La barriera corallina circonda completamente Upolu e per due terzi Savai’i. L’arcipelago è grande come la Valle d’Aosta. Nei villaggi samoani proverete “Fa’a Samoa”, ovvero la tipicità della vita Samoana. Le persone qui sono molto gentili e accoglienti,nel tipico stile polinesiano e vi faranno sentire a casa. Potrete anche nuotare con le tartarughe, esplorare l’isola in auto oppure con piacevoli escursioni guidate. 1° GIORNO LUNEDÌ MILANO/ROMA - SYDNEY (-/ - /-) Partenza.

Vi basterà attraversare la strada ed essere in Hyde Park il grande polmone verde con alberi secolari, monumenti e tante persone da incontrare. Dirigetevi verso la splendida cattedrale di St. Mary e percorrete il parco nella sua parte bassa sino alla Galleria d’arte del NSW. Proseguite lungo i sentieri che portano in basso ed in breve tempo sarete in vista della splendida area di Wooloomoloo Bay con la sua marina esclusiva. Attraversate il ponticello pedonale che porta alle villette residenziali ed in breve tempo vi ritrovate sul mare con in vista su Potts Point e la baia verso il mare aperto. Siete ora nei magnifici Royal Botanic gardens e perchè no una sosta in piscina od uno snack al Pool Side cafè ci sta proprio bene!. Ancora pochi passi e si doppia il capo di Mrs Macquaries Chair . Prendetevi tempo per godere della vista magnifica del Sydney Harbour Bridge (simpaticamente chiamato il vecchio attaccapanni), sull’ Opera House e sullo skyline di Sydney; le foto ed i commenti saranno anche troppi!. Bene ora non vi rimane che prendere la vita come un abitante di Sydney e sdraiarvi nei prati circostanti. Il cammino prosegue sino al Circular Quay ed alla storica zona dei Rocks volendo. Altrimenti potrete prendere uno dei tanti ferryboat che portano a Darling Harbour e concedervi così una crociera lowcost sulla baia di Sydney. Sbarcati a Darling Harbour potrete esplorare questa baia e gustarvi uno snack in uno dei numerosi localini en plen air. Da qui potrete raggiungere il Fishmarket dove potrete scegliere il trancio di pesce che preferite e vederlo cucinare sotto i vostri occhi . La mia passeggiata si può concludere ai Paddy’s market tra mille cianfrusaglie anche simpatiche oppure raggiungere nuovamente la oramai vicina di Sydney Tower Eye da dove sono partito. 4° GIORNO GIOVEDÌ SYDNEY APIA (UPOLU) ( - / - / - ) Ultima giornata da dedicare interamente alla città.

Trasferimento in minivan in hotel. 6° GIORNO SABATO UPOLU / ( B / - / - ) Le Samoa sono composte principalmente da due isole (Upolu e Savai’i) tra loro adiacenti e collegate da un traghetto. Ad Upolu si trova l’ aeroporto che collega queste isole ad Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Fiji. Detto ciò una volta sbarcati dall’ aereo ci si trova catapultati in un altro mondo, dove il sorriso e la cordialità della gente, la bellezza delle spiagge, delle calette rocciose, dell’entroterra delle isole (ove tra le vegetazione rigogliosa si trovano magnifici bluhole), ci fa pensare ad un mondo perduto, al giardino dell’ Eden. E qui tutto si complica nella sua semplice bellezza perché i samoani si ritengono i primi abitanti del Pacifico, meglio ancora coloro che sono sempre esistiti a Samoa! Ed allora sarà proprio il perduto Eden, la mitica Hawaiki Nui culla ancestrale della civiltà polinesiana? Upolu Ad Upolu si trovano la capitale Apia e naturalmente l’ aeroporto internazionale. Ci sono moltissime cose da fare e da vedere scopriamole insieme. Il Mare: Le acque di queste isole abbondano di pesci coloratissimi, tartarughe e razze, e sia che vi troviate su Upolu o Savai’i, ‘’armatevi’’ di maschera e boccaglio: c’è un mondo sottomarino che aspetta solo di essere esplorato! Poi affittate una macchina, e dirigetevi verso la costa sud, per toccare con mano l’incredibile costiera Samoana. Le Spiagge: La spiaggia nera di Aganoa ha delle acque profonde ma sicure. Si trova vicino al villaggio di Maninoa e vi si accede da un sentiero. Lalomanu Beach: Si trova a circa 1 ora e mezzo da Mulifanua, e qui troverete alcuni dei punti di immersione migliori di tutta l’isola. Non ci sarà bisogno di allontanarsi troppo per ammirare tartarughe e pesci dai colori sgargianti. A soli 10 minuti di barca da Lalomanu Beach si trova Namua Island. Vavau Beach è un luogo affascinante e appartato che vi metterà davanti a una dura scelta: fare snorkeling o dormire? Faiaai Beach è contornata da palme. Chiedete informazioni ai locali, sapranno indicarvi dove si trova il viottolo che SIMONI VIAGGI srl - Via Affò 1/b - 43121 PARMA-ITALY TEL 0521 228311 Agenzia viaggi dal 1983, con passione e impegno SIMONI VIAGGI S.r.l.

