  • A Local's Guide to Papeete Visiting Tahiti? You Don't Have to Rush Off to the Outer Islands Too Quickly
    A local's guide to Papeete Visiting Tahiti? You don't have to rush off to the outer islands too quickly. There is a lot of fun to be had on the main island of Papeete as well. If you can manage to be in Papeete for the Heiva festival in July, you're in for a real treat of festival excitement: dancing, cultural shows, sporting events, parades: it's party time in Tahiti for this national holiday. Everyone, local and visitor alike, also heads outdoors for the great annual canoe tournament. All shapes and sizes of canoe, from outriggers to pirogues, singles and doubles to huge 24 man vessels, compete in thrilling races for the crowds. If marine life is your thing, don't miss the Papeete aquarium, entered through a giant shark's mouth. There are also 200 year old turtles to visit not far out of town. Hotels, even if you aren't staying in them, are a hub of visitor activities. You can join day trips to go play with dolphins, feed sharks or feed sting rays. (You can even pet the rays, which will come right up and "kiss" you!) A range of water sports are available, such as water skiing or kite surfing, and hotel restaurants often offer an excellent meal at the end of the day, with evening entertainment such as fire dancing displays. For an authentic local experience and fantastic atmosphere make sure to check out "les roulottes", a kind of mobile food court, by the port, where stall holders open small trucks up to reveal kitchens producing a range of quality dishes.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 503 the Vascular Plants Of
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

The study of sedimentary non-aromatic hydrocarbons (NAH) has been frequently used to determine of natural organic matter inputs, since a large fraction of these compounds derives from terrestrial and marine biological sources [J]. In addition, bopunes have been largely associated with petrochemical contamination [2]. Sediment cores were sampled in four sites in the coral reef lagoon surrounding the city of Papeete, Tahiti . French Polynesia. Sediment cores were dated by mean of 2l0Pb activity counting in order lo reconstruct past trends in environmental changes. This paper focuses on the historical evolution of NAH and hopanes in a sediment core sampled in the harbour which yielded results over a period covering J20 years, Geochronoly results evidenced a large inoease in sedimentation rates from 033 g.cm"V to 133 g.cniV «ncc 1967 ±4 y 13,4]. Total n-alkanes with carbon chain lenghts from CH to C35 increased from 0,4 ng.g'1 in the boUom of the core (dated 1880) to 1,7 u.gg' in the lop of the core (fig.
