Transect were used to assess invertebrate resources over four and a half days on reefs of Mauke and Mitiaro. Invertebrate assemblages are low in terms of species recorded and size structure. Lollyfish (rori toto) is the most dominant invertebrate assessed however, they were less abundant compared to other islands in the Cook Islands assessed between 2012- 2014.Trochus was not recorded in these surveys. Trochus introduced to Mauke and Mitiaro in the 1980‟s and late 1990‟s have not established viable populations. This is due to the very narrow reef habitats on both islands. There is no potential for commercial fishing of sea cucumber and trochus at this time. Pa‟ua (rugose giant clam), ungakoa (large worm shell) and ariri (rough turban shell) are important food resources for Mauke and Mitiaro communities, however densities are low. The low densities and limited invertebrates species recorded in this assessment is consistent with results by Ponia et al 1998 and Ponia and Raumea 1998. Pa‟ua, ungakoa and rori toto (lollyfish) which were recorded as relatively abundant in 2009 has dramatically decreased. These resources are not able to sustain added fishing pressure such as commercial exploitation and should be left for local food security. Resource management controls, such as Ra‟ui has proved to be effective in improving the condition of stocks therefore should be considered for the benefit of local communities. 3 | P a g e 1.0 Introduction Mauke and Mitiaro are two islands of a group of three that form “Ngaputoru” in the southern islands of the Cook Islands. Ngaputoru are upraised coral islands surrounded by rugged cliffs (uruatete) and narrow reefs with limited access through the reef. The islands lack lagoons and have limited coral reef areas, with steep outer reef slopes. Due to this limited reef habitat diversity and abundance of marine resources are relatively low. In addition during extreme low tides the reef is exposed stressing corals, small fishes and invertebrates and at times during prolonged exposure some of these resources die. Those, that survive to adult stage are harvested particularly invertebrates such as ariri (turban snail) and other marine resources. Turban snail flesh is a delicacy for the island communities and is sometimes consumed while on reef gleaning excursions. Turban snail flesh can fetch prices of $40 for a two kilogram plastic container when sent to Rarotonga. Other resources such as the sea cucumbers are rarely harvested on both islands. Men generally fish the reef and outer reef slope while women dominate -reef gleaning activities. In the past the communities have used Ra‟ui (traditional form of conservation or protection) to conserve marine resources for communal use. However this system is eroding and today there are no Ra‟ui to control the use of marine resources. In 2009, as part of the local school project, a small area of the reef at Anai‟o (Mauke) was placed under Ra‟ui to show the effects of Ra‟ui for the management of marine resources. The results were positive according to Basilio Kaokao Mauke Environment Officer (Makikiriti 2009) where an increase in the number of resources was observed. The Ra‟ui was lifted a year later and remained open due to the lack of wider community support for its continuation. The use of under-water-breathing apparatus (UBA), poisons or stupefying subsistence, whether of plant or chemical origin to harvest marine resources, is forbidden in Mauke and Mitiaro. Few assessments have been conducted on reef resources on Mauke and Mitiaro. Ponia (et al 1998) conducted an assessment at three in each island as part of baseline monitoring of marine resource project by the Ministry of Marine Resources to assess the reef resources of the Cook Islands. Ponia (et al 1998) concluded that many of the important invertebrate‟s food resources at Mauke and Mitiaro recorded were of small populations. An assessment of the Anai‟o Ra‟ui on Mauke was conducted by Makikiriti (2009) before the Ra‟ui was lifted. Ungakoa (large worm shell), pa‟ua (Rugose giant clam) and rori toto (lollyfish) were the most common invertebrate found in the Anai‟o Ra‟ui. 4 | P a g e 2.0 Objective of the assessment survey The objective in this study was to collect data quantitative information on the current status of invertebrate resources with a focus on sea cucumber. Specifically, the objectives of the surveys were to: • Assess the status of sea cucumber resources on Mauke and Mitiaro to provide information on sea cucumber species present. • Provide population estimates of stocks and fishable stock estimates for those species present in commercially viable quantities for decision-making purposes. • Provide stock status information on the species of importance to subsistence fishing, and determine whether or not there is a need for management. 3.0. Methods Each island was divided into four sectors (North, East, South and West) and within each sector five locations were selected. At each location two stations were sampled within the reef crest and reef flat. No surveys were carried out along the outer reef slope. Fine scale reef benthos transects (RBT) were used to assess invertebrate resources (species presence, abundance and size) and to determine population structure. The method involves two surveyors equipped with measuring and record instruments for recording presence and size of invertebrates within transects. An RBT station comprises of six 40 x 1 metre transects and each transect was spaced approximately 5 metres apart (Figure 1). At Mauke and Mitiaro the depth of the reef crest and reef flat habitats were mostly very shallow, surveyors walked the reef crest and used GPS to measure the 40 m x 1 m transects. Species and habitat data were

  • Giant Clam of the Cook Islands Let's Restore a National Treasure
    Giant clams of the Cook Islands Let’s restore a national treasure! The harvesting of giant clams, or pā’ua, is part of our Cook Islands culture. But harvesting needs to be done sustainably in order for us to continue to enjoy this delicacy. EUROPEAN UNION Pā’ua species in the Cook Islands Three native species of pā’ua are found in the Cook Islands: • The most common species is the elongate giant clam (Tridacna maxima). The greatest densities are often found in shallow, rocky reef areas. • The largest species is the fluted giant clam (Tridacna squamosa), which can grow up to 40 cm in width. The fluted giant clam is often found on forereefs. • The recently identified Noah’s giant clam (Tridacna noae) is similar in shape and size to the elongate giant clam but its mantle (the colourful fleshy part of the clam) has teardrop-shaped spots along the edge. This clam is found on both reef flats and forereefs. A B C A Elongate giant clam Tridacna maxima Fluted giant clam Tridacna maxima B Tridacna squamosa Tridacna noae C Noah’s giant clam Tridacna squamosa Tridacna noae Three non-native species of pā’ua have been introduced to the Cook Islands to relieve the harvesting pressure on native pā’ua. These species, though, are not successfully reproducing in Cook Islands’ waters. Elongate giant clam Noah’s giant clam Fluted giant clam Pā’ua populations are depleted in the Cook Islands Penrhyn Due to overharvesting and Rakahanga warming seawater temperatures, Pukapuka Manihiki pā’ua populations have been severely depleted.