L’entroterra Le cascate: Sono veramente tante e merita esplorarle. Togitogiga Waterfall un tempo era un punto dove si allenavano i guerrieri Samoani. La cascata diventa molto più bella durante la stagione delle piogge, quando le acque sono calme e limpide. Fuipisia Waterfall ovvero uno strapiombo di 55m nel cuore della giungla, luogo rinomato per fare hiking e osservare numerosi uccelli tropicali. Mu Pagoa falls piombano nell’oceano e si scontrano direttamente con la sabbia scura, dando vita a straordinari giochi di luce. Sua Ocean Trench: si tratta di uno swimming hole incontaminato, il più fotografato in Instagram! Situato nel cuore della foresta pluviale, il canale è una piscina di origine vulcanica che si riempie con le maree oceaniche. Non è per i deboli di cuore, l’ingresso si trova lungo una ripida, e a volte scivolosa, scala di legno. Piula (Fatumea) Cave pool: si trova lungo la costa orientale, a circa 45 minuti da Apia, vicino al Piula Theological College, nel villaggio di Lufilufi. Si tratta di una meravigliosa piscina d’acqua sorgiva, fresca e cristallina, all’interno di una grotta, originata da un antico tunnel lavico. Da esplorare anche la meravigliosa grotta sottomarina che conduce a una seconda grotta. Orario di apertura lun-sab: 8:00 – 16:00. Le attività Nuotare con le tartarughe: sicuramente non vedrete molte tartarughe andando in kayak o mentre fate snorkeling, ma per pochi dollari potrete provare l’ebbrezza di nuotare in mezzo alle tartarughe verdi, una specie purtroppo in via di estinzione che qui viene cresciuta in cattività e rilasciata in natura in età adulta. Le piccole tartarughe vengono accudite al Satoalepai Turtle Sanctuary, a Savai’i, e una volta libere, possono arrivare a pesare fino a 180kg. Palolo Deep Marine Reserve: se avrete voglia di spostarvi un po’, vi segnaliamo anche le baie di Matereva. Per accedervi senza barca potete recarvi direttamente al Palolo Deep Marine Reserve, ad Apia. Bisogna percorrere un tratto abbastanza lungo a nuoto, ma una volta arrivati, avrete il privilegio di nuotare in mezzo agli squali della barriera corallina; un’esperienza davvero eccitante e del tutto sicura. Un’occasione da non perdere! La riserva mette a disposizione attrezzatura da snorkeling a noleggio. Immersioni sub: Samoa è un luogo molto piacevole, in cui si può imparare a fare immersioni – dove la temperatura dell’acqua si aggira intorno ai 26 - 29 gradi tutto l’anno, e la visibilità è perfetta.

    ESTABLISHING A HOLOCENE TEPHROCHRONOLOGY FOR WESTERN SAMOA AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR THE RE-EVALUATION OF VOLCANIC HAZARDS by Aleni Fepuleai A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Copyright © 2016 by Aleni Fepuleai School of Geography, Earth Science and Environment Faculty of Science, Technology and Environment The University of the South Pacific August 2016 DECLARATION Statement by Author I, Aleni Fepuleai, declare that this thesis is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no material previously published, or substantially overlapping with material submitted for the award of any other degree at any institution, except where due acknowledge is made in the next.

