TAHITI.2016 the Best of the TUOMOTU Archipelago MAY 15-25, 2016 TAHITI.2016 The Best of the TUOMOTU Archipelago MAY 15-25, 2016 If you have thought of warm crystalline South Pacific Ocean, little sand islets with coconut palms swaying down to the waterline and water to blue it appears electric? Very few of us are immune to this sirens call of French Polynesia’s image – real or imagined - and so these celebrated gems of the South Pacific have become a crossroads for dreamers, adventurers and escapist sharing a common wanderlust. We count ourselves among these folk… following in the wake of Magellan, Cook and Wallis, but by means easier than they could have ever imagined. As a diver, there is also something special beneath the azure surface that beckons, something never painted by Gauguin. In fact, the far-flung waters around French Polynesia are some of the SHARK-iest in the world… and the high voltage diving serves up the kind excitement not every paradise can deliver. The expedition is scheduled for MAY 15-25, a 10 day itinerary starting in the famed atoll of Rangiroa and weather permitting include Tikehau, Apataki, Toau and will end the journey in the stunning atoll of Fakarava. We may also get a chance to stop at a couple of others along the way. The diving is off tenders that transport us to the sites where strong currents can be present. The thrill is not only to witness what gets drawn to these spots but also to ride the crystalline currents without fighting them. Advanced diver and Nitrox certification required to join this trip.

  • 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.

  • A Sociopolitical Analysis of Drinking Water Governance in French Polynesia: the Case of the Tuamotu Archipelago
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 12 | Issue 3 Fustec, K. 2019. A sociopolitical analysis of drinking water governance in French Polynesia: The case of the Tuamotu Archipelago. Water Alternatives 12(3): 975-992 A Sociopolitical Analysis of Drinking Water Governance in French Polynesia: The Case of the Tuamotu Archipelago Klervi Fustec Independent researcher, France; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The assertion that only a small percentage of the French Polynesian population has access to drinking water is found in press reports and in reports by the French Senate and the French Polynesian Centre for Hygiene and Public Health, reports that were prepared in the context of implementing a new water law. In reality, however, inhabitants do have access to drinking water. How can we explain this discrepancy? This article analyses the sociopolitical dimensions of multilevel formal water governance in Tuamotu, one of the five French Polynesian archipelagos. Tuamotu's inhabitants use household rainwater harvesting cisterns for their drinking water provision. The analysis demonstrates that the current formal governance system is incapable of generating locally relevant and specific policies, and continues to struggle with inappropriate policy ideas derived from French Polynesia's experience as a French State. KEYWORDS: Drinking water, cisterns, multilevel formal governance, French Polynesia, Tuamotu INTRODUCTION French Polynesia is a French territory in the Pacific Ocean consisting of 48 municipalities. Since the 2004 reforms, it has enjoyed a degree of autonomy from the French State.1 While the French Polynesian government is responsible for general planning and water quality issues, it is the local authorities which have responsibility for access to drinking water and implementation of water.

    The Stopover Handbook in French Polynesia booklet brings together practical information and useful addresses for your stopovers in the islands that you will visit. Although each individual island differs from the next, they are all linked together by the ma’ohi culture, which is a source of inspiration, of perception and different life experiences. Experiencing this culture gives visitors a real opportunity to step into a completely different world. Welcome to these islands which are as precious and fragile as they are sparsely distributed within the vastness of the South Pacific.

  • Typology of Atoll Rims in Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia) at Landscape Scale Using SPOT HRV Images

The lagoon of an atoll is separated from the ocean by a rim. As the rim controls the flux of water between ocean and lagoon, its structure is one of the major forcing factors of the biological processes that depend on the renewal rate of lagoonal water. Characterizing rim structure and its degree of hydro­ dynamic aperture is mandatory for comparing the functioning of different atoll lagoons. This paper characterizes at landscape scale the different types of rims of the atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia) using SPOT HRV multi-spectral images. The classification of 117 segments of rims highlights nine different rims.

We sampled the Society, Marquesas, and Tuamotu islands in French Polynesia and three of the four Pitcairns before we ended in the legendary realm of giant Moai on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Tawhiri (Polynesian god of wind and storms) was good to us, as we had fine weather for most of our shore excursions and smooth sailing for nearly the entire 3,700 miles of Pacific we crossed in making our way from Tahiti to Easter Island. Our first spectacular Polynesian Sunset as seen from Tahiti at the Intercontinental Resort © Brian Gibbons Before we even boarded the Island Sky, we sought some great birds in Papehue Valley where Tahiti Monarchs, critically endangered, have a population around eighty birds, up from a low of 12 in 1998. In the parking lot, the Society Kingfishers chattered and sat up for scope views, then Gray-green Fruit-Doves floated past, and just like that we had witnessed two endemics. We started hiking up the trail, into the verdant forest and crossing the stream as we climbed into the narrow canyon.

Abstract: French Polynesia is experiencing increasing coral bleaching events in shallow waters trig- gered by thermal anomalies and marine heatwaves linked to climate change, a trend that is replicated worldwide. As sea surface thermal anomalies are assumed to lessen with depth, mesophotic deep reefs have been hypothesized to act as refuges from anthropogenic and natural disturbances, the Citation: Haguenauer, A.; Zuberer, ‘deep reef refugia hypothesis’ (DRRH). However, evidence supporting the DRRH is either inconclu- F.; Siu, G.; Cortese, D.; Beldade, R.; sive or conflicting.
