Divided into the Austral, Gambier, Marquesas, Society and Tuamotu archipelagos, they're known for their coral-fringed lagoons and over-the- water bungalow hotels. Island features include white- and black-sand beaches, mountains, rugged backcountry and towering waterfalls. The Tuamotu Archipelago or the Tuamotu Islands , are a French Polynesian chain of almost 80 islands and atolls forming the largest chain of atolls in the world. This archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean stretches from the northwest to the southeast over an area roughly the size of Western Europe. The total area of land within this chain is 850 square kilometres (328 square miles), with its major islands being Anaa, Fakarava, Hao and Makemo. Rangiroa (Tuamotuan for 'vast sky') or Te Kokōta (Cook Islands Māori for 'the Hyades star cluster') is the largest atoll in the Tuamotus and one of the largest in the world (smaller than Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands and Huvadhu in the Maldives). It is part of the Palliser group. The nearest atoll is Tikehau, 12 km to the west. It is about 355 km northeast of Tahiti. Rangiroa is home to about 2,500 people on almost 80 km2. The chief town is Avatoru, in the atoll's northwest. .

  • Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia)
    PART I. ENVIRONMENT AND BIOTA OF THE TIKEHAU ATOLL (TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO, FRENCH POLYNESIA) A. INTES AND B. CAILLART THE REGIONAL BACKGROUND The islands of French Polynesia are scattered throughout a considerable oceanic area located on the eastern boundary of the Indo-Pacific Province. This area stretches from 134"28' W (Temoe Island) to 154"401W longitude (Scilly Island), and from 7"50' S (Motu one Island) to 27"36' S latitude (Xapa Island). Out of the 118 islands constituting French Polynesia, 35 are high volcanic islands and 83 are low-relief islands or atolls. Altogether, the territory of French Polynesia represents an area of 4000 km2 of dry land, 12,000 km2 of lagoonal water and a huge Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covering 5,500,000 km2 of oceanic water (Gabrie and Salvat, 1985). French Polynesia is divided into five archipelagos all oriented parallel to a northwest- southeast axis (Fig. 1). These are the Society archipelago, the Tuamotu archipelago, the Austral archipelago, the Marquesas archipelago and the Gambier archipelago. The Tuamotu archipelago stretches over a distance of 1800 km. Its 76 atolls cover a total area of 13,500 km2 of which 600 km2 are dry land. GEOLOGY OF THE TUAMOTU ARCHEPELAGO As figured by Montaggioni (1985), the Tuamotu atolls cap the top of cone-like volcanoes which rise steeply from the floor of a huge ridge forming wide shelves ranging in depth from 1,500 to 3,000 rn. Geomorphological and geochronological evidences support the fact that the formation of the Tuamotu chain is much older than that of other neighboring islands of French Polynesia.

Current statusof the endangeredTuamotu Sandpiper or Titi Prosobonia cancellataand recommendedactions for its recovery.Wader StudyGroup Bull. 105: 93-100. The TuamotuSandpiper or Titi is the only survivingmember of the Tribe Prosoboniiniand is confinedto easternPolynesia. Formerly distributedthroughout the Tuamotu Archipelago,it has been decimatedby mammalianpredators which now occuron nearlyall atollsof the archipelago.Isolated sandpiper populations are currentlyknown from only four uninhabitedatolls in the Tuamotu.Only two of theseare currentlyfree of mammalianpredators, such as cats and rats, and the risks of rat invasionon themare high. This paper outlines tasksnecessary in the shortterm (within five years)to securethe species,together with longerterm actions neededfor its recovery.Short-term actions include increasing the securityof existingpopulations, surveying for otherpotential populations, eradicating mammalian predators on key atolls,monitoring key populations, and preparing a recovery plan for the species. Longer term actions necessaryfor recovery include reintroductions,advocacy and research programmes. INTRODUCTION ecologyof the TuamotuSandpiper as completelyas is cur- rently known, assessesthe

This expedition was supported by the Waitt Institute and represented a collaborative effort between the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Waitt Institute, Center for Insular Research and Observation of the Environment (CRIOBE - French Polynesia), Korero O Te ‘Orau - Cook Islands, and The Nature Conservancy – Hawaii. The goal of the 14-day expedition was to characterize coral reef communities as part of the 100 Island Challenge. The coral reefs of the Tuamotu Archipelago and Southern Line Islands are remote and relatively free of direct human influence. Therefore, they provide researchers with an opportunity to study intact ecosystems with thriving coral and fish communities.

En 1971, les atolls abritaient 6,9 % de la population du Territoire, en 1988, 6,5 %. Le plus grand atoll des Tuamotu, et un des plus grands du Pacifique, étire ses 79,2 km2 de terres émergées sur plus de 80 km de long, 33 km de large à l'ouest.
