Coastal villages in Papua New Guinea are integral parts of the country’s cultural and social fabric. They are scattered across the coastline, often nestled in lush tropical landscapes with access to the rich marine resources of the Pacific Ocean. Many coastal villages feature traditional-style housing constructed from local materials such as palm leaves, bamboo, and timber. These houses are often raised on stilts to protect them from flooding and provide ventilation. The inhabitants of coastal villages typically engage in subsistence lifestyles, relying on fishing, agriculture, and gathering from the surrounding environment for their sustenance. Fishing is particularly important, with villagers using traditional methods such as nets, traps, and spears. Each coastal village in Papua New Guinea has its own unique cultural practices, traditions, and languages. These may include traditional dances, rituals, storytelling, and ceremonies that are passed down through generations.
