This vast complex will comprise four hotels with potential for up to 1000 rooms, an international standard golf course and a marina. My own mission was indeed assessing the hydrodynamic impact of this last construction thanks to a numerical modeling under Mike 21, a professional modeling software for 2D free surface flows. And it meant being in charge of the whole survey that is to say establishing first the bathymetry and the currents in the field. After having avoided all the traps of the data processing, I made run two hydrodynamic models, the second encompassing the proposed marina which dimensions stayed nevertheless unavailable. It shows unknown phenomenon like the flux entering the channel at low tide and how the marina will modify the current speeds and directions. All the plots show that there is apparently no major issue in building a marina but some more details about the project development are to be provided to carry out properly the survey. Stephane Sanchez Page 5 03/09/99 SOPAC Training Report ____________________ INTRODUCTION Which other beach in the world needs to be more protected than Natadola Beach in Fiji? The people of Fiji themselves recognize Natadola beach as one of the nicest beaches on the island and people travel considerable distances to visit it. In spite of Fiji reputation, beautiful white sand beaches are very rare on the main land. Actually there is only one. The third step of the proposed development of Natadola Harbor is yet building a marina there. That is why the Fijian Government has commissioned an Environmental Impact Assessment in order to know whether the project will not only have significant economic benefits for Fiji but will also assist in the protection

No records are kept on disasters uhich occurred within the United States and its territories.* All OFDA 'declared' disasters are included - i.e., all those in uhich the Chief of the U.S. Diplmtic Mission in an affected country determined that a disaster exfsted uhich warranted U.S. govermnt response. OFDA is charged with responsibility for coordinating all USG foreign disaster relief. Significant anon-declared' disasters are also included in the History based on the following criteria: o Earthquake and volcano disasters are included if tbe mmber of people killed is at least six, or the total nmber uilled and injured is 25 or more, or at least 1,000 people art affect&, or damage is $1 million or more. o mather disasters except draught (flood, storm, cyclone, typhoon, landslide, heat wave, cold wave, etc.) are included if the drof people killed and injured totals at least 50, or 1,000 or mre are homeless or affected, or damage Is at least S1 mi 1l ion. o Drought disasters are included if the nunber affected is substantial.

Cela s'est traduit par la création d'infrastructures, l'adoption de mesures de désen­ clavement et une élévation du niveau de vie qui va de pair avec de pro­ fonds changements dans le mode de vie (Institut d'émission d'outre­ mer, 1994). Dans le domaine de la pêche, les techniques traditionnelles cèdent peu à peu la place à des techniques nouvelles associées à une pêche artisanale qui bénéficie à la fois de subventions et d'un marché captif. Il en résulte un développement des captures, mais aussi une dimi­ nution des ressources et une évolution du rapport de l'homme à la mer. Au vu de la fragilité du milieu naturel à Wallis et Futuna, on peut pen­ ser que l'avenir de la pêche dans l'archipel passe par un contrôle accru de son exercice dans les eaux côtières et une meilleure exploitation des ressources de sa zone économique exclusive (ZEE). Deux milieux naturels fragiles À Wallis, un lagon peu profond entoure l'île dont le relief est assez doux et dont le point culminant atteint à peine 150 mètres. Du fait de la perméabilité du sol et de la faiblesse du relief, il n'y a pas de cours d'eau, mais on y trouve une demi-douzaine de lacs dont le niveau est souvent en dessous de celui de • Avec la collaboration de Marc Soule, la mer et dont la profondeur peut être importante (Lalolalo : 80 ml.

  • Flooding in the Fiji Islands Between 1840 and 2009
    OCTOBER 2010 SIMON MCGREE, STEPHEN W. YEO AND SWASTIKA DEVI Flooding in the Fiji Islands between 1840 and 2009 SIMON MCGREE,1 STEPHEN W. YEO2 AND SWASTIKA DEVI3 1 c/- 29 Bradshaw St, Kingsbury VIC 3083, Australia [email protected] 2 c/- Risk Frontiers, Macquarie University NSW 2109, Australia [email protected] 3 Fiji Meteorological Service, Private Mail Bag, NAP 0351, Nadi Airport, Fiji Islands [email protected] Destroyed buildings at Rarawai Mill, Ba, after the disastrous flood of February 1931. The loss of life from this event exceeded 200 people, mostly in the Ba and Lautoka districts. (Photo source: CSR, 1931). FOREWORD Flooding is a regular occurrence in the Fiji Islands. Floods bring some benefits such as increasing the fertility of floodplains. But floods have caused a great deal of damage to buildings, infrastructure, agriculture and livelihoods, and many people have drowned. This research report lists floods known to have affected the Fiji Islands from 1840 to 2009, together with a summary of their meteorological causes and damaging consequences. An extensive bibliography enables the interested reader to pursue further information. The report will be useful for residents, shop-keepers and students interested in their local flood history, for researchers of the environmental history of the Fiji Islands, and for flood risk managers. This research report updates and extends FMS Information Sheet No. 125 dated 15th August 2001, which listed floods occurring in the Fiji Islands from 1840 to 2000. The original flood series was compiled largely by Simon McGree. Information for the period 2001 to 2009 has been compiled by Swastika Devi and Simon McGree.

Elles répondent à un désir de rapprochement des centres économiques, à un besoin de nouvelles terres agricoles ou à un souci de protection face aux risques naturels. Ce sont notamment ces deux dernières préoccupations qui mobilisent depuis une quinzaine d’années une partie de la population de l’île de Futuna appartenant au TOM de Wallis-et- Futuna. Sans doute la propriété foncière coutumière peut-elle être un frein et un obstacle même à ces réimplantations rurales ou à ces extensions urbaines comme c’est le cas à Tahiti, mais, ailleurs, elle permet plus facilement qu’un Plan d’Occupation des Sols (POS) les installations sur de nouvelles terres pour des personnes d’une même communauté, d’un même village, d’une même chefferie dont les finages s’étendent parfois, comme à Futuna, d’une côte à l’autre.

  • Météo-France COM PRESSE Bilan Cyclone EVAN
    Cyclone EVAN Record de rafales de vent à Wallis Le cyclone Evan est le huitième phénomène dépressionnaire avec des vents estimés supérieurs à 33 nœuds, passant à moins de 50 km de Hihifo, répertorié depuis 1968. Rétrospectives sur la vie du phénomène Une dépression se forme à l’Ouest de Futuna la 10 décembre. Elle se déplace vers l’est et passe à proximité de Futuna le 11. Ce n’est alors qu’une dépression tropicale faible. Sur Futuna, elle donne des pluies importantes et des vents de l’ordre de 30 nœuds. Elle se dirige ensuite vers les Samoa et c’est le 12 décembre à 00 h UTC qu’elle est baptisée Evan. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 elle aborde les Samoa et continue de se renforcer, les conditions sont favorables avec une température de l’eau de mer vers 28 °C et de la divergence qui s’organise en haute altitude. Evan devient cyclone tropical le 13 à 06 h UTC, il se situe alors près de la pointe est de l’île de Upolu aux Samoa. Evan va faire une boucle au nord des Samoa avant de reprendre une trajectoire vers le nord-ouest puis l’ouest. La boucle près des Samoa a duré environ 36 heures. Evan atteint son intensité maximum à partir du 14 et va se maintenir ainsi. Il se dirige vers Wallis, il passe au plus près (entre 20 et 30 km au nord) dans la nuit du 15 au 16. Il se dirige ensuite vers Futuna et passe au nord à environ 70 km dans la matinée du 16.
