It still doesn't make sense
It still doesn't make sense continuing to settle more & more people into the Popua tidal zone. This is at the risk of the settlers and their building investments as well as the consequent loss of a major Polynesian heritage site. Other issues are environmental impact and health & safety. This area & Nukunukumotu was washed through by cyclone surges already in the past and there will be more to come. This is even without sea level rise to consider.
