Abstract
Tonga's International Waters Project (IWP) designed a pilot project that included the active participation of the people of Nukuhetulu as well as other stakeholders. The pilot project aimed to address the current priority environmental concern for Tonga, which is the "degradation of marine and freshwater quality". Pilot activities focused on community-based waste reduction, and were supplemented by the improvement of fresh water quality. However, to identify relevant and appropriate community-based activities that could be supported by the IWP and to be sustained by Nukuhetulu when the IWP ended, several baseline studies were carried out.
