Energy: The coastal communities like Lucea and Sandy Bay have significant potential for harnessing tidal and wind energy. The use of renewable sources would resonate with the Energy tenet of the Wealth Ecology Model, balancing economic gains with ecological preservation.

Technology: Technology’s role can be highly impactful in areas like Hopewell, where tech-driven logistical solutions for the fishing industry could create efficiencies and increase yields, enhancing both the community’s wealth and its sustainable practices.

Community: Communities like Cascade and Kew, which are further inland and possibly more isolated, could benefit from community-led initiatives like localized healthcare services or agricultural co-ops. Such projects, founded on the principles of community and cooperation, are a vital aspect of your Wealth Ecology Model.

Education: In Johnson Town and Haughton Grove, educational programs that emphasize both traditional academics and vocational skills can provide a well-rounded curriculum that prepares youth for a variety of career paths, thereby enhancing human capital and future earning potential.

Thus, the Wealth Ecology Model could serve as an instrumental framework for holistic development in Hanover Eastern. Energy, technology, community, and education can be woven into each community’s fabric, to cultivate a balanced ecosystem of wealth that serves current and future generations.
