  • The Effects of the Cyclones of 1983 on the Atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia)
    THE EFFECTS OF THE CYCLONES OF 1983 ON THE ATOLLS OF THE TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO (FRENCH POLYNESIA) J. F. DUPON ORSTOM (French Institute ofScientific Research for Development through cooperation), 213 Rue Lafayette - 75480 Paris Cedex 10, France Abstract. In the TUAMOTU Archipelago, tropical cyclones may contribute to the destruction as well as to some building up of the atolls. The initial occupation by the Polynesians has not increased the vulnerability of these islands as much as have various recent alterations caused by European influence and the low frequency of the cyclone hazard itself. An unusual series of five cyclones, probably related to the general thermic imbalance of the Pacific Ocean between the tropics struck the group in 1983 and demonstrated this vulnerability through the damage that they caused to the environment and to the plantations and settle­ ments. However, the natural rehabilitation has been faster than expected and the cyclones had a beneficial result in making obvious the need to reinforce prevention measures and the protection of human settle­ ments. An appraisal of how the lack of prevention measures worsened the damage is first attempted, then the rehabilitation and the various steps taken to forestall such damage are described. I. About Atolls and Cyclones: Some General Information Among the islands of the intertropical area of the Pacific Ocean, most of the low-lying lands are atolls. The greatest number of them are found in this part of the world. Most atolls are characterized by a circular string of narrow islets rising only 3 to 10 m above the average ocean level.

À Monsieur Édouard FRITCH Président de la Polynésie française Objet : Usucapion par le C.A.MI.CA des îlots de TEMATAGI, VANAVANA, MARIA, MATURAI-VAVAO, VAHANGA, TENARARO et TENANT A ou TENARUNGA En 1836, Edward RUSSELL, un lord et officier de la marine britannique décide de baptiser les îles qu’il observe alors depuis son navire militaire. Ces quatre îlots situés dans l’archipel des Tuamotu à 245 km de l’archipel des Gambier porteront, par le fait du prince, le nom de son navire, l’Actéon. Ainsi ces îles seront désormais connues sous le nom de groupe Actéon ou îles du groupe Actéon. Les premiers occupants de ces terres n’ont pas attendu le passage furtif de M. RUSSELL pour nommer ces quatre îlots qui portent en réalité depuis des temps immémoriaux les noms de TENARARO, TENARUNGA ou TENANT A, VAHANGA et MATURAI-VAVAO. Ces toponymes pau ’motu conservés dans la langue de leurs occupants originels sont la preuve irréfutable que ces terres sont originellement la propriété exclusive du peuple Pau ’motu premier occupant de cet archipel. A cet égard, il convient de rappeler, et ce n’est que leur rendre justice, que ce sont les mêmes descendants du peuple Pau ’motu, qui plantèrent et exploitèrent lesdits motu, sous la férule du père VALLONS dans la seconde moitié du XXerae siècle.

The lagoon of an atoll is separated from the ocean by a rim. As the rim controls the flux of water between ocean and lagoon, its structure is one of the major forcing factors of the biological processes that depend on the renewal rate of lagoonal water. Characterizing rim structure and its degree of hydro­ dynamic aperture is mandatory for comparing the functioning of different atoll lagoons. This paper characterizes at landscape scale the different types of rims of the atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia) using SPOT HRV multi-spectral images. The classification of 117 segments of rims highlights nine different rims.

Current statusof the endangeredTuamotu Sandpiper or Titi Prosobonia cancellataand recommendedactions for its recovery.Wader StudyGroup Bull. 105: 93-100. The TuamotuSandpiper or Titi is the only survivingmember of the Tribe Prosoboniiniand is confinedto easternPolynesia. Formerly distributedthroughout the Tuamotu Archipelago,it has been decimatedby mammalianpredators which now occuron nearlyall atollsof the archipelago.Isolated sandpiper populations are currentlyknown from only four uninhabitedatolls in the Tuamotu.Only two of theseare currentlyfree of mammalianpredators, such as cats and rats, and the risks of rat invasionon themare high. This paper outlines tasksnecessary in the shortterm (within five years)to securethe species,together with longerterm actions neededfor its recovery.Short-term actions include increasing the securityof existingpopulations, surveying for otherpotential populations, eradicating mammalian predators on key atolls,monitoring key populations, and preparing a recovery plan for the species. Longer term actions necessaryfor recovery include reintroductions,advocacy and research programmes. INTRODUCTION ecologyof the TuamotuSandpiper as completelyas is cur- rently known, assessesthe

Après avoir brièvement défini les caractères physiques et humains de l'!le située préalablement dans son contexte géographique, nous exposerons les caractères essentiels du régime foncier et donnerons un premier aperçu de la répartition des revenus du coprah entre les différents ayants-droit, nous réservant de pousser plus loin l'ana­ lyse à l'issue d'une seconde mission qui doit intervenir au cours du premier trimestre 1977 (1). L'ISOLEMENT GEOGRAPHIQUE ET SES CONSEQUENCES Située à quelques 1200 km de PAPEETE et à 180 km environ des atolls habités les plus proches, VAHITAHI et PUKA-PUKA, TATAKOTO est sans doute une des tles les plus isolées des TUAMOTU et de POLY­ NESlE. Si les touchées par goélettes (2) sont relativement nombreuses - 15 entre le 1er janvier et le 10 décembre 1976 - les liaisons maritimes n'en demeurent pas moins longues 1 il faut en moyenne huit à quinze Jours de mer pour gagner PAPEETE, une semaine environ si on a la possibilité de transiter par l'aéroport militaire de HAO.

Seabirds of the Gambier Archipelago, French Polynesia in 2010. Marine Ornithology 41: 7–12. We visited the Gambier Archipelago in April 2010, and noted the presence of 15 species of seabirds. An additional species was noted in 2008 and 2011 during a visit by members of our team. The species and breeding populations are significant for the French Polynesian region, including nesting Polynesian Storm-Petrel Nesofregetta fuliginosa, listed as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We noted nesting by 11 species, including confirmation of the presence of breeding Red-footed Booby Sula sula, previously noted in 2008. The islands in the south of the archipelago were the main focus for our study, as they had been proposed as sites for island restoration through removal of introduced mammal species. These were Manui, Kamaka, Makaroa and the tiny islet of Motu Teiku. These sites held the richest and most numerous populations of seabirds in the archipelago, and, as they are very near to one another and relatively inaccessible due to difficult landing conditions, they presented the best opportunities to safeguard the important large seabird populations of the south of the French Polynesian Region.
