  • Insights from the Remote Phoenix Islands Protected Area by Lillian
    Governing Large Marine Protected Areas: Insights from the Remote Phoenix Islands Protected Area by Lillian Mitchell A thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Lillian Mitchell, May, 2017 ABSTRACT Governing Large Marine Protected Areas: Insights from the Remote Phoenix Islands Protected Area Lillian Mitchell Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. Noella Gray Scholars and practitioners have increasingly identified large marine protected areas (LMPAs) as an effective means of protecting marine life. But despite this recognition, some scientists argue that the political emphasis of LMPAs is undermining the ecological value of these sites and leading to poor social justice outcomes. In attendance to these discourses, this research explores the decision-making processes of LMPAs through a case study analysis of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA). In the summer of 2016 I conducted participant observation, document analysis and interviewed 48 actors about PIPA’s governance structure and its outcomes. Through this process, key themes regarding sovereignty, use of science in decision-making, the role of non-state actors, and communication of benefits emerged. Findings indicate that although PIPA is a remote, uninhabited area, even in remote spaces it is important to consider social benefits. As such, this case signals LMPAs are not the low-hanging fruit of conservation. Keywords: large marine protected areas, Kiribati, Phoenix Islands, oceans governance, sovereignty, benefits, conservation. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My first acknowledgement is duly dedicated to the people who took part in this study. These next 100+ pages are filled with their thoughts, struggles and feelings and as such this thesis would not exist without their willingness to share their experiences and knowledge with me.

  • Songs Cannot Die”: Ritual Composing and the Politics of Emplacement Among the Banabans Resettled on Rabi Island in Fiji
    33 “SONGS CANNOT DIE”: RITUAL COMPOSING AND THE POLITICS OF EMPLACEMENT AMONG THE BANABANS RESETTLED ON RABI ISLAND IN FIJI WOLFGANG KEMPF University of Göttingen Music and its performance are very important political instruments in the process of constituting place and homeland among the Banaban diaspora, a Micronesian community now mostly living on Rabi Island in Fiji. The central issue I address is how Banabans link locally created, contemporary music to the historical praxis of ongoing emplacement in their new Fijian island home. Music was at best marginal, in my original research project. My primary focus was on the historical dimensions and the more recent experiences and everyday practices associated with the re-localisation of a displaced community in Oceania. But from the very beginning of my 15- months stint of fieldwork on Rabi Island between 1997 and 1998, there was no escaping the evidence that for Rabi Island Banabans singing, dancing and performing dance theatre are of enormous social and political importance—something they share, incidentally, with other mobile and displaced peoples in Oceania (see e.g., Donner 1992, 2002:23-24, Howard and Rensel 2001:81, Thomas and Tuia 1995:110). The argument I develop in this paper is that Banabans deploy these genres of performing arts in order to spatially anchor, preserve and communicate to others the history, culture and identity of their community on Rabi Island. The Banaban community has now been in the Fijian island of Rabi for more than 50 years and Banabans create, perform and disseminate to coming generations music underscoring their spatial and ethnic distinctiveness.

  • 9 World War II in Kiribati
    9 World War II in Kiribati Sam Highland The Republic of Kiribati consists of three groups of islands, namely the Giibert Group, the Line Group, and the Phoenix Group, all scattered across the central part of the Pacific Ocean. The total land area of the country is about 719 square kilometers, most of which is about one meter above sea level. Because the soil is very poor, the planting of coconut trees is the only industry on land. On the other hand the vast waters surrounding the country are good fishing grounds. The national capital is located in Tarawa in the northern Gilberts, and the population of the country during the 1985 census was 64,000. World War IT in Kiribati was confined mainly to the important govern­ ment bases in Banaba, Tarawa, Abemama, and Butaritari. This paper is about the Tarawa campaign, one of the bloodiest battlegrounds in the entire war, and its impact on the Kiribati people, particularly the inhabitants of Betio village, which was the stage of the main conflict between the Japanese and the Americans. Betio village is an islet located at the southern extremity of Tarawa atoll. Until the ravages of the war, the Betio people engaged in a subsistence lifestyle with some affluence. The land abounded with tropical fruits and crops, mainly coconuts, breadfruit, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, pandanus, papaya, and traditional root crops. The surrounding sea teemed with marine life, fish and molluscs, readily available all year round. Life was easy, luxuri­ ous, and enjoyable before the threat of war came in the first week of December 1941.

