where can you surf?<br />
The plan is divided into many different regions in<br />
PNG.<br />
• Vanimo SMP – Sandaun Province<br />
• Tupira SMP – Madang Province<br />
• Lovangai SMP – New Hanover – New Ireland<br />
Province<br />
• East Coast SMP – New Ireland Province<br />
• Central New Ireland SMP – New Ireland<br />
Province<br />
• Kavieng SMP – New Ireland Province<br />
If you are going to surf in different regions the<br />
necessary fees must be paid to the correct<br />
manager to ensure the money goes to the right<br />
family clan. You can transfer from one region to the<br />
other but you must pay the respective fees to the<br />
corresponding manager.<br />
costs<br />
who benefits from this?<br />
The families that live on and around these reef<br />
areas are the rightful owners. Commonly it is<br />
a woman who is the matriarch that handles all<br />
business transactions. She will have the final say<br />
on how they would like to receive their donation<br />
- it can come as a form of payment in the local<br />
currency or a product or service or even a payment<br />
of an electricity bill that will help the community<br />
with health, education or general living standards.<br />
The payments are made at the end and at the start<br />
of the surf season and will depend on the number<br />
of surfers that have visited the region.<br />
