ENB Sea Keepers, Raluana (2026)

27/09/2026

Through our Ialakua water pump project, community members can access water at 50 toea per container and K3 per drum.

However, with the current prolonged dry spell, many of our elderly widows and persons living with disabilities are struggling to afford water and access it themselves.

Following our educational tour with PNG UNRE Fisheries and Marine Science students, ENB Sea Keepers is using part of the funds received to purchase water and support these vulnerable households.

Our team leaders and local youths have also mobilised to help fill and carry water containers to those who need it most, especially in areas without road access.

This is what community-led climate action looks like. We don't just talk about resilience. We take action to support one another when it matters most.

Climate action is everyone's responsibility. If you are in a position to help your community, now is the time. 💚

🌿🌍 ENB SEA KEEPERS: CLIMATE HEALTH AWARENESS IN ACTION! 💚

With the current prolonged dry spells affecting our communities, ENB Sea Keepers is taking action to educate and empower local leaders on climate health.

Our program manager, Ms. Kaludia Kaumi and the team Bethany Graze Tapoli, Gabriel Taurakava, Emily Tangeim, Wayne Aquila, Issac Aquila and Junior Ledman recently conducted a Climate Health Awareness Workshop for ward members representing all 21 wards under Raluana LLG, including LLG President Mr Tiolam Wawaga

As climate change continues to affect our communities, building awareness and strengthening local leadership are important steps towards improving community resilience. We are also working with other LLGs to deliver similar awareness sessions for ward members in their respective areas.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY?

Don't always wait for the government. If you are in a position to assist, now is the time to step up. Whether it's sharing knowledge, supporting vulnerable families, providing clean water, or bringing people together, every effort counts.

You don't need to wait for a position or a title to make a difference. Start where you are, with what you have. Our communities need us now! 🤝

Through the educational tour by PNG UNRE’s Fisheries and Marine Science Department, funds are supporting our church grounds, team leaders facilitating the sessions, local mothers providing catering, and water containers for elderly and persons with disabilities affected by the prolonged dry spell. 🙏

At ENB Sea Keepers, we don’t gatekeep opportunities. We share them.

Most of our volunteers are undergraduate students at PNG UNRE, and we are committed to creating spaces where young people can learn, build confidence, find their niche, and see beyond the classroom.

Following their participation in PCNC11 in New Caledonia, our three Team Leaders, Bethany Tapoli, Frank John, and Naiyas Nelson, are bringing their experiences home to share with fellow students and staff.

This week, the seminars will take place, giving you the opportunity to hear directly from our Team Leaders about their experiences, lessons, networks, opportunities, and the importance of youth participation in conservation and decision-making.

📢 PNG UNRE students and staff — please clear your timetable and make time to attend!

Come along, listen, ask questions, and learn directly from Bethany, Frank, and Naiyas. 🙏

Because when one young person gets an opportunity, we want that knowledge and opportunity to reach many more. 💙🌊

ENB Sea Keepers is incredibly proud of our Team Leaders Bethany Tapoli, Frank John and Naiyas Neson, who travelled to New Caledonia to participate in the 11th Pacific Islands Conference for Nature Conservation and Protected Areas (PCNC11).

Bethany, Frank and Naiyas proudly represented the Papua New Guinea University of Natural Resources and Environment (PNG UNRE) as final-year students, while also representing ENB Sea Keepers as dedicated members and young conservation leaders.

As Team Leaders of ENB Sea Keepers, they have demonstrated their commitment to marine conservation, community engagement and youth leadership. We are proud to see them take these experiences beyond East New Britain and contribute their voices to important regional conversations on biodiversity and conservation. 🌊💙

A heartfelt thank you to the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN) for recognising our young leaders and making their participation possible through a sponsored trip to New Caledonia. 🙏🏽

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Claire Oiire and the entire SPREP team for your hard work, coordination and support in ensuring our team could participate and return home safely. Your efforts are deeply appreciated.

“Young Pacific people are not only leaders of tomorrow, we are the partners you need today.”

This message strongly reflects what we believe at ENB Sea Keepers. Young people must not only be prepared for future leadership, they must be given meaningful opportunities to participate, contribute and lead today.

Bethany, Frank and Naiyas, we are proud of you for carrying the names of PNG UNRE, ENB Sea Keepers, and Papua New Guinea with pride. 🇵🇬🌊

Your journey is only beginning. 🌏

Now comes the important part, bringing the knowledge, connections and inspiration from this regional experience back home and turning them into action.💪🔥

✨ STAY TUNED FOR PART TWO! ✨

ENB Sea Keepers was honored to be invited to present at the East New Britain Fisheries Development Strategy Validation Workshop in Kokopo in August.

Our management team was given a seat at the table, represented by Mr Vonklauss Siwat, accompanied by Patrick Gomiai, Wayne Aquila, and our Program Manager, Ms Kaludia Kaumi.

Mr Siwat presented on the mission we're on and the projects and programs we've been working on alongside coastal communities in East New Britain Province.

