  • BEACH ADVISORY Supporting Efforts to Clean Our Shores
    BEACH ADVISORY Supporting efforts to clean our shores Release Date: January 17, 2018 Contact: AS-EPA Water Program at (684) 633-2304 The American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (AS-EPA) advises the public that on January 16, 2018, the following recreational beaches tested positive for Enterococci bacteria levels that exceed American Samoa Water Quality Standards: Amanave Stream Mouth Aua Stream Mouth Asili Stream Mouth Alega Stream Mouth Avau Fagaitua Utulei Amouli Fagasa-Fagale’a Aoa Afono Stream Mouth Onenoa Vatia AS-EPA beach advisories inform the public about current water conditions. When a beach advisory is issued, it is because water samples indicate that the American Samoa Water Quality Standard for Enterococci has been exceeded. This advisory is in effect until further sampling and laboratory analyses indicate that Enterococci concentrations are within acceptable water quality standards. The presence of Enterococci in the water indicates contamination by human and/or animal wastes. Swimming in water with high levels of Enterococci may cause stomach problems, skin rashes, and ear, eye, and wound infections. To reduce your risk: avoid swallowing beach water, be sure to rinse or towel off after a swim, and shower once at home. If you are ill, or think you may be ill, AS-EPA advises that you consult a physician before making any water contact in the beaches cited above. Note: AS-EPA monitors the water quality of 44 recreational beaches on Tutuila, the wharf in Aunu’u, and five beaches on Manu’a. Tutuila advisories are issued weekly on Wednesdays. Aunu’u and Manu’a advisories are issued monthly.

CLENCH CURATOR OF MOW.USKS, HARVARD UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION The following report is based largely upon the extensive collection of Pacific island mollusks in Bernice P. Bishop Museum. The study was made possible by a Yale-Bishop Museum Fellowship which was granted for the winter of 1940-1941. Upon my return to Cambridge, the collection of mollusks in my charge was reviewed for additional data for the two families considered in this paper. I am exceedingly grateful to the Yale University Committee and to the Trustees of Bishop Museum for this fellowship and for the rare opportunity to study in the Hawaiian Islands. The value to the individual scientist of an opportunity of this sort far transcends the published results of a single report. Such an experience with the chance of seeing new and different animals and plants in the field and under totally different conditions naturally tends to shift preconceived viewpoints obtained from other field experience.

  • Beach Advisory
    American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency PRESS RELEASE: BEACH ADVISORY Release Date: September 24, 2014 Contact: AS-EPA Water Program at (684) 633-2304 The American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (AS-EPA) wishes to inform the public that on September 23, 2014 the following recreational beaches were found to be contaminated with enterococci bacteria levels that exceed AS-EPA Water Quality Standards: East: West: Fagasa-Fagalea Beach Amanave Beach Fagasa–Fagatele Beach Asili Stream Aua Stream Leone Pala Aua (Pouesi) Afono Stream Vatia Stream Central: Lauli’i Stream Pala Lagoon, Nu’uuli Alega Beach Pala Spring, Nu’uuli Alega Stream Utulei, DDW Fagaitua Fagatogo Masausi Stream Masefau Strea, Amouli Beach Aoa Beach The public should not swim, wade, or fish within 400 feet of these polluted beaches. This advisory is in effect until further sampling and laboratory analyses indicate that enterococci concentrations are within water quality standards. Water that contains excessive concentrations of enterococci bacteria is correlated with swimming-associated gastrointestinal diseases. Enterococci bacteria reside in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. Their presence in water indicates contamination by human and/or animal wastes. Swimmers in polluted water are at risk for many waterborne diseases, some of which may cause serious illness. Note: AS-EPA laboratory monitors the water quality of 44 recreational beaches on Tutuila, the wharf in Aunu’u, and five beaches on Manu’a. Tutuila advisories are issued weekly. Aunu’u and Manu’a advisories are issued monthly. Advisories are issued when bacteria concentrations exceed levels determined safe for human exposure. Questions should be directed to the AS-EPA Water Program at 633-2304.

  • Chrysomelidae of Samoa (Coleoptera)1
    Vol. XVI, No. 2, May, 1957 241 Chrysomelidae of Samoa (Coleoptera)1 J. LlNSLEY GRESSITT BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU, HAWAII {Presented at the meeting of November 13, 1956) In the series Insects of Samoa, Maulik in 1929 reported upon the Chrysomelidae then in the British Museum (Natural History) and the Bishop Museum. He enumerated 17 species, of which 11 were described as new. Four of the new species were made the types of new genera. Since that time, additional material has accumulated at Bishop Museum, and this forms the basis for this paper. Five new species and two new subspecies are here de scribed. All of them appear to be endemic. Because of the comprehensiveness of Maulik's paper, the previously known species are not redescribed. Also, because the synonymy and distribution of most of the non-endemic genera, as well as the synonymy of most non-endemic species, have been treated in Bryant and Gressitt (Pacific Science, 11:2-91, 1957) and Gressitt (Insects of Micronesia 17(1), 1955), these are not repeated here. The chrysomelid fauna of Samoa is interesting from several standpoints. It seems to represent the easternmost extension of the family into the Pacific islands. This family is not well represented on oceanic islands (Gressitt, Systematic Zoology 5:12-32,47,1956). Nevertheless, the 24 Samoa species represent a sizeable sample for the eastern limit. It compares with the 137 Fiji species and the 38 Micronesian species. Three of the Samoan species are definitely introduced, and two others occur also in Fiji (one of these latter also in Tonga).

Eckert Committee Members, Ted Goebel Frederic Pearl Head of Department, Donny L.

(May 2008) Christopher Thomas Crews, B.A., Colorado College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Suzanne L. Eckert The purpose of this thesis is to present the morphological and chemical analyses of the lithic assemblage recovered from Aganoa Village (AS-22-43), Tutuila Island, American Samoa. Implications were found that include the fact that Aganoa Village did not act as a lithic workshop, new types of tools that can be included in the Samoan tool kit, a possible change in subsistence strategies through time at the site, and the fact that five distinct, separate quarries were utilized at different stages through the full temporal span of residential activities at the village.

Summary In June 2007 NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) completed an initial maritime heritage resource document inventory for American Samoa. Maritime heritage resources consist of cultural, archaeological, and historical properties associated with coastal and marine areas and/or seafaring activities and traditions. These resources are a physical record of our past and present relationship to the sea. The inventory, carried out by staff from the ONMS Pacific Islands Regional Office, supports the management plan review process for Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and conservation and preservation efforts in American Samoa. The document inventory process seeks to compile all databases, archival material, and known reports of maritime heritage sites, but does not initiate new diving or remote sensing field surveys. This report is a brief summary of the current inventory findings. Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, designated in 1985, is co-administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the American Samoa Department of Commerce.
