    Oyster farmer James Martin wanted everyone to witness first-hand the splendour of the juncture between the rainforest and ocean he experienced every day. Leading a team of volunteers, he developed the Wild Pacific Trail, a 12-kilometre stretch of land open to all visitors. His efforts have since transformed the local economy, drawing thousands of nature lovers to the area each year.
