    er Building Provincial‐level Integrated Coastal Management Plans: Outcomes from the Vatu‐i‐Ra Seascape Stakeholders Workshop Stacy Jupiter, Margaret Fox, Akuila Cakacaka, Akanisi Caginitoba, Natalie Askew, Ingrid Qauqau, Rebecca Weeks, Sunil Prasad This work was supported by a grant to the Wildlife Conservation Society from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (#10‐94985‐000‐GSS) © 2012 Wildlife Conservation Society This document to be cited as: Jupiter S, Fox M, Cakacaka A, Caginitoba A, Askew N, Qauqau I, Weeks R, Prasad S(2012) Building Provincial‐level Integrated Coastal Management Plans: Outcomes from the Vatu‐i‐Ra Seascape Stakeholders Workshop. Wildlife Conservation Society, Suva, Fiji, 46 pp. Executive Summary Between September 8‐9, 2011, representatives from the four provinces which join together to form the Vatu‐i‐Ra Seascape (Lomaiviti, Tailevu, Ra, Bua) met together with partners from government and non‐government organizations at the Centre for Appropriate Technology & Development at Nadave to discuss the foundations for building provincial level integrated coastal management (ICM) plans. This work builds on the outputs from the September 2010 national Protected Area Committee workshop with provincial administrators where representatives from each province identified candidate sites for protection and management with the main goal to evaluate how new management initiatives fit within the Fiji Integrated Coastal Management Framework recently developed by the Department of Environment. This report provides an overview of the presentations made to guide thinking on the range of possible threats and management actions within the coastal zone of the Vatu‐i‐Ra Seascape. We focused specifically on three thematic areas of the ICM framework: Living Coastal Resource Utilization; Land‐Based Activities; and Coastal/Eco‐tourism Development.

  • Section 5 Tongan Colonization of Fiji
    SECTION 5. TONGAN COLONIZATION IN FIJI. Colonies of Tongans settled in Fiji from very early times. The evidence seems to suggest that this 'colonization' took place for a number of different reasons. In the first instance it seems that colonies of Tongans established themselves in Fiji for economic reasons. Tonga lacked timber necessary for boat building, and timber for this purpose was to be found in abundance in Fiji. Fiji also produced sandalwood, a ‘cosmetic’ coveted by Tongans for the preparation of scented oils. The evidence seems to suggest that Tongan visits to Fiji, and the setting up of colonies of Tongans in Fiji, were motivated by the desire to obtain sandalwood and to build large sailing canoes. By the 1830's however, another powerful motive for Tongan interest in Fiji emerged. The 1830's in Tonga saw what has been called a great religious ‘Revival’. This revival swept the land and stimulated a missionary fervour that led many Tongan converts to offer to take the gospel to other Pacific territories, notably Samoa and Fiji. So it was that missionaries, Tongan missionaries, were sent out to Fiji. Of these Tongan missionaries, Sioeli Pulu, stands out above all others. His ‘Autobiography’, translated and published in 1871 by one of the English missionaries, is an important source on information on this aspect of the contact between Tonga and Fiji. Economic and Religious factors had played their part in drawing Tongans to Fiji. It was a political factor however that was undoubtedly the most significant stimulus to colonization. By the 1840's the large Tongan population in Fiji was causing concern to some sectors of the Fiji community.

  • Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group
    Archaeological History of a Fijian Island: Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group MARÍA Cruz BErrocal, Antonio UriartE GONZÁLEZ, SIDSEL MILLErstrom, SUSANA CONSUEGRA RODRÍGUEZ, Juana PÉREZ-ARIAS, AND Santiago ORMEÑO introduction In 2007, we started a project to record rock art in Fiji (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013; Millerstrom and Cruz Berrocal 2009, 2010), focusing in 2008 on a site called Vatu Vola that had been discovered in 2006 in the Naisogorourou area on Moturiki ( pers. comm. Jone Balenaivalu, 13 September 2007). We designed our fieldwork there as a selective survey to understand the mechanisms of landscape construction associated with the making of rock art on small islands. The survey and further archaeological explorations of Moturiki rendered significant data and raised research questions presented in this article (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013). Moturiki is one of the islands in the Lomaiviti group in central Fiji. The island’s surface is 1473 ha, including 1130 ha of mainland and 343 ha of mangrove (calcula- tions based on the cartographic base listed below). It is a volcanic outlier of Ovalau (Fig. 1). As a high island with maximum altitudes around 120 m (116 m according to the Digital Terrain Model of the island; source GDEM, below), it has a diversified landscape and, especially in the south, the topography is remarkable (Fig. 2). This set- ting provides different landscape contexts for archaeological inquiry. In addition, Mo- turiki has one of the oldest Lapita settlements (including a burial) found so far in Fiji ( Nunn et al. 2007), thus one of a limited number of sites with Lapita remains that can be analyzed ( Petchey et al.

  • The Sacred and Cultural Maritime Sites of Fiji-An Inventory in the Making
    The Sacred and Cultural Maritime Sites of Fiji-An Inventory in the Making Elia Nakoro Archaeology Department The Fiji Museum Thurston Gardens Suva, Fiji Email: [email protected] Abstract The Fiji Museum Archaeology Department, since 2015, has begun inventorying the different underwater and maritime sites in Fiji. Ratification of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage and review of the legislation on the Preservation of Objects of Archaeological and Palaeontological Interest Act (Chapter 264) has had little fruition due to limitations in manpower and resources. The Fiji Museum has however taken first steps towards realizing the amendment of the legislation by developing and drafting an overarching policy for the institution. The Fiji Museum continues to deliberate on the draft policy encompassing all aspects of its services, which includes underwater and maritime cultural heritage sites, to ensure that Fiji’s cultural heritage is protected. This paper will elaborate on the different types of underwater/maritime cultural heritage sites in Fiji and the inventory process of documenting and creating a database, including challenges and opportunities. It will highlight the importance of the database in assisting the Fiji Museum in its work to raise awareness and provide advice to Government and relevant authorities in the respect, preservation and protection of these submerged historical treasures. The paper will also highlight the various agencies with common goals to protect underwater cultural sites and discuss the importance of inter- agency collaboration. Key words: Cultural heritage, maritime, preservation, and protection Introduction The Fiji Islands The island nation of Fiji encompasses over 300 volcanic islands.