Signature Date: 01/07/15 Name: Dr Eleanor John Designation: Principal Supervisor ABSTRACT Samoan volcanism is tectonically controlled and is generated by tension-stress activities associated with the sharp bend in the Pacific Plate (Northern Terminus) at the Tonga Trench. The Samoan island chain dominated by a mixture of shield and post-erosional volcanism activities. The closed basin structures of volcanoes such as the Crater Lake Lanoto enable the entrapment and retention of a near-complete sedimentary record, itself recording its eruptive history. Crater Lanoto is characterised as a compound monogenetic and short-term volcano. A high proportion of primary tephra components were found in a core extracted from Crater Lake Lanoto show that Crater Lanoto erupted four times (tephra bed-1, 2, 3, and 4).

It provides a snapshot of the information collected from the Population Questionnaire and some highlights of the Housing Questionnaire. It also provides the final count of the population of Samoa in November 7th 2016 by statistical regions, political districts and villages. Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused.

INTRODUCTION Samoa is part of the Polynesia-Micronesia Biodiversity Hotspot, one of 34 regions of the world where extraordinary levels of biodiversity and endemism are coupled with extremely high levels of threat (Mittermeier et al. 2004). The four Aleipata islands (Photo 1), holding a high percentage of representative and threatened species of Samoa, certainly represent a key site in the Polynesia-Micronesia biodiversity hotspot. In a 1986 review of 226 islands in the South Pacific region, these islands together rated 30th in importance for biological diversity (Vanderwoude et al. 2006). They were also more recently included in the list of the 7 Key Biodiversity Areas of Samoa (Conservation International et al.

  • Samoa Und Fiji
    Samoa und Fiji Juwelen der Südsee 1.195 m 19 Übernachtungen im Hotel, im Gästehaus und in Strandhütten Leichte Wanderungen und Trekking zwischen 2 und 4 Stunden Gehzeit Regenwälder, wilde unberührte Berglandschaften und Traumstrände Kulturtrekking zu den Bergdörfern auf Viti Levu Eintägiger Segeltörn zur Insel Tivua Samoa liegt mitten im Südpazifik, nur wenige Kilometer östlich der Datumsgrenze. Der klei- ne Inselstaat kennt keinen Massentourismus. Hier finden Sie eine gewachsene, lebendige Kultur und eine nahezu unberührte Natur – intakte Regenwälder, einsame, kaum begangene Berggebiete, riesige Mangrovenwälder, zahlreiche Riffe rund um die zwei Hauptinseln Upolu und Savaii und eine prächtige Unterwasserwelt mit bunt-schillernden, tropischen Fischen. Weißsandige Strände laden zum Baden ein. Ein ausgeprägter Gemeinschaftssinn, Gelassenheit und Heiterkeit zeichnen die samoani- sche Lebensweise, Faa Samoa, aus. Hektik und Stress sind den Inselbewohnern fremd, Veränderungen werden nur dann akzeptiert, wenn sie den Frieden im Dorf und in den ein- zelnen Familien nicht stören. Wer offen dafür ist, sich auf die samoanische Kultur einzulas- sen, mit den Menschen in der Dorfgemeinschaft zu wohnen und zu feiern, wird neue Freun- de und vielleicht auch neue Einsichten gewinnen. Viele Dörfer haben weder Telefon noch Strom; europäischen Standard dürfen Sie also nicht erwarten. Übernachtet wird oft in sog. fales; das sind direkt am Strand liegende Hütten. Wer bereit ist, auf touristischen Komfort zu verzichten, kann auf einer einsamen Insel draußen vor dem Riff warmen Wind spüren, sich am kristallklaren Wasser erfreuen und den Duft von Tausenden von Ingwer-Blüten riechen. Während der Reise im August / September findet voraussichtlich das farbenprächtige Teuil- la-Fest mit Langbootrennen, Tänzen und Gesängen statt.

Seawalls in Samoa: A Look at Their Environmental, Social and Economic Implications Sawyer Lawson Project Advisor: Espen Ronneberg Academic Director: Jackie Fa’asisila S.I.T. Samoa, Spring 2011 Abstract: This study concerns the environmental, economic and social implications of seawalls in Samoa. Information for this study was gathered using a combination of secondary sources and primary sources including interviews, surveys and participant observation. Given the cultural and economic importance of Samoa’s coastline and the fact that seawalls, which already occupy much of Samoa’s coast, are becoming more abundant, it is important to understand the implications of building them. The researcher found that partially due to climate change and sand mining, Samoa’s coastline has become increasingly threatened by erosion and coastal retreat.

  • Aleipata Itupa I Luga District Interventions
    Community Integrated Management Plan Aleipata-Itupa I Luga - Upolu Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.