    COOK ISLANDS Love a little Adventure OUTER ISLANDS Off the Beaten Track... For the truly adventurous in spirit, the undeveloped outer islands have a remote, unspoiled appeal for the explorer, author and artist in all of us. How many places are there left in the world so remote, rarely visited and untainted by the modern world, yet so easy and safe to travel to? Venturing farther afield in the Cook Islands is and opportunity step back to a simpler, unchanging and more innocent way of life. Six sister islands are in the rest of the southern group and six more lie to the north. Some are accesible by local flights, all are accessible by boat. Off the beaten track and spread over 2 million square km of the South Pacific Ocean, their uniqueness and timelessness are their own reward. From the many water activities which are a way of life to the locals, to exploring the secrets of the diverse and varying landscapes or a sharing in the ancient culture of some of the most undiscovered places in the Cook Islands, you’ll find hidden treasure on every one of these islands. Atiu There are a few places left in the world like Atiu, an island estimated to be over eight million years old – ancient, unspoilt, lush with dense rainforests and coastal bush Also known as Enuamanu, the land of the birds, Atiu is about half the size of Rarotonga. The islands small villages are situated in the central plateau where the soil is rich and some of the best Arabica coffee in the Pacific Region is organically grown.

The information acquired was mainly through the following modalities: 1. Conducting of a Climate change and Disaster Risk workshop with the Leaders of the Island of Penrhyn; 2. Conducting of a Community Awareness Workshop for the island of Penrhyn; 3. Conducting of a house to house survey of questionnaires; 4. Other researched and personal contributions from the people of Penrhyn. This purpose of this exercise was also to collect and collate information to formulate policy statements that would enable us to come up with strategic recommendations that can be implemented at the national and as well at island level. Tongareva Henua is one of the five islands identified by the Climate Change Country Team and National Environment Service to complete the collation of baseline data for the Climate Change Vulnerability & Adaptation Assessment (V&A) program. The V&A Team for Tongareva consisted of staff from the National Environment Service. Other outer islands whereby Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation assessment have been carried out, through various projects and organisations, are as follows: Aitutaki 2003 Mauke 2008 Mangaia 2008 Mitiaro 2008 Pukapuka 2008 Atiu 2012 Penrhyn 2012 Manihiki 2012 Penrhyn 2013 Palmerston Island 2013 These assessments will require regular review, preferably every five years as changes to our daily living environment is always occurring as a result of climate change.

  • Aristocratic Titles and Cook Islands Nationalism Since Self-Government
    Royal Backbone and Body Politic: Aristocratic Titles and Cook Islands Nationalism since Self-Government Jeffrey Sissons Nation building has everywhere entailed the encompassment of earlier or alternative imagined communities (Anderson 1991). European and Asian nationalists have incorporated monarchical and dynastic imagin­ ings into their modern communal designs; Islamic nationalists have derived principles oflegitimacy from an ideal ofreligious community; and African and Pacific leaders have used kinship ideologies to naturalize and lend an air of primordial authenticity to their postcolonial identities. Since self-government was gained in the Cook Islands in 1965, holders of tradi­ tional titles-ariki, mata'iapo, and rangatira-have come to symbolize continuity between a precolonial past and a postcolonial present. Albert Henry and Cook Islands leaders who followed him sought to include ele­ ments of this traditional hierarchy in the nation-state and, through ideo­ logical inversion, to represent themselves as ideally subordinate to, or in partnership with, its leadership. But including elements ofthe old in the new, the traditional in the mod­ ern, also introduces contradiction into the heart ofthe national imagining. Elements that at first expressed continuity between past and present may later come to serve as a perpetual reminder of rupture, of a past (a para­ dise?) that has been lost but might yet be regained. Since the late 1980s, in the context of a rapidly expanding tourist industry that values (as it commodifies) indigenous distinctiveness, Cook Islands traditional leaders have been pursuing, with renewed enthusiasm, a greater role in local gov­ ernment and more autonomy in deciding matters of land and title succes­ sion.

  • Cook Islands
    COOK ISLANDS Legislative Overview On the basis the work of the International Waters Programme will be in four principal areas; marine protected areas and sustainable coastal fisheries, the protection and conservation of freshwater and the management of community-based waste, a pilot project established under the Cook Islands national component of the International Waters Programme has the potential to interact with several Government ministries. In an attempt to understand public service responsibilities for the administration and management of activities in these four focal areas, a brief review of current legislation, including responsibilities for its implementation, was undertaken during the first visit of the International Waters Project Coordination Unit to Cook Islands in May 2001. The resulting summary, presented here, was assisted by a review of environment legislation in Cook Islands undertaken by Mere Pulea in 1992. Since Pulea’s review, some legislation has been reviewed (for example the Marine Resources Act) while new legislation has been drafted (for example the Cook Islands Environment Act). This overview would benefit from a review by the National Coordinator. Table 3 lists legislation and government officers and bodies responsible for it’s implementation.
