ENB Sea Keepers, Raluana (2026)

21/06/2026

The team at ENB Sea Keepers extends our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Mary Lino Austin for her generous donation of 10 snorkels and 10 masks to support our marine conservation work throughout East New Britain Province.

These essential tools will greatly assist our volunteers in conducting reef monitoring, coral restoration, and marine awareness activities in our coastal communities.

We also sincerely thank the Austin family for their continued support and belief in our vision. Your kindness and generosity are helping empower local communities to become stewards of our oceans. 💙🙏

Next Stop: Karavia Village, Pilapila, North Coast Road

Next week, ENB Sea Keepers will be heading to Karavia Village to conduct community awareness sessions. As an organization, we believe that conservation begins with understanding.

Before any activities are implemented, we first engage with communities through their "Lain" meetings, creating awareness, building trust, and ensuring that everyone understands the purpose and importance of protecting our marine resources.

Only after this process do we move into the different phases of our programs, working hand-in-hand with communities every step of the way.

Stay tuned for updates from Karavia Village!

Once again, thank you, Mary Lino AustJack Austininin, and the Austin family, for equipping our team and investing in the future of our oceans and communities. 🙏🥹❤️

🌏🐢 ENB Sea Keepers Environmental Awareness Program 🌿♻️

📍 Woolnough Vocational Education and Training (VET), Raluana LLG, Kokopo District, East New Britain Province
📅 Friday, 19 June

ENB Sea Keepers was privileged to conduct an environmental awareness session at Woolnough VET, engaging students and teachers from the departments of Mechanic, Welding, Cookery, Post-Harvest Operations (Fisheries), Aquaculture, Carpentry and Plumbing, and Hospitality and Tourism.

The session was met with great enthusiasm and participation from both students and staff. Participants showed genuine interest in the topics discussed and asked many insightful questions, demonstrating their commitment to understanding the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices within their respective trades and professions.

It was inspiring to see future mechanics, chefs, fishery officers, aquaculture practitioners, carpenters, plumbers, and hospitality professionals recognizing the role they can play in protecting our environment and marine resources for generations to come.

The lively discussions and thoughtful questions from students and teachers reflected a shared commitment to protecting our natural resources and building sustainable communities.

ENB Sea Keepers extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Manageress, Mrs. Rose Monalua, and the entire Woolnough VET team for their warm welcome, hospitality, and support in making this awareness session a success. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage with such passionate and motivated young people.

Together, we can inspire change and empower the next generation of environmental stewards for East New Britain and Papua New Guinea 🙏❤️🔥

At ENB Sea Keepers, we believe conservation and sustainable livelihoods must go hand in hand. We are excited to share the progress of our trial poultry project in Ialakua Village, led by youth team leaders Issac Aquila and Joshua Matalut, with support from Patrick Gomiai, our ENB Sea Keepers Coordinator who is also attached with the Cocoa Board under the PACD Project.

We are diversifying income-generating opportunities for our youths through eco-tourism, poultry farming, and backyard gardening.

Food security remains a major challenge for our communities, especially as populations grow, pollution increases, and access to land becomes more limited. Not every family has coconut plantations, cocoa blocks, or balsa projects, or even being employed to rely on for income.

Our youths have gained valuable skills through coral restoration, educational tours, marine conservation, community engagement, environmental monitoring, and leadership development. Now, we are helping them apply these skills to practical livelihood initiatives.

As a small but important step forward, our community youth leaders have opened BSP bank accounts, encouraging financial responsibility and preparing them to manage income from future enterprises.

At ENB Sea Keepers, we are not waiting for handouts. We want our young people to understand the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment required to build something meaningful.

Sustainable development comes from creating opportunities, building skills, and empowering people to take ownership of their future.

This poultry project is just the beginning. Stay tuned as we continue creating pathways that support both healthy communities and healthy ecosystems.🙏🔥

Alumni Spotlight: Building Leaders Beyond Conservation 🙏💪🥳

Today, I would like to feature one of our very own ENB Sea Keepers Alumni and former Team Leader (2021–2023), Nyran Tahija.

