Description: Recent houses for employees and workers, on the beach of Temao, Makatea
A prefabricated building. In the background, a high cliff.
Comment : It is on this beach that will be built the port to make the first loads of phosphate. The atoll of Makatea was for a long time an economic driver for the French Polynesia region because of its large phosphate deposits. These were mined by the CFPO (Compagnie Française des Phosphates de l'Océanie) from 1917 until depletion of resources in 1966.
