Planting Coral Island PLANTING CORAL ISLAND KIRIBATI SOUTH TARAWA ISLAND SITE "On the third day of Creation,God commands the Earth tow grow a fruit- We learn, imitate, and accelerate the process of building coral reefs in nature bearing fruit tree." ----Hebrew bible for thousands of years, and then perform necessary interventions and repairs according to human wishes. Kiribati faces serious problems of being flooded with seawater. This island allows humans to share resources with other living things. The foundation of the island is a layer of coral sand. The underwater of the island is a living coral reef. Marine life lives in it.

We now show that there is also a highly anomalous Hg content in the soils. It is associated with the radioactivity and the goethite/gibbsite content and the values are as high as those in soils over known Hg-mineralisation in volcanic settings, though no mineralisation is known on Niue and such an occurrence on this coral island would be geochemically unusual.

Fresh groundwater, the major source of water in many atolls, is extremely vulnerable to natural processes and human activities. Storm surges and over-extractions cause seawater intrusion, while human settlements and agriculture can pollute shallow groundwaters. Limited land areas restrict freshwater quantities, particularly in frequent ENSO-related droughts. Demand for freshwater is increasing and availability is extremely limited. At the core of many groundwater management problems are the traditional water ownership rights inherent in land tenure and the conflict between the requirements of urbanised societies and the traditional values and rights of subsistence communities living on groundwater reserves.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Evaporation in coral islands influences their limited freshwater recharge and plays an important role in coral reefs ecology protection under the background of climate changes. From June 20th to August 16th, 2018, a field experiment was carried out in Zhaoshu Island, Xisha Islands, China, using a self-made micro- lysimeter and pan evaporation dish. To understand the whole process of evaporations at the annual scale, we used the Penman-Monteith model and crop coefficient (Kc) method to estimate potential evaporation (ETo) and actual evaporation (ETc) using meteorological data and leaf area index (LAI). The results show (1) ETo reached its peak value earlier than precipitation, causing island vegetations to suffer the highest water stress at the end of the dry season. (2) in the wet season, ETc rose as the precipitation increased, however, the ETo presented a tendency of slowly declining. These phenomena indicate that the vegetation could suffer from strong drought at the end of the dry season because of the maximum ETo and extended low rate of precipitation.

  • Pacific Ocean Coral Island Reveals How Human Settlement Affects Water Quality 17 February 2014, by Niall Byrne
    Pacific Ocean coral island reveals how human settlement affects water quality 17 February 2014, by Niall Byrne sites close to and far from human populations and fishing. They found that greater levels of fishing were associated with bigger differences in dead and live shell types. "At more heavily fished sites, the living population was dominated by foraminifera that thrive in high- nutrient conditions," Jessica says. The relationship suggests that fishing can lead to higher nutrients in the water column, which is generally bad for corals, supporting other research that shows healthy fish populations are important for healthy coral reefs. Kirimati Island was settled in the 1970s when a re- population program in the Republic of Kiribati moved people from the overcrowded capital, Tarawa, to under-populated outer islands. Provided by ANSTO A Pacific Ocean coral island, populated around 40 years ago, reveals how human settlement can quickly degrade water quality and affect the health of coral reefs, Sydney scientists say. Jessica Carilli, of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, and Sheila Walsh, of the Nature Conservancy, used Kirimati Island to examine the shells made by an organism that thrives in high-nutrient conditions, which is considered detrimental to coral. "We used a unique metric to estimate water quality before and after people arrive by comparing types of dead and live microscopic shells in reef sand made by organisms called foraminifera," says Jessica, an ANSTO postdoctoral fellow.

