SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Parametric Solutions with WTW – Why\, What & How
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative free webinar event on the why\, what\, and how of parametric solutions and business insurance in Fiji\, hosted by WTW\, a leading global risk advisory and insurance brokerage solutions company. \nParametric solutions are a type of insurance that pays out when a pre-defined event occurs\, such as a natural disaster or weather-related losses. They provide a simple and transparent coverage concept for insurers and can help mitigate detrimental knock-on effects and get businesses back to normal quickly \nWith Fiji’s exposure to cyclones/hurricanes and floods\, WTW\, in partnership with IHL\, can provide a structured policy to pay an agreed amount in the event of a catastrophic event hitting Fiji. The policy includes coverage for Cyclone/Hurricane and Flood exposure\, pandemic cover\, and political risk. With offices in every state in Australia and New Zealand and business partner IHL in Fiji\, WTW is here to help businesses in Fiji with their insurance needs. \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR to learn more about the coverages available and how WTW can help your business. \nNote that the coverage can be extended to various sectors including hotels and resorts\, retailers\, manufacturers\, and airline operators. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to explore a non-traditional insurance policy that can benefit your business.

SUMMARY:Coral Bleaching in Fiji 2023: Understanding Resilience and Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful webinar on the current state of coral bleaching in Fiji\, presented by Helen Sykes\, an expert in Resort Support and Marine Ecology. In May 2023\, we will explore the alarming trends in global temperatures\, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, and its impact on Fiji’s marine ecosystem. \nAccording to recent NOAA data\, April 2023 ranked as the fourth warmest April on record\, with global ocean temperatures reaching a record high. We will examine the implications of rising water temperatures on coral reefs\, particularly focusing on Fiji’s last major coral bleaching event that occurred from 2000 to 2002. During this event\, average water temperatures above 29°C for more than 56 days resulted in widespread coral death across Fiji. \nBy analyzing temperature loggers and changes in average summer water temperatures\, we will uncover the alarming rise in water temperature by 0.4°C since the early 2000s. NOAA Coral Reef Watch has been actively issuing Bleaching Alerts\, which we will explore in detail\, highlighting the predictions and subsequent events related to bleaching likelihood in Fiji during 2023. \nSurprisingly\, recent in-water temperature logger data from Beqa shallow reef has shown that the corals have defied expectations. Despite the prolonged exposure to temperatures that historically would have resulted in significant coral mortality\, the corals have adapted and resisted mass death. We will discuss this fascinating adaptation and the role of “Day-Glo” or bright colours\, which new research suggests may be corals evolving to protect themselves after losing zooxanthellae algae. \nFor divers planning to visit Fiji\, we will provide valuable information on the resilience of Fiji’s coral reefs. While 20 years ago\, most corals did not survive long-term temperatures over 29°C\, they are now displaying resistance to temperatures approximately half a degree higher. Corals that exhibit “Day-Glo” colours are adapting and have a higher chance of surviving prolonged exposure to warmer water. \nThis webinar aims to raise awareness about the real and impactful effects of climate change on coral reefs worldwide. We are fortunate that Fiji possesses highly resilient corals that are adapting to warming waters. To support the conservation of these special reefs\, we encourage divers and enthusiasts to sign an online petition urging policymakers to value and protect these 50 globally important reefs. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the current state of coral bleaching in Fiji and understand the importance of conservation efforts. Register now and join us for an engaging discussion on Fiji’s coral reefs\, climate change\, and the potential for resilience and adaptation in the face of adversity. \n \n  \n
