Ø To prioritise the updated Actions in the RWAP from both the national and regional perspective Ø To develop and promote funding proposal(s) for highest priority regional and national actions. Expected Outcomes Ø Review of the status and value of mangrove wetlands in the Pacific region Ø Review of current management initiatives and institutional arrangements in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Ø Priority list of actions to support the wise use and management of Mangrove Wetlands in countries in the region. Ø A strategy to be used to target technical and financial support from regional organisations and the donor community. Ø Updated Regional Wetlands Action Plan. SUMMARY REPORT WORKSHOP CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The workshop generally concluded that, while the specifics of mangrove degradation vary from country to country, the underlying causes are similar and have not changed or improved significantly since the Regional Wetlands Action Plan was developed. Urgent action is needed to focus attention on this issue and implement remedial action at the community level. The underlying cause of mangrove degradation is predominantly the shift from a subsistence-based economy to a commercial-based (market-driven) economy. With this shift comes population growth, social changes, and the exploitation of natural resources for commercial purposes. New needs, aspirations and wants are also being created. Consequently, Pacific island countries are facing new challenges of balancing their economic development goals with those of conservation of their natural resources. Attaining this balance is essential given the limited natural resource endowments and economic opportunities in the islands, high population growth rates generally, and their vulnerability to natural disasters such as hurricanes and cyclones. The strongest message to come out of the workshop was that the process of engaging communities in managing their resources is still not working well in the Pacific and that the project/donor- funding process is fundamentally flawed in this regard. Whilst the threats and management actions were prioritised (Tables 1 and 2), the workshop discussions focused on the “how to” rather than the “what to” do in relation to developing and implementing natural resource management plans/programs, in the Pacific island context, rather than developing a specific proposal. Conclusions 1. Despite modernisation and development, many coastal communities throughout the Pacific remain dependent on mangrove ecosystems and the services and products they continue to provide for their well being and economic livelihood, mostly through non-market based or subsistence exploitation. Because of their long association with mangroves, communities have a wealth of traditional empirical and scientific knowledge on the direct and indirect benefits of the mangrove ecosystem. 2. Even if these benefits provided by mangroves could be replaced, the expense would be far too great for most Pacific island rural and urban communities to absorb. 3. The environmental goods and services provided by mangrove systems in the Pacific are being used unsustainably by a range of stakeholders, without regard to the external costs that their actions impose upon the ecosystem and upon others who also depend upon this ecosystem. The “total economic value” of mangrove ecosystems must be taken into account in determining use types and levels, including all direct and indirect uses and benefits. 4. For resource use to be modified, the economic and socio-cultural interests of all parties must be taken into account. The incentives to change or modify behaviour must be carefully considered. In addition to measures to minimise environmental damage, specific measures need to be undertaken to address the particular constraints that poor resource-users face. Attempts to change resource use and promote sustainable mangrove management must consider the development needs of those communities that depend on these resources for their livelihood and survival needs. 5. The need to harmonise diverse stakeholder concerns and find shared interests that can be built upon to achieve environmentally sustainable mangrove management is of primary importance. 6. Management action must be multi-sectoral with representation of all primary stakeholders, especially local communities. 7. In order to work towards more sustainable mangrove management, key gaps in data/knowledge need to be addressed. Management needs to be based on good science. Sound data on biological and human-environment indicators is needed to guide policy and set parameters for sustainable resource use. 8. There is a real need to strengthen and enforce the rules and regulations governing the extraction and use of mangrove resources at the national and local level. 9. The region needs a stronger focus on mangrove wetland management. Recommendations Recommendations are in the form of guiding principles to develop national/local action programmes and priorities rather than simple action statements. Over-riding principles • We must find the balance between economic ‘development’ and ‘protection’ (sustainable use) • Projects must be relevant to the area and the community (i.e. have a context/area-specific outcome- focused approach) taking into account all the relevant factors at the site: – Ecological and economic factors will define the project/management boundary – Social, institutional and political characteristics will define the appropriate approach. GuidingPrinciples 1. Develop a common philosophy on what needs to be done – Must be founded in a partnership between government and ‘communities’ – All levels of government, private sector and relevant ‘communities’ should be involved. 2. Combine ‘traditional’ and ‘modern’ information/management approaches/models and tools. 3. Management actions must be sustainable – Essential that they meet local income needs, – Adopt an integrated ecological-social-economic analytical

