Hi Jean,

Thank you for your responses thus far.

To assist in completing the assessment of our options we require a few specific pieces of information:

1. Is it possible to provide some specific space requirements for the project as we have approaches that are better suited to larger areas and approaches that are better suited to smaller scale projects.

2. Is there a culture, custom or practice of weaving from natural materials in the local community that could be utilized for the weaving of baskets and bags for coastal rehabilitation?

3. Is there capacity for initial harvesting of bamboo, poles for stakes, and leaves for weaving, and for the cultivation of bamboo for an ongoing supply for future projects and maintenance?

4. Is there capacity for coconut harvesting to be used in an environmental restoration project or are they harvested for commercial purposes?

5. Is there capacity for local labour to participate in the harvesting of bamboo, construction of bags and baskets from natural materials and the erection of support stakes or bamboo breakwater walls?

Thanks
