  • South Malekula Area Council; Malampa Province
    V-CAP site: South Malekula Area Council, Malampa Province South Malekula Area Council; Malampa Province 1 V-CAP site context and background Malampa is one of the six provinces of Vanuatu, located in the centre of the country and consisting of three main islands namely Malekula, Ambrym and Paama. It also includes a number of smaller offshore islands – the small islands of Uripiv, Norsup, Rano, Wala, Atchin and Vao off the coast of Malekula and the volcanic island of Lopevi near Paama (currently uninhabited). Also included are the Maskelynne Islands and other small islands suck as Akam and Avock along the south coast of Malekula. The total population of Malampa Province is 36,722 (2009 census) people and it contains an area of 2,779 km². Malekula is the most populated and developed island in the province and houses the provincial capital named Lakatoro. Malekula receives an abundance of precipitation. The temperature on the island varies during the hot and cold seasons, but averages approximately 24.9°C at the coast and is a few degrees cooler in the centre of the island. Weather in Malekula is seasonal, and warmer from November until April and cooler and dryer period typically from May to October. Like the rest of Vanuatu, the island’s weather is strongly influenced by the El Nino Southern Oscillation cycles. During the El Nino (warm phase) the country is subject to long dry spells. During the La Nina (cool phase) Vanuatu has prolonged wet conditions. Malekula is located on active geological faults. The southeastern side of the island experienced major earthquakes as recently as the 1990s and the land, e.g.

  • Gestrad Final Report August2013
    GESTRAD Project Up-scaling village-based management of reef resources in Vanuatu Final report August 2013 Created and compiled by: Jeremie KALTAVARA 1, Rocky KAKU 1, Marc LEOPOLD 1,2 1 Vanuatu Fisheries Department, Research and Aquaculture Division – PORT-VILA 2 IRD, Coreus2 – PORT-VILA 1.0 Abstract The overall objective of the GESTRAD project is to contribute to develop a national policy for the management of reef fish fisheries, which considers ways of village management in force today. This is to assess the extent to which regulations may be enacted locally and supplemented by management rules to wider geographical and social level, with the support of public authorities. The study focused on the islands of Efate, Malekula and Santo where 28 villages were surveyed. The current organization of fishing practices, the unspoken rules in force, perceptions of current management issues and local ecological knowledge among the issues were analyzed following a comparative and historical approach. Overall the results challenge the current effectiveness of community-based fisheries management in achieving sustainability of reef fisheries in Vanuatu and highlight the over-reliance on small marine reserves as a management tool. Community initiatives must be strengthened by new specific national regulations governing subsistence and commercial reef fisheries as part of a multi-scale co-management approach. GESTRAD Project final report - 2013 1 2.0 Introduction Community based fisheries management (CBFM) is widespread in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) for the management of near-shore fisheries. With the exception of highly migratory pelagic fish stocks, the narrow natural resource base of many Pacific islands makes them particularly vulnerable to inappropriate development and mismanagement.

  • Topics in the Grammar and Documentation of South Efate, an Oceanic Language of Central Vanuatu
    Topics in the grammar and documentation of South Efate, an Oceanic language of Central Vanuatu Nicholas Augustus Thieberger BA (Hons), MA Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2004 Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, University of Melbourne Abstract This thesis presents topics in the grammar of South Efate, an Oceanic language of Central Vanuatu as spoken in Erakor village on the outskirts of Port Vila. There has been no previous grammatical description of the language, which has been classified as the southernmost member of the North- Central Vanuatu subgroup of languages. In this description I show that South Efate shares features with southern Vanuatu languages, including a lack of serial verb constructions of the kind known for its northern neighbours and the use of an echo-subject marker. The phonology of South Efate reflects an ongoing change in progress, with productive medial vowel deletion and consequent complex heterorganic consonant clusters. A key feature of South Efate grammar is the grammaticalisation of a benefactive phrase in pre-verbal position. There is thus a discontinuous verbal complex including a closed class of auxiliary verbs that occur in a fixed order preceding the benefactive phrase and then the verb. Mood-marking is central to any utterance in South Efate and there is no grammatical expression of tense. The interplay between mood and aspect marking is an interesting feature of the language. The present research is set in the context of increasing attention being paid to the state of the world's smaller languages and their prospects for being spoken into the future.

  • Pigs, Mats and Feathers
    Customary marriage in Vanuatu 245 Pigs, mats and feathers customary marriage in Vanuatu Sue Farran Abstract Republic of Vanuatu law recognises three forms of marriage as valid: church, civil and custom. This paper reports on a preliminary survey to determine what forms of custom (kastom) marriage exist in Vanuatu and whether they are certain enough to establish that a marriage has taken place. The survey compiled information on procedures, participants, the role of property and the incorporation of civil or religious elements into the kastom form. It is apparent that the forms of kastom marriage, while varied, follow recognised procedural steps, most of which must be followed to validate the marriage. They are generally preceded by formal premarital negotiations. They usually involve negotiated property exchanges and transfer the bride from her own family’s home to her husband’s house. Preparations, the ceremony and the celebrations involve large groups of kin of both sexes, from both sides, providing many witnesses to the marriage. Persons of particular status, e.g. chiefs, may also play a significant role. The property exchange signifies the establishment of strong and ongoing social relations between social/kin groups. Though the sample was small, the survey strongly suggests the existence of identifiable kastom marriages in recognisable forms and fulfilling important social functions. Their recognition under the law indeed seems appropriate.

  • Ecological Study of Fractures in Paediatric Melanesian Communities with Varying Endemic Environmental Fluoride Exposure
    Article Ecological Study of Fractures in Paediatric Melanesian Communities with Varying Endemic Environmental Fluoride Exposure Webb Elizabeth 1, Ahmad Elmansouri 2, Rebecca Ross 2, Michael Clynes 2, Jenny Tangis 3, Carol Stewart 4 and Elaine M. Dennison 1,2,* 1 School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington 6011, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre, Southampton SO16 6YS, UK; [email protected] (A.E.); [email protected] (R.R.); [email protected] (M.C.) 3 Ministry of Health, Private Mail Bag 009, Port Vila, Vanuatu; [email protected] 4 School of Health Sciences, Massey University, Wellington 6140, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Introduction: Osteoporotic fracture is a major public health burden worldwide, causing significant mortality and morbidity. Studies that have reported bone health in areas of high endemic fluorosis have commonly reported adverse skeletal, as well as dental effects. Vanuatu, sited in the Pacific, and never previously studied with regard to bone health, has six continuous degassing volca- noes on separate islands, resulting in a natural experiment for an ecological study of relationships between naturally occurring fluoride exposure and fracture incidence in paediatric populations. Citation: Elizabeth, W.; Elmansouri, Methods: This ecological study recruited 1026 lifetime residents of the rural Vanuatu islands.
