The community of Teahupo’o, Tahiti, is concerned that coastal development to support the 2024 Olympic surfing event will impose harmful ecological impacts on their local coral reefs. The development is also altering and hardening the shoreline to provide new pathways to access the lagoon for boat transport to the judging tower.