Hailing from New Ireland Province, Nyran recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Environmental Science with Distinction from Parul University in India.

His achievement reflects not only academic excellence but also a deep passion for environmental conservation and sustainable development.

At ENB Sea Keepers, we don't just focus on marine conservation. We invest in building young leaders who can contribute meaningfully to projects, communities, and the environment. Nyran is a perfect example of that vision.

Even while studying overseas, he continued supporting our work through GIS mapping and spatial analysis for projects in Madang, East New Britain, Manus, and New Ireland.

During the New Ireland fish kill event, when over 400 scientists worldwide were seeking information, and we were on the road with bad network coverage, we reached out to Nyran and he quickly developed a map of the affected areas that was shared across scientific networks and featured by multiple media outlets.

What many people saw was a map, what we saw was a young Papua New Guinean stepping up and using his skills to support his country when it mattered.

Nyran has developed strong expertise in GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis, coding, coral bleaching mapping, and sustainability.

More importantly, he has the passion and commitment to use these skills for positive impact.

We highly recommend Nyran for opportunities in environmental science, GIS, remote sensing, sustainability, ESG, conservation, and environmental monitoring.

If you have opportunities in these areas to build, mentor, and train in your organizations, we encourage you to connect with him on LinkedIn.

Congratulations, Nyran. We are proud of your journey and excited to see the impact you will continue to make. 💪🙏❤️

🎓🌿 ENB SEA KEEPERS SCHOOL AWARENESS PROGRAM AT VUNAMAMI FARMERS TRAINING CENTRE (TVET) 🌿🎓

The ENB Sea Keepers team was privileged to deliver an environmental awareness presentation at Vunamami Farmers Training Centre in Kokopo, East New Britain.

With approximately 250 trainees and 31 staff members, the Centre offers a diverse range of vocational and life skills programs including Agriculture, Fisheries, Tourism & Hospitality, Commercial Cookery, Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Auto Mechanics, Metal Fabrication & Welding, Dress Making & Tailoring, and other trade-related courses.

During the session, we highlighted the important connection between trade skills and environmental sustainability. Whether working in agriculture, fisheries, construction, tourism, mechanics, plumbing, or electrical services, every profession has a role to play in protecting our environment. Sustainable practices such as reducing waste, conserving water and energy, responsible resource use, proper waste disposal, and environmental stewardship can help create healthier communities and a more sustainable future.

We encouraged trainees to become environmentally responsible tradespeople and entrepreneurs who can integrate sustainable practices into their workplaces, businesses, and communities. By doing so, they not only contribute to economic development but also help safeguard Papua New Guinea's natural resources for future generations.

We were deeply encouraged by the enthusiasm and participation of the trainees throughout the presentation.

The Center expressed their gratitude, noting that the session was informative, educational, and well-delivered, and that trainees participated fully and enjoyed the learning experience.

A special thank you to: Mr. Joseph Vuia – Manager and Georgina Rarap – Events/TRC Coordinator.

Together, we can empower young people with the knowledge and skills needed to build sustainable livelihoods while protecting the environment. 🙏💙

🌿🌊 First Community Awareness Program for 2026 – Barovon Village 🌊🌿

ENB Sea Keepers and the Youths of Malia Foundation kicked off our first community awareness program for 2026 at Barovon Village, Raluana LLG, Kokopo District.

A special thank you to Ward Member Mr. Ulul Puipui and the community leaders for giving our team the opportunity to share awareness during the community line meeting. Located beside the beautiful Blue Lagoon and known for its marine environment, shipwrecks, and diving sites, Barovon is an important coastal community in East New Britain.

Our volunteers walked up the hill to the meeting venue where team leaders Wayne Aquila, Issac Akuila, Junior Ledman, Naiyas Neson, and Bethany Tapoli led discussions on marine conservation, environmental stewardship, climate change, and community action.