  • Case Study a VULNERABILITY of FRESHWATER LENS on TARAWA
    Case Study A VULNERABILITY OF FRESHWATER LENS ON TARAWA – THE ROLE OF HYDROLOGICAL MONITORING IN DETERMINING SUSTAINABLE YIELD Eita Metai Water Engineering Unit Ministry of Works and Energy Republic of Kiribati Proceedings of the Pacific Regional Co nsultation on Water in Small Island Countries Theme 2 Case Studies – 65 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The climate is getting warmer and warmer due to the “GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECT” and Kiribati groundwater resources are threatened by extreme weather events. With Kiribati population projection of around 165,000 to 351,000 inhabitants in 2100, the strain on the groundwater resources will be even more severe and will further increase vulnerability. A World Bank Study carried out in August 2000 indicated that the cost impacts on groundwater due to climate change (change in rainfall, inundation, change in temperature) are between US$1.4-2.7 million per year. Groundwater apart from rainwater catchments is the main source of freshwater. As for South Tarawa – the capital of Kiribati - groundwater is extracted from two islands, Bonriki and Buota. A number of investigations and monitoring has been carried out on the groundwater since 1960’s and produced different results. The investigation and/or monitoring ranges from simple salinity measurement to water level measurement, borehole salinity measurements to computer analysis. New investigations and/or monitoring methods keep appearing as years go by. Based on experiences, it seems that borehole salinity measurements are probably the best of all as they actually measure the groundwater salinity at a number of depths. This also qualifies it for monitoring the impact of climate change on groundwater.

  • A Geographical Checklist of the Micronesian Monocotyledonae
    A Geographical Checklist of the Micronesian Monocotyledonae F. R. FOSBERG,MARIE-HELENE SACHET and ROYCE OLIVER B01a11yDepar1me111. Narional M11se11m ofNa111ra/Hisrory, Smi1hso11ia11ills1i1111io11, Washi11g1011, D.C . 20560 Abstract. The monocotyledonous plants known to us as occurring or reported to have occurred in Micronesia are listed systematically by families and alphabetically under the families. They belong to 272 genera (in a broad sense) . Of the 677 species and varieties included, 367 are considered indigenous, 308 exotic (indicated by an asterisk). Of the indigenous ones, 166 are endemic in Mi- cronesia, so far as we know. The other 204 extend to other lndo-Pacific islands or countries border- ing the lndo-Pacilic region. The strand and coastal plants are mostly widespread, some are pan- tropical. Of the endemics, 135 are restricted to the Caroline Islands, 19 to the Marianas, 11 to both groups, and one to Wake and the northern Marshalls. There are no endemics, (with the possible exception of the poorly known Crim1m bakeri) in the central and southern Marshalls, the Gilberts, or the other isolated islands . The affinities of the species are mostly lndo-Malaysian and New Gui- nean-Melanesian, a few are Australian . For each species and smaller taxon the known distribution by islands is given, as well as basionyms, synonyms, misapplications or misidentilications that have appeared in the Micronesian literature known to us. Introduction The third and last part of our Geographical Checklist of Micronesian Vascular Plants includes all taxa of Monocotyledonae known to us from Micronesia. Earlier parts covered the dicotyledons, and pteridophytes and gymnosperms (Micronesica 15: 41-295, 1979; 18: 23-82, 1982).

  • Voices of Visual Studies Visualizing Banaba: Art and Research About A
    Voices of Visual Studies Visualizing Banaba: Art and Research about a Diffracted Pacific Island Katerina Martina Teaiwa Figure 1 Screenshot from Mine Lands: for Teresia in Project Banaba by Katerina Teaiwa. Image courtesy of the author. For over twenty years I’ve been imagining and producing my Pacific research and scholarship through the performing and visual arts while regularly resisting publishing about most of that process. While discussions of method are there in my 2002 PhD thesis, much of this lack of reflection on the methods is a matter of time and energy and also a resistance to the norms of scholarly dis- cipline and career strategy—avoiding top journals, refusing to play the publis- hing game, while being regularly inundated with requests to contribute to pub- lishing and editorial endeavours. However, this has left a gap in my own work on methodologies and in sharing approaches with early career scholars in Pa- cific studies and other fields. My book, Consuming Ocean Island: Stories of People and Phosphate from Ba- naba,1 about the impact of British, Australian, and, New Zealand phosphate mining on one of my ancestral homelands, felt like a mission to Mars. Refract | Volume 3 Issue 1 310 Figure 2 Google Map of the Pacific Highlighting the Location of Banaba in Kiribati. Image courtesy of Google, INEGI, 2002. Prolonged sitting, writing, reading, rewriting, and editing are static embodied processes unnatural to human design. And while I’m so pleased the book has been taken up in several anthropology, history, Pacific studies, and Indigenous studies classrooms, the chapter I love most is the one that reviewers and editors had almost nothing to say about.
