Both students and teachers, including some USP staff, walked away with the SAFT’s brochures along with MoA’s brochures for raising simple vegetable plots at home. The highlights, as usual, were our animals. Pigs were brought from Koronivia Livestock Research Station while the Fiji Fantastic Sheep were transported all the way from Nawaicoba Quarantine Station in Nadi. Secondary school stu- dents were fascinated with these animals and were keen to interact with and know more about them. The 2016 USP Open Day saw the School of Agriculture and Food Technology evolved from a two table booth, usually put alongside one of the major FBE Schools, to a 40 by 30 feet space that required two marquees. People talked posi- tively about SAFT’s presence at Laucala, praising the effort that was put towards this year’s open day. SAFT at Laucala plans to go bigger and better next year and introduce some very engaging activities that will involve stu- dents while at the same time attract their interests towards agriculture. Plans have started for next year Open Day, to include the rest of major employers both in the government and private sectors. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes to Director Crop Ex- tension (Mr. Jone Sovalawa), Director Crop Extension (Dr. Apaitia Macanawai), Director Animal Health and Production (Mr. Tomasi Tunabuna), Deputy Secretary Agriculture Devel- opment (Mr. Uraia Waibuta) and respective MoA staff who contributed towards our Open Day booth, especially those staff who spent the whole day with SAFT presentations. SAFT at Laucala also wants to thank the strong leadership and support of SAFT’s Head of School and every SAFT mem- ber that has been supporting them. South Pacific Agricultural News Jul 2016 3 USP Labasa Campus Open Day he USP Labasa Campus Open Day was held on the 29th of July 2016 at the Macuata Judicial Grounds in Labasa. The Open Day was graced with the presence of 25 sec- T ondary schools from the three provinces in the northern division of Fiji. Secondary schools from as far as Savusavu, Bua and Udu Point participated at this annual event with the total student numbers estimated to be in excess of 2,200. The distant schools were pri- oritised for the morning session of activities. The School of Agriculture and Food Technology (SAFT) was well represented under the Fac- ulty of Business and Economics. Student information sharing sessions together with poster and video presentations and competitions were the highlights of the SAFT booth with stu- dents being enlightened on the numerous and diverse career opportunities that exist within the scope of the programmes offered by the school. Students were also briefed about the eli- gibility and subject combinations that are required for entry into SAFT programmes. Alternative pathways of entry into SAFT programmes were also highlighted. In addition, the presence of SAFT staff at Laucala campus and the support services provided by them at other local campuses was emphasised on. Other ar- eas of deliberations included the modes of delivery of various courses, the practical components and the flexi schools. The day’s activities concluded with a debriefing session with the Labasa Campus Director at the campus.

