IT is finally confirmed that the sea waters in Madang was contaminated and poisoned by the highly toxic slurry spillage at Basamuk Nickel/Cobalt Refinery at Raicoast....

The independent Swiss specialist Dr. Mojon, who was engaged by the Madang administration, has confirmed this in his findings.

This will have a very negative impact on the lives of people.

The Madang government has already warned the people not use or consume fish from the sea.

This is likely to continue on for an indefinite period depending on the assessment of this problem.