  • Niue Integrated Strategic Plan – 2003 - 2008
    HHaallaavvaakkaa kkee hhee MMoonnuuiinnaa Governance Financial Stability Social Economic Environment Development Niue Integrated Strategic Plan – 2003 - 2008 Niue Ke Monuina – A Prosperous Niue COUNTRY PROFILE Geography Niue is a single coral island of 259 square kilometers in the South Pacific Ocean at latitude 19 south and longitude 169 west. Niue has an Exclusive Economic Zone of 293,988 sq km. It is the largest raised coral island in the world and is known for its unspoilt environment and pristine coastal waters. People, culture and tradition Niueans are of Polynesian descent and are said to be amongst the friendliest people in the world. They speak Niuean, which has close links to other Polynesian languages. Culture, tradition, spirituality and social values play an integral part in the unique Niuean culture. Population In March 2002 the population was 1707. This compares with 20,145 residents of New Zealand who claimed to be of Niuean descent in the 2001 Census. The declining population has created difficulties in maintaining adequate public services but more importantly threatens the existence of Niue’s cultural heritage and sovereignty. The Government Since 1974 Niue has been self-governing in free association with New Zealand. Under this constitutional arrangement New Zealand is responsible for defense and external affairs as well as providing necessary economic and administrative assistance. General elections are held once every three years for the 20 members of the Legislative Assembly. Since 2001 Niue has full diplomatic representation in New Zealand. Economy In 2002 GDP was $14.2m, which equates to $7,470 per capita. The Government is the major employer in Niue.

  • "Coral" Islands: Data from the Bahamas and Oceania
    ADAPTATION AND EXCHANGES ON "CORAL" ISLANDS: DATA FROM THE BAHAMAS AND OCEANIA Frank R. Thomas This paper constitutes an attempt at delineating similarities and differences among prehistoric cultural traditions in insular tropical environments. While it has often been suggested that the amount and quality of ethnohistoric and linguistic coverage in the Caribbean area are a poor reflection of the types of information available for Oceania, the interest in subsurface investigations in the latter region (on atolls) is barely two decades old. Until the mid-1970s much of Micronesia was terra- incognita, and there are still many islands, particularly in the atoll/ raised coral categories awaiting the spade of the archaeologist. The fact that "true" atolls are absent in the West Indies should not divert us from the potential contributions that might arise in comparing human adaptation to constraints imposed by calcareous environments. On several occasions, Watters (1981, 1982, 1983) drew attention to the advances made by Pacific archaeologists in the area of subsistence; we might also add social organization and social complexity. Because of various limitations in the use of ethnographic data by their Caribbean counterparts and the benign neglect of a "seaward perspective", it was concluded that much could be learned from the work being accomplished in Oceania. THE INSULAR SETTING In order to select geological units that are comparable, one also needs to consider the quality of both ethnographic and archaeological sequences, as well as the areal distribution of coral islands. In effect, this study focuses on three "Coral Clusters" or "Coral Complexes'' for which there is a fairly adequate record of prehistoric and protohistoric cultural develop­ ments.

  • Coral Reef Condition Status Report for the Pacific Remote Islands
    Coral reef condition: 2018 A status report for the GOOD PACIFIC REMOTE ISLANDS Coral reefs are important Healthy coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse, culturally significant, and economically valuable ecosystems Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of living on Earth. They are nursery grounds for fish and other organisms. High biodiversity of corals, fish, and other organisms, provide food and jobs for people, and protect organisms helps keep the ecosystem in balance and coasts against erosion around the world. makes it resilient to environmental impacts. Although we measure biodiversity, the science is not yet The U.S. Pacific Remote Islands encompass seven islands mature enough to score biodiversity in an area. As the and atolls scattered across the central Pacific Ocean science and analysis progress, we will look to include that represent relatively pristine, beautiful, and wild coral biodiversity scores in future status reports. reef ecosystems. Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands are geographically situated near the equator. Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll are north of Jarvis Island, and Wake Atoll and Johnston Atoll are farther north and west of Kingman Reef. Each of the islands has a different land area, reef area, and population (see figure below). In general, the Pacific Remote Islands are just that—remote, relatively unimpacted islands with diverse coral and fish populations and low human influence. The condition of the reefs can be used as a baseline from which to draw conclusions about potential impacts, such as coral bleaching, overfishing, and climate change. These islands present an opportunity to study how sea level rise, ocean acidification, and warming waters affect coral reefs in the absence of substantial human influence.
