This Keyword List Contains Pacific Ocean (Excluding Great Barrier Reef) CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 3/2/2016 Pacific Ocean (without the Great Barrier Reef) This keyword list contains Pacific Ocean (excluding Great Barrier Reef) place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Pacific Ocean (without Great Barrier Reef)” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

Dipper Occasional Paper of the IUCN Species Survival Commission No. 25 IUCN The World Conservation Union Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Programme and Elasmobranch Biodiversity, Conservation and Management: Proceedings of the International Seminar and Workshop, Sabah, Malaysia, July 1997 The IUCN/Species Survival Commission is committed to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, decision-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.

  • THE GEOGRAPHY of ISLANDS Islands Come in All Shapes, Sizes, and Types, from Tiny Rocky Outcrops to Enormous Continental Landmasses
    THE GEOGRAPHY OF ISLANDS Islands come in all shapes, sizes, and types, from tiny rocky outcrops to enormous continental landmasses. The true number of islands distributed in the planet’s seas and oceans is still elusive. Recent efforts, bolstered by an abundance of detailed satellite imagery and the sophistication of geographic information systems (GIS), are bringing answers to those questions closer than ever.

  • (Gallicolumba Erythroptera) Discovered at Rangiroa
    SHORT NOTE Polynesian Ground Dove (GaUicolumba erythroptera) discovered at Rangiroa Atoll, Tuamotu Islands (Polynesia) ABSTRACT In 1990-91, a previously unknown population of the Polynesian Ground Dove was discovered on Rangiroa Atoll in the Tuamotu Is, eastern Polynesia. This apparently isolated population was estimated at only 12-20 birds. Two species of ground dove, the Polynesian Ground Dove (Gallicolumba eythroptera) and the Marquesas Ground Dove (G. nrbescens) are found today in eastern Polynesia: Since the records of European naturalists at the end of the 18th century (Holyoak & Thibault 1984, Thibault 1988), their breeding range has been rapidly declining, although this process had begun when Polynesians arrived (Steadman 1988). Because of their small numbers and patchy distribution, both species are now threatened (Collar & Andrew 1988). The wide but discontinuous range, as well as the numerous recorded local extinctions, suggests that Polynesian Ground Doves were formerly widespread in the Tuamotu Is. The discovery of a new locality for G. eythroptera provides the opportunity to discuss its overall distribution, its variation and reasons for its decline. Rangiroa is an atoll in the northern Tuamotu Is (1S005'S and 147O58' W). It is composed of a ring of about 200 islets with areas ranging from about 0.5 to 200 ha. The total area of Rangiroa Atoll is about 79 km2. Half the islets have only sand or coral rocks and no vegetation. We visited Rangiroa in 15-21January 1990 and 16-21 April 1991 and surveyed 20 islets in total (10%). rn @ Q 6' FIGURE 1 - Distribution of Gallicolumba erythroptera (from Holyoak & Thibault 1984, Steadman 1989 and this work).
