  • Insights and Regrets of a Foreign Geoscientist in the Pacific Islands
    geosciences Article O cei na Vulavula? Insights and Regrets of a Foreign Geoscientist in the Pacific Islands Patrick D. Nunn School of Law and Society, Australian Centre for Pacific Islands Research, University of the Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore, QLD 4558, Australia; [email protected] Abstract: From over three decades of close contact with Pacific Islands geoscience, the author reflects on key issues (what he wished he had known earlier) about the nature of islands, their landscapes and their peoples. Experience elsewhere in the world rarely prepares you for the Pacific, from its youthful and often tectonically unstable landscapes to the understandings of its inhabitants, which are sometimes time-consuming and difficult to access yet frequently illuminating. Mysteries abound in Pacific geoscience, often in places as difficult to access as they ever were, yet which have the potential to inform global ideas about earth-surface evolution. Geoscience research and enterprise remain largely foreigner-driven in the Pacific Islands, which is often anathemic to sustainability, privileging ideas that are uncritically assumed to be shared by their peoples. An opportunity exists for Pacific peoples to own the geoscientific knowledge and potential of their islands.

Wildlife Conservation Society/University of the South Pacific/Fiji Department of Fisheries/Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, Suva, Fiji, 22 pp. Executive Summary This report details findings from a 24 day survey of sea cucumber resources and the status of the fishery from 10 islands (Cicia, Fulaga, Kabara, Mago, Matuku, Moala, Totoya, Tuvuca, Vanua Vatu, Vanuabalavu) in Lau Province, Fiji. The surveys were conducted by staff from the Fiji Department of Fisheries, the Institute of Applied Sciences and the Wildlife Conservation Society as part of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation Global Reef Expedition between June 2 and 27, 2013. Direct in-water resource assessments were carried out using standardized protocols developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) Regional Fisheries Observatory program. These data were combined with fisher perception surveys, measurements of dried bêche-de-mer processed in villages, and general observations from community discussions to assess the overall status of the fishery. Within species densities of commercially important sea cucumber species across individual islands surveyed ranged from 0 – 132.81 individuals ha-1. Densities were below SPC regional indicator values for all species except for Pearsonothuria graeffei (flowerfish).

  • The Genus Phanerostethus in Fiji (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) Byelwoodc.Nmmerman
    OOOASIONAL PAPERS OF BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU, HAWAII Volume XIV March 1, 1939 Number 17 The Genus Phanerostethus in Fiji (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) ByELWOODC.nMMERMAN The cryptorhynchine genus Phanerostethus was erected by Sir Guy A. K. Marshall in 1931 [Insects of Samoa, 4 (5) : 285] for the recep­ tion of a new species from Samoa. I recently described two new species from the Society Islands [B. P. Bishop Mus., Occ. Papers, 12 (23),1936]. In this paper I describe two new species from Fiji, the fourth and fifth known species of the genus. Knowledge of the exist­ ence of this genus in Fiji is important to discussions of zoogeography in Oceania, for it makes one more link in the chain of distribution of Pacific insects. The genus may be characterized briefly as follows: funicle of the antennae seven-segmented, the first two segments elongate; base of the pronotum higher than the apex and with the dorsal contours of the elytra and pronotum rather abruptly discontinuous at their point of junction; scutellum distinct, though small; elytra subtruncate at the base and there not broader than the base of the prothorax; without humeral calli; wings not functional; legs with the femora edentate; the pectoral channel squamose and the mesosternal receptacle with high side walls but open behind; ventrites all free, the sutures between them all distinct; body densely squamose both above and below. KEY TO THE FIJIAN SPECIES 1. Ground color of the dorsal scaling black, with only a few patches of pale scales; prothorax about as long as broad; second elytral interval with only a double row of setae and without distinct fascicles.......

Box 1168, Suva, Republic of Fiji and HITOSHI KASAHARA Shizuoka-ken Kama-gun, Matsuzaki-cha Sakurada 47, 410-36 Japan Abstract-A preliminary checklist of 314 taxa of benthic marine algae is provided for the Fiji Islands, South Pacific, comprising 11 Cyano­ phyceae, 99 Chlorophyceae, 36 Phaeophyceae and 168 Rhodophyceae. Included are all previously published records, with the systematic ar­ rangement and nomenclature brought up to date. The flora is relatively poorly known, and many areas have yet to be phycologically studied, such as Rotuma, much of the Lau Group, most of Vanua Levu and Kandavu. Introduction The Fiji Islands occupy a central position in Oceania, spanning the 180th meridian and lying between 177 E and 178 W, and 16 to 20 S (Fig. 1 ). A land of area of some 18,276 sq. km is scattered over 332 islands, occupying 260,000 sq km of ocean (Fig. 1). There are four main islands in the group, Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Kadavu, and three smaller island groups, the Yasawas, the Lomaiviti Group and the Lau Group. The small island ofRotuma is isolated from the rest of the Fiji group, some 300 km north of Viti Levu. Most of the islands are high islands of volcanic origin, although some low atolls are found in the east in the Lau Group. The islands are surrounded by barrier reefs, and there are many patch reefs throughout; the most significant barrier reef is the Great Astrolabe Reef, which occurs around the Kadavu Islands.

  • Biophysically Special, Unique Marine Areas of FIJI © Stuart Chape
    BIOPHYSICALLY SPECIAL, UNIQUE MARINE AREAS OF FIJI © Stuart Chape BIOPHYSICALLY SPECIAL, UNIQUE MARINE AREAS OF FIJI EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT Marine and coastal ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean provide benefits for all people in and beyond the region. To better understand and improve the effective management of these values on the ground, Pacific Island Countries are increasingly building institutional and personal capacities for Blue Planning. But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, when learning from experiences of centuries of traditional management in Pacific Island Countries. Coupled with scientific approaches these experiences can strengthen effective management of the region’s rich natural capital, if lessons learnt are shared. The MACBIO project collaborates with national and regional stakeholders towards documenting effective approaches to sustainable marine resource management and conservation. The project encourages and supports stakeholders to share tried and tested concepts and instruments more widely throughout partner countries and the Oceania region. This report outlines the process undertaken to define and describe the special, unique marine areas of Fiji. These special, unique marine areas provide an important input to decisions about, for example, permits, licences, EIAs and where to place different types of marine protected areas, Locally-Managed Marine Area and tabu sites in Fiji.
