  • Mangroves Occurring on the Many Islands in the South Pacific Are Only a Small Component When Compared to the Worldwide Inventory of Mangroves
    TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT AND SUPPORT FOR MANGROVE AND LITTORAL FOREST MANAGEMENT, PLANNING AND TRAINING FOR SMALL ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC Jan. 25, 2004 by James Denny Ward USDA Forest Service i FOREWORD Mangroves occurring on the many islands in the South Pacific are only a small component when compared to the worldwide inventory of mangroves. Although the mangroves found on the smaller islands may not seem as important on the global scale, they are extremely important to the small individual countries. Some of their benefits include shoreline protection, biodiversity, fisheries and a source for traditional products like building material, fuelwood and various cultural uses. These benefits are even more important to small island countries with limited resources and contributed to the survival of the indigenous people in earlier times. Realizing the importance of the mangrove resource the Forest & Trees Support Programme of SPC and the Heads of Forestry in the Pacific in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service conducted several missions during the last 10 years to assist the smaller island countries with preserving, protecting and managing their mangroves . The USDA Forest Service’s Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry based in Hawaii has been providing assistance to the Federated States of Micronesia and other islands with close ties to the United States for several years. Research conducted by this group has contributed greatly to the information base needed to manage mangroves throughout the South Pacific. This report is not all-inclusive but it is hoped that it will contain sufficient information to assist small islands in developing a management strategy for their individual countries.

  • Micronesian Art Historical Research and Library Collection Resources in Micronesia
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 377 132 SO 024 616 AUTHOR Haynes, Douglas TITLE Micronesian Art Historical Research and Library Collection Resources in Micronesia. PUB DATE Nov 91 NOTE 9p.; Paper presented to the Art Education Delegation Exchange (Beijing, China, November 1991). PUB TYPE Reference Materials General (130) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Architecture; Archives; *Art History; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; *Library Collections; *Non Western Civilization IDENTIFIERS Micronesia ABSTRACT This paper briefly describes the geographic region and some indigenous artifacts of Micronesia. The state of art historical research in the area and currently available library resources are discussed. Micronesia is comprised of seven island nations peopled by distinctly unique cultural groups. Study of Micronesian art and architecture is relatively recent. Early work was done by German, then Japanese, expeditions. More recently, Americans, as well as European and Japanese researchers, have studied the art and cultures of Micronesia. Among art forms studied are latte stones, dating from 1000 A.D. to 1668 A.D. These were hand smoothed and fitted limestone columns and capstones used to construct A-frame houses for the Chamorros, a people of the Mariana Islands group. The bai, a communal village house of Palau, is decorated with sculpture:, expressing a complex iconography of mythological symbolism. Another architectural accomplishment of Micronesians are the stone cities of Pohnpei and Kosrae, dating from the 8th-9th centuries to 1830. The largest collection of Micronesian art history materials available in the islands is the collection at the University of Guam (Mangilao). Other collections are located in the Pal=su National Museum Library in Koror, Palau; the Community College of Micronesia Pacific Collection in Kolonia, Pohnpei; The Nieves Flores Public Library in Agana, Guam; and the Federated States of Micronesia National Archives in Palikir, Pohnpe.

Box 8255, MOU-3, Dededo, Guam 96912, USA and Department of Zoology, Ohio State University, 1735 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210, USA. [email protected]. DONALD W. BUDEN College of Micronesia, Division of Mathematics and Science, P.O. Box 159, Palikir, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia 96941 Abstract—We studied populations of the green tree skink, Lamprolepis smaragdina, at three main sites in Micronesia: Pohnpei (Federated States of Micronesia, FSM) and Saipan and Tinian (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, CNMI). We also surveyed Rota (CNMI), where the skink has not been recorded in previous surveys, to verify its absence. Our main goal was to describe some basic biology traits at these sites. Observations were carried out between 1993 and 1998. We used focal animal observations and visual surveys to describe the relative abundance, elevational distribution, behavior (perch choice, foraging behavior, activity time), and coloration of the species at each of the three sites. This information was then used to compare these populations in order to assess the origin of the CNMI populations. As expected, we found no green tree skink on Rota. We found few differences among the three populations we did locate, Pohnpei, Tinian, and Saipan. Perch diameters and body orientations were similar between the three sites, as were population densities and foraging behaviors. However, Tinian’s lizards perched lower than those of Pohnpei or Saipan, probably due to the smaller trees available to them.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is working with the RMI Government and other key international actors to identify the support required for the drought response and early recovery. Assistance being provided by IFRC is in partnership with New Zealand Red Cross, Kiribati Red Cross Society and Australian Red Cross.

Photo Cred: IFRC here for detailed contact information> Summary Due to an extended dry period, the RMI Government declared a state of emergency for the northern areas of the RMI on 19 April 2013, which was followed by a declaration of a state of disaster on 8 May for 13 atolls/islands. The disaster assessments undertaken have identified that the communities in these northern atolls/islands are being severely affected by the drought and face potential health, environmental, social and economic hardship, due to the persistent dry weather. The most pressing humanitarian needs are access to safe water and the growing need for food due to local crop failure. Villages have had to ration water to preserve supplies, and the number of affected atolls/islands has since increased from 13 to 15.

(1996) used information from the FFA fisheries profiles (Smith 1992) and from a nutritional survey in 1990 (Anon. 1991) to estimate coastal commercial fisheries production for the early 1990s of 369 mt (worth US$714,504) and subsistence production of 2,000 mt (worth US$3,103,213). 116 Fisheries in the Economies of Pacific Island Countries and Territories • Gillett and Lightfoot (2001) considered the Dalzell estimate and seven other sources of information and then proposed coastal commercial fisheries production for the late 1990s of 444 mt (worth US$973,000) and subsistence production of 2,800 mt (worth US$3,836,000). • Gillett (2009) considered the above two estimates as well as the fol- lowing more recent information: (a) Information on the purchases of fish in the outer islands by Marshall Islands Marine Resource Author- ity (MIMRA), (b) The 2002 HIES, (c) OFCF fishery surveys, and (d) Data on the exports of products from coastal commercial fisheries. The study estimated that commercial fisheries production in Marshall Islands in the mid-2000s was about 950 mt, worth US$2.9 million.

  • Cultural and Socioeconomic Determinants of Energy
    Natural Resources Forum 38 (2014) 27–46 DOI: 10.1111/1477-8947.12030 Cultural and socio-economic determinants of energy consumption on small remote islands Manfred Lenzen, Murukesan Krishnapillai, Deveraux Talagi, Jodie Quintal, Denise Quintal, Ron Grant, Simpson Abraham, Cindy Ehmes and Joy Murray Abstract In this cross-country analysis of four small and remote islands, we integrate multiple dimensions of socio-economic demographic data, such as population, land area, remoteness, tourist arrivals and earnings, export earnings, financial support, average incomes, fuel and electricity prices, penetration of renewable energy sources, and motor vehicle usage; we compare these characteristics with per capita use of energy carriers such as electricity, petrol and diesel. From these characteristics, we identify key determinants of energy consumption in the islands. Whereas we focus on energy, our analysis also applies to emissions of carbon and energy-related pollutants. Our results indicate that cultural and social contexts are at least as relevant for policymaking as economic and technological aspects. We suggest that in small island developing States there is scope for policymaking to at the same time: reduce economic vulnerability due to dependence on imported fossil fuels; reduce environmental impact; and progress sustainable development. Such progress can be implemented through peer-to-peer learning programmes facilitated by targeted international cooperation and partnerships.
