Hydrocarbon Resource Studies in the Southwest Pacific, 1982 Hydrocarbon Resource Studies in the Southwest Pacific, 1982 By H. Gary Greene, Florence L. Wong, and the scientific staff of the 1982 CCOP/SOPAC cruise GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN-FILE REPORT 83-293 Prepared in cooperation with the governments of Australia and New Zealand, the United Nations Committee for the Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in South Pacific Offshore Areas, and the Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources Second printing 1983 PREFACE This report summarizes the investigation conducted aboard the U.S. Geological Survey's Re- search Vessel S.P. Lee in 1982 under the terms of an agreement between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States (ANZUS Tripartite Agreement) in association with the United Nations Corn- mittee for the Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mine] 'al Resources in South Pacific Offshore Areas. Data collected on the cruise were first presented at he S.P. Lee postcruise meeting in Hon- olulu, Hawaii on August 19 and 20, 1982, and further discussed at a meeting cosponsored by theie U.S. Geological Survey and the Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources, a section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, in Menlo Par i, California, on April 5, 1983.

Today as the apartheid butchers shoot down black people, in the words of black bishop Desmond Tutu, as if they were "swatting flies", the black masses of South Africa are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the kind of "nonviolent negotiated solution" preached by the Tutus is impossible - apartheid must be overthrown. The massive anti-apartheid up­ heaval poses pointblank the question of power: Who shall rule?

The Compact would set up economic assistance for Belau and give the U.S. military use of Belau. As readers know, Belau has the world's first nuclear free constitution which requires 75% of the people to amend the nuclear provisions. The governments of Belau and the United States, as well as the United Nations all stated that the Compact was valid with 51%. They were challenged bX several leading Belauans (see other articles "Belau leaders say Compact not ratified' and "Congressional hearing and lawsuit focus on Belau") and a court case was heard in Belau on July 1, 1986.

    Up to a few decades ago, many people in the world took the environment for granted. Forests, rivers, mines, the sea or the atmosphere, seemed to be infinite or at least too big to notice any impact due to human activities. This perception started to change in the second half of the twenty century, forests were despairingly, deserts were increasing, petroleum reserves will meet demand for just a few more decades, water is becoming a scarce commodity in many parts of the world and the climate is changing all over the world. The deterioration of the environment is probably acknowledged by most people in the world and there has been considerable work in trying to reduce environmental problems. Massive reforestation programs are in place in many countries, ozone destroying chemicals are being replaced, cleaner productions methods have been implemented in many industries and many countries have environmental education courses in their schools. As important as all these progams might be, they are usually oriented to deal with the environmental damages, that is with the consequence. They are what we might call: impact reduction strategies; but very often they overlook the causes and if we do not deal with the causes, the consequence are always going to be coming. How can we stop climate change or mining pollution impacts, if the world economic system, accepted by all countries in the world, promotes the consumption of oil and minerals, particularly now with all the global agreements in trade and investment? What must be clearly understood is that the deterioration of the environment is the logical consequence of the economic system whose main objective is to generate and increase wealth for those who already have wealth.

Certainly it was one of the first, and by combining a philosophical base, clear strategic design, scientific research, political and legal research and lobbying, courageous direct action, and brilliant use of media attention, it has made tremendous gains both for the organisation itself and for the environment it has sought to protect. The central philosophy of that original “Greenpeace” organisation was nonviolent direct action on behalf of the planet earth. It was an inspiring concept, and it created a movement. Greenpeace has earned a unique role in the international environmental movement due to its willingness to take direct action and its refusal to compromise on the issue of critical environmental import. Greenpeace works on issues of global importance; yet, unlike more mainstream nature and wildlife conservation groups, it uses confrontational tactics to change corporate and government behaviour. Greenpeace is not a local membership group, although its toxics, energy, and genetic engineering campaigns increasingly work at the grassroots level to enhance environmental activism in communities worldwide.
