And heritage isn't the only concern, with the location for the planned development sitting almost entirely below sea level, putting any future homes at risk from high tides. Nearly 1,000 people signed the petition to protect the site near Nuku'alofa and is the first to carry signatures from outside the Kingdom, as well as the first to have been passed on via email. Noble MP Lord Vaea officially signed the petition into the Tongan parliament, and says the broader circulation across borders has been important."
