The Inter­ pretive Program provides a broad-based agenda that includes on-site and off-site activities geared for elementary and high school students as well as community college students and the general pUblic.

JOSPA 6(1): 25-28. Bunchy Top Virus on the five principal islands of American Samoa. These islands are located between 14° 12’ and 14° 23’ south latitude and 170° 32’ and 170° 52’ west longitude. They are volcanic in origin with narrow coastlines rising abruptly to tapered ridges. The total land area of 197 km2 is mainly forested slopes greater than 30% (Wingert, ABSTRACT 1981). Highest elevations vary from 89 m on the small island of Aunu’u to 974 m on Ta’u. Traditional Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) was first subsistence agriculture is concentrated along the reported in American Samoa in 1967. The coastal strip and lower slopes, with the exception of incidence and distribution of disease, however, the Tafuna (Leone) Plain on the main island of Tutuila had never been established. In March 1999, five and a few upland areas on the outer island of Ta’u. survey teams visually inspected approximately The rainy season is November-March, the dry 30,000 banana mats at 20 villages and 10 season June-September.

  • Pesticide Vs. Traditional Treatments for Banana Scab Moth Control In
    PROJECT REPORT h FARMER/RANCHER h SARE Final Results FW99-037 Pesticide vs. Traditional Treatments for Banana Scab Moth Control in American http://wsare.usu.edu Samoa Location: OBJECTIVES Tutuila, American Samoa The research was designed to determine whether traditional Samoan treatments for controlling banana scab moth are as effective as pesticide treatments. Funding Period: June 1999 to June 2000 ABSTRACT Grant Award: In American Samoa, where bananas serve as a dietary staple, banana growers $6,000 wrestle with the banana scab moth, considered by some to be their greatest problem. Damage to untreated bunches can cause losses of 10 to 50%. Project Coordinator: Roseline Liu P.O. Box 3216 In the past, American Samoans accepted the damage. But that appears to be Vaitogi, AS 96799 changing as demand grows for more costly, unblemished imported fruit and as (684) 688-7913 local growers’ biggest market, the American Samoan Government School Lunch Program, now prefers undamaged fruit. Major Participants: Fred Brooks Plant Pathologist The female moth lays her eggs on the bracts of the emerging inflorescence. If ASCC Land Grant Program left untreated before the inflorescence bends toward the ground, fruit damage P.O. Box 5319 from feeding larvae is likely. Countries producing bananas for export typically Pago Pago, AS 96799 (684) 699-1394, ext. 41 inject the inflorescence with pesticide as soon as it emerges from the pseudostem. But in American Samoa, where few have injectors, growers usually Makeati Utufiti wait until the inflorescence droops before treating, which results in scabbing, especially on the older hands. Cooperators: Sei Sua Two sites on the main American Samoa island of Tutuila were selected for the trials, a 20-acre plantation in the coastal village of Vaitogi with 12 acres planted to the Cavendish-type cultivar, Williams, and a 10-acre plantation in the inland village of Malaeloa planted to the same cultivar.

  • Historic Fishing Methods in American Samoa
    NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-PIFSC-24 June 2011 Historic Fishing Methods in American Samoa Karen Armstrong David Herdrich Arielle Levine Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce About this document The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth=s environment and to conserve and manage coastal and oceanic marine resources and habitats to help meet our Nation=s economic, social, and environmental needs. As a branch of NOAA, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts or sponsors research and monitoring programs to improve the scientific basis for conservation and management decisions. NMFS strives to make information about the purpose, methods, and results of its scientific studies widely available. NMFS= Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS series to achieve timely dissemination of scientific and technical information that is of high quality but inappropriate for publication in the formal peer- reviewed literature. The contents are of broad scope, including technical workshop proceedings, large data compilations, status reports and reviews, lengthy scientific or statistical monographs, and more. NOAA Technical Memoranda published by the PIFSC, although informal, are subjected to extensive review and editing and reflect sound professional work. Accordingly, they may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. A NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS issued by the PIFSC may be cited using the following format: Armstrong, K., D. Herdrich, and A. Levine. 2011. Historic fishing methods in American Samoa. U.S. Dep. Commer., NOAA Tech.