We were encouraged by the positive response from community members and hope to see Barovon take action, just as neighboring Ialakua Village has already begun through its conservation and environmental initiatives.

We are seeking support for transportation, fuel, and awareness materials to help us reach more communities.

🌊📚 ENB Sea Keepers Launches First School Awareness Program for 2026 at Kabaleo TVET Center 📚🌊

On Friday, 29th May 2026, ENB Sea Keepers proudly conducted its first awareness program for 2026 at Kabaleo TVET Center, an all-girls institution, as part of their Feast Day celebrations.

We were honored to be invited to this special event and extend our sincere appreciation to the administration, staff, and students for their warm welcome and hospitality.

Our volunteer team delivered awareness sessions on important topics, including marine conservation, coral reef protection, biodiversity conservation, climate change, waste management, environmental stewardship, and the role of youth in protecting our natural resources. We were encouraged by the enthusiasm and engagement shown by the students throughout the program.

What made the day even more special was the opportunity to reach a wider audience. Alongside the students and staff, parents, invited guests, and community members attending the Feast Day celebrations were also present, allowing us to share our conservation messages with people from different backgrounds and age groups.

As we continue our awareness outreach across East New Britain, we are still seeking support to help us reach more schools and communities. We are currently looking for sponsorship towards vehicle transportation, fuel, and the printing of educational awareness materials. Every contribution helps us bring environmental education and conservation awareness to more young people and communities.

Today, on the 24th of May 2026, we witnessed a beautiful glimpse of hope on the shores of Ialakua Village. 🌊🐢

We always look forward to the months of April and May, the nesting season of the Olive Ridley turtles on our beachfront at Ialakua.

While we recently received devastating news that two nesting mothers were harvested this month 😢 something beyond our control. Today reminded us why awareness, education, and community stewardship remain so important.

Our young boys from the village were down at the beach washing when they noticed one of the turtle nests had broken down, with hatchlings emerging during the heat of the day.

Knowing the hatchlings were vulnerable, they quickly reported it to our youth team, Solomon David and Benny William.

The hatchlings were carefully collected into a bucket and safely protected while waiting for the sun to go down. By the evening, the young turtle ambassadors proudly released the baby turtles into the sea.

This is a powerful testament to the impact of our awareness programs within local coastal schools and communities.

Youth stewardship is proving to be a powerful conservation tool, where young people are becoming protectors of their environment and guardians of marine life.

A huge thank you to these wonderful turtle ambassadors from Ialakua Village: Solomon David, Benny William, Amos K*k, Emory Elipas, Allan Richard, Junior Richard, Allan Rasal, Junior Mamu, Noel Leba, and Brendan Ainui.

Your actions today represent hope for our oceans and hope for the future of Olive Ridley turtles in our communities. 💙

Happy Turtle Day 🐢 ☺️

🌊 Marine Environmental Education Campaign Program Roll Out 🌿

ENB Sea Keepers is proud to officially roll out our yearly Marine Environmental Education Campaign across East New Britain.

Through this initiative, we aim to reach 10 schools and 10 communities this year, empowering young people and communities with knowledge and practical skills in marine conservation and environmental stewardship.

As we continue sharing our impact and expanding our outreach, we are also launching our ENB Sea Keepers merchandise fundraiser, with all proceeds directly supporting our school awareness campaigns, educational materials, logistics, and youth-led conservation activities.

We strongly believe that schools are one of the most effective spaces for environmental awareness, as we are teaching the future generation and instilling values, leadership, and responsibility in caring for our oceans, reefs, biodiversity, and environment.

Our campaign focuses on:
• Marine conservation awareness
• Coral reef protection
• Waste management and pollution awareness
• Climate change and environmental stewardship
• Youth leadership and community engagement
• Practical conservation knowledge and skills

If you would like to support our campaign through logistics, educational resources, awareness materials, or partnerships, please feel free to reach out through the contacts provided on our flyer.

Together, we can continue reaching more schools and communities throughout ENB.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the vision and work of ENB Sea Keepers in building environmentally responsible communities for the future. 🌏💙
