijians (approximately 33%)—and mandates that both groups be included in the FPIC process to prevent conflict and ensure equitable benefit sharing.
- A Gender Action Plan (GAP) is established to address high rates of gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) in Fiji, aiming for 30-50% female representation in decision-making for fisheries and agriculture.
- The project implements a comprehensive Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) allowing stakeholders to submit complaints via grievance boxes, telephone (+679 331-5533), email, or the WWF Pacific website.
- The project mandates a 'Chance Finds Procedure' to protect cultural heritage, requiring immediate cessation of work if archaeological sites or sacred areas are discovered during construction or restoration.
- Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements include the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles, ear plugs, and work boots, and the implementation of a Fall Protection Plan for work at heights.
- The project establishes a strict exclusion list of prohibited activities, including commercial logging, mining, the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and any activity causing involuntary physical or economic displacement.