Thank you to the East New Britain Provincial Fisheries Division and the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) for the invitation to bring our community perspective to the table.

Our message was simple: Data matters!

We stressed the importance of data recording and management, and of building capacity in our LLGs and communities to contribute to that data, so it can inform decision-making, policy, and management practices for our fisheries and marine resources.

We acknowledge Mr Tommy Allan Bossi, Mr Dickson Kondaul, Mr Enoch Pabon, and Mr Simon Kaumi for giving us a seat at the table.

We're looking forward to alignment and working towards better management of fisheries and marine resources in East New Britain Province. 🙏

🌊 ENB SEA KEEPERS | CATCHING UP ON OUR ACTIVITIES 🌿

It has been a busy few months for ENB Sea Keepers, and while we have been a little quiet on social media, we are excited to share some of the important activities and experiences happening behind the scenes!

Recently, Mr. Akuila Tali, Ward Member for Ialakua Ward, Raluana LLG, Community Partner Lead for ENB Sea Keepers, and representative of the Malia Foundation, represented us at the Stakeholder Workshop to Review and Validate the Draft Guidelines for Establishing Conservation Deeds in Papua New Guinea, held in Port Moresby in August, 2026.

A huge thank you to WCS PNG for the invitation and for creating space for community representatives to contribute to this important national conversation on strengthening community-based conservation.

Reflecting on the experience, Akuila shared:

“I was surprised to meet so many stakeholders working in this space, but honestly, many of the things we are already doing in our communities are still being discussed and developed.”

Representing both the Local Level Government as a Ward Member and a community-based organisation was an honor and privilege for Akuila, allowing him to see how both spaces can work together.

For ENB Sea Keepers, this is an important reflection. Our community-based conservation work, including our customary marine closure, continues to be strengthened by working alongside existing community and government structures.

We are proud that our LLG and district have embraced our programs, creating opportunities to connect customary conservation practices with formal government systems.

The workshop focused on key areas, including community participation, customary rights, FPIC, land-use planning, governance, and practical implementation.

We are proud of Akuila for representing Ialakua and sharing the experiences of our communities in East New Britain.

Thanks, PNG, for the opportunity, and acknowledge Mr Magun from MAKATA for the pictures. 🙏

Two weeks ago, ENB Sea Keepers proudly sent two of our Team Leaders from Ialakua Village, Junior Ledman and Aquila Wayne, to Madang to participate in the 3-week Conservation Ranger Training Program hosted by the Guinea Binatang Research Center (BRC).

They joined 20 active participants from all over PNG, building networks in the conservation space.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate their successful graduation as certified active conservationists 🙏💪

Throughout the program, they gained valuable knowledge and practical skills spanning across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine conservation, equipping them with modern conservation methods that they will now bring back to strengthen community-led conservation initiatives across East New Britain.

At ENB Sea Keepers, investing in the future of our communities, especially our young people, has always been one of our highest priorities.

Building the capacity of local youth ensures the long-term sustainability of our conservation programs and empowers the next generation to protect Papua New Guinea's extraordinary biodiversity.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Merilyn Donigi - Saiwa, Dr. Pagi Toko, and the entire team at the New Guinea Binatang Research Center, Nagada for investing in the capacity building of our youth and providing this life-changing opportunity.

Your commitment to developing future conservation leaders will have a lasting impact on our communities. 🙏

Congratulations, Junior and Wayne! We are proud of your achievement and look forward to seeing you apply your new knowledge and leadership to inspire and strengthen conservation efforts throughout East New Britain.

The future of conservation is in the hands of our youth, and that future looks bright. 🙏💪🌊

One of the greatest rewards of leadership is creating opportunities for others.

ENB Sea Keepers was honoured to be invited by Steward Sengi Port Moresby Nature Park to attend the IUCN SSC Centre for Species Survival (PNG) Species Symposium. Although the team was unable to attend, we wanted to ensure our organisation was represented.

So we were proud to have two of our ENB Sea Keepers alumni from 2026 graduating cohort, Magousa Sasangi and Namo Matapere, attend on our behalf.

Over the three-day symposium, they immersed themselves in presentations and training, expanding their knowledge while connecting with Papua New Guinea's conservation community.

What made us especially proud was hearing that they left inspired, not only by the incredible conservation work being undertaken across the country but also by the people leading it.

They exchanged contact details with several professionals, including facilitator Mr. Tim Lyons, who expressed interest in involving them in future coral conservation and research opportunities.

Receiving a message from them afterward thanking ENB Sea Keepers for the opportunity and sharing how much they had learned over the three days reminded us why we invest so much in mentoring young conservationists.

Exposure to these spaces builds confidence, opens doors, and creates pathways for the next generation of environmental leaders.

Thank you to the IUCN SSC Center for Species Survival (PNG) for the invitation and for creating such an important platform for collaboration, learning, and strengthening species conservation in Papua New Guinea.

This is exactly what ENB Sea Keepers stands for, and that is empowering young people, creating opportunities, and ensuring the next generation is ready to lead conservation efforts for our country. 🌿🇵🇬💙