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of the South Pacific Electronic Research Repository Pacific-Asian Education Vol. 23, No. 2, 2011, 77-88 A reflection on ‘being’ ‘Fijian’ and ‘belonging’ to Fiji: Conceptualizing a value-theory approach to Citizenship Education Cresantia Frances Koya Vaka’uta Key words: citizenship education, participatory citizenship, critical consciousness, being and belonging, value theory approach, Fiji, curriculum mainstreaming Abstract Education in the 21st century is marked by the vast influence of globalization and the drive for international comparability. In Fiji, as in the rest of the Pacific, this is no different. Education systems in the Pacific islands are characteristically informed and influencedby external push and pull factors which are reflectiveof colonial legacies, as well as current donor dependency and the agendas that these dictate. This educational reality may be seen as a crisis of relevance that has been well documented by Pacific scholars. This paper presents the argument that the issue of what it means to ‘be’ Fijian and to ‘belong’ to Fiji is a wider socio-cultural/historical debate that has not been adequately dialogued. This dialogue is critical if citizenship education is intended to contribute to participatory citizenship and towards conscientization of national identity for social cohesion. It is further argued that a holistic curriculum package would enable students to learn through problem-solving the ability to bring about change in their own lives and in their communities. Introduction Come to Niusila, he said. This island will bring you no happiness You will always be on the fringe looking in You’re never going to be Fijian enough No matter how much you do for this country.

  • Rugby in Fiji: Unifying and Dividing a Multi-Cultural Society
    Rugby in Fiji: Unifying and Dividing a Multi-Cultural Society Dominik Schieder Abstract: This article discusses the socio-political meanings of rugby union football in the Pa- cific Island state of Fiji. It argues that Fijian rugby is best understood as a cultural construction and a vehicle of symbolic communication which has the capacity to simultaneously divide and unite the country’s multi-ethnic society. Since its introduction to Fiji during the British colonial period, rugby has been almost exclusively played by indigenous Fijians and has become an integral part of the vaka i taukei (“the Fijian way of life”). Rugby enables Fijians to articulate and maintain regional and local social boundaries but, in the same time, it also promotes nation-building, by uniting members of different ethnic groups as fans and contributing to the establishment of a common “Fiji Islander” identity. Therefore, the socio-political aspects of Fijian rugby are manifold and mirror both the challenges and the potential of Fiji’s multi- cultural society. Keywords: Fiji; sport; rugby; identity; conflict [Submitted as Scientific Paper: 5 September 2011, revised paper received and accepted: 04 November 2011] The 2007 Rugby World Cup in France has been considered a milestone in the history of Fiji’s rugby union football1 not only from the perspective of sport achievements. In their final pool game, the Fijian national side ('The Flying Fijians') managed for the first time to defeat the Welsh rugby team and ente- red the quarter finals where they lost in front of the South African team. Back in Fiji, where I conducted fieldwork for my doctoral dissertation (Schieder, 2010), a nation of rugby enthusiasts, consisting of indigenous Fijians, Indo-Fijians and several other population groups2, cheered for its team.

  • Summary Report on Forests of the Mataqali Nadicake Kilaka, Kubulau District, Bua, Vanua Levu
    SUMMARY REPORT ON FORESTS OF THE MATAQALI NADICAKE KILAKA, KUBULAU DISTRICT, BUA, VANUA LEVU By Gunnar Keppel (Biology Department, University of the South Pacific) INTRODUCTION I was approached by Dr. David Olson of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) to assess the type, status and quality of the forest in Kubulau District, Bua, Vanua Levu. I initially spent 2 days, Friday (28/10/2005) afternoon and the whole of Saturday (29/10/2005), in Kubulau district. This invitation was the result of interest by some landowning family clans (mataqali) to protect part of their land and the offer by WCS to assist in reserving part of their land for conservation purposes. On Friday I visited two forest patches (one logged about 40 years ago and another old-growth) near the coast and Saturday walking through the forests in the center of the district. Because of the scarcity of data obtained (and because the forest appeared suitable for my PhD research), I decided to return to the district for a more detailed survey of the northernmost forests of Kubulau district from Saturday (12/11/2005) to Tuesday (22/11/2005). Upon returning, I found out that the mataqali Nadicake Nadi had abandoned plans to set up a reserve and initiated steps to log their forests. Therefore, I decided to focus my research on the land of the mataqali Nadicake Kilaka only. My objectives were the following: 1) to determine the types of vegetation present 2) to produce a checklist of the flora and, through this list, identify rare and threatened species in the reserve 3) to undertake a quantitative survey of the northernmost forests (lowland tropical rain forest) by setting up 4 permanent 50 ×50m plots 4) to assess the status of the forests 5) to determine the state and suitability of the proposed reserve 6) to assess possible threats to the proposed reserve.
