PNG’s New Ireland Coastal Waters Causing Fish Deaths, Human Sickness
Communities along Papua New Guinea’s New Ireland east coast have faced massive fish die‑offs and human illnesses since December 2025, with over 3,400 dead marine animals recorded across 15 species.

Officials have warned against eating local fish until the source is confirmed.