South Pacific Agricultural News Jul 2016 4 Tafuana 1st Ward Youth Visit to SAFT and IRETA he Tafuna Youth from American Samoa visited the School of Agriculture and Food Technology (SAFT) and the Institute for Research, Extension and Training T in Agriculture (IRETA) Farm on the 13th of July 2016. The Tafuna Youth, between 12 to 17 years of age from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was lead by David Crichton, first Counselor to the Bishop with other leaders of the Youth. The Youth came to Samoa on a trip to the LDS Temple for one week and decided to visit and see for themselves what is happening at the School of Agriculture. They were welcomed by Mr. Daya Perera, Senior Technician of the Soil Laboratory and Ms Dolly Autufuga of IRETA. They watched a short video clip about what SAFT is all about and then visited SAFT and IRETA facilities after the morning breakfast provided by the school. The young teenagers were amazed at the facilities and opportunities available in the school. They learned about Soils and different activities that are carried out in the Soil laboratory. They were extremely excited when they visited the farm. It was the first time for most of them to see sheep and goats as well chickens that are kept solely for the purpose of egg production. They observed egg grading and other activities at the farm. David Crichton and leaders of the Youth gave their thanks to the School of Agri- culture especially to the Head of SAFT for the opportunity to come and visit. According the Mr. Crichton, it was a trip they will never forget. South Pacific Agricultural News Jul 2016 5 USP and MNRE staff survey on soil conservation and land management project on “Strengthening Multi-Sectoral Management of Critical A Landscapes (SMSMCL)” is currently being implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) here in Samoa. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen and increase the capacities of the different national land development sectors to work together in a more integrated and coherent way at addressing the land degradation and soil conservation issues of the country, and de- veloping the means to achieve the culture of sustainable land man- agement practices both at the macro and national level of land man- Taro plantation at Aleisa agement policy and planning processes and at micro or local grass- roots level of land use technologies and practices. The consultancy services of The University of the South Pacific have been selected to lead the development of this manual and of how the manual will accompany and support local farmers’ sustainable land agriculture practices in the project target villages. USP and MNRE staff project interviewed farmers randomly and collected soil samples Chinese cabbages at Tanumalala from Upolu, Manono tai and Apolima tai on 26th – 29th of July 2016. On the 26th and the 27th, the project team went around Upolu and on the first day, the most common crops seen were breadfruit, taro, mango, cocoa and banana from Alafua to Leulumoega. A lot of taro plots, coconut and cocoa plantations were observed from Leulumoega Mixed cropping (vegetables) at to Lefaga. A huge taro plantation was seen at Aleisa east as well as Afiamalu cocoa, banana and coffee plantations along the way. On Day 2, huge plots of nonu plantations were seen at Siumu village where it is grown as cash crop. The main crops seem to repeat from the villages of Sagafou to Lotofaga. Lepa has a huge coconut plantation and going inland there was a vanilla plantation. Coastal area started from Lepa to Saleaumua. On one side is the sea and the other side is the cliff.

We took an affectionate leave of my dear wife & children with Mr & Mrs B[uzacott] who accompanied me down to the beach as did most of the inhabitants all uniting in wishing us well & praying that the blessing of God might attend us in our journey. The King Makea appeared in good spirits. His friends & people expressed considerable sorrow at his departure. The teacher Teava 1 & wife wept a good deal at leaving. It is a source of great consolation to know that we are followed by the affectionate sympathies of those who love us & the fervent prayers of all who are interested in our welfare. At Sundown we made all sail with a fine fair wind & set a direct course for Palmerstons Island. Sat 13. We made Palmerstons Island about 5 oclock in the afternoon. The wind being fair & night coming on determined to pursue our course rather than waste the night in lying to to procure a few cocoa nutts. The Teacher & his wife very sick. Sabbath 14.

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.

  • Geological Subsidence and Sinking Islands: The
    1 Symposium for W. Dickinson – SAA 2015 “Geological subsidence and sinking Islands: the case of Manono (Samoa)” Christophe Sand1, Jacques Bolé1, David Baret1, André-John Ouetcho1, Fiona Petchey2, Alan Hogg2 Tautala Asaua3 Abstract W. Dickinson, as part of his wide study of the geological history of the Pacific islands, has proposed in a series of papers to explainlinked the unique case of the deeply submerged Lapita site of Mulifanua in Western Upolu (Samoa), as linked to the slow subsidence of Upolu Island. Recent archaeological research on the neighbouring small island of Manono, has brought new and detailed data on this geological process. A series of new dates has allowed us to define chronologically the speed of the subsidence and demonstrateas well as the massive environmental changes that the local population had to adapt to over the past 2500 years. 1. Institute of Archaeology of New Caledonia and the Pacific (IANCP) 2. Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory, University of Waikato 3. Center for Samoan Studies, National University of Samoa 2 Introduction The geological diversity of the Pacific region defies any simple categorization. The region is, divided between different tectonic plates and, cut in two on its western side by the active “belt of fire”, with iIslands ranking being derived from continental fragments to old eroding or still active volcanic summits to simple coral aAtolls, defies any simple categorization. Volcanic activity, earthquakes and possible tsunami-related events, associated to episodes of extreme weather devastation through cyclones/typhoons or prolonged droughts make Oceania a region that often defies the idyllic image built by Western imagination.
