  • Glasses & Micronesia3 08
    Glasses for Micronesia June 2008 Sandra and I got back June 2nd from our trip across Micronesia, and many have asked how the trip went, and were we successful in distributing the reading glasses. The short answer is yes, we were very successful and the trip was fantastic. I thought I would pen a short travel log so that people know where we went and a bit about Micronesia, its culture and people, as well as about the distribution of the glasses. The map below shows the Pacific region across which we travelled. Leaving on Monday, May 19th, we flew from Hawaiʻi to Guam, stayed over night, and then flew to Yap the next morning. The flight to Guam is 7.5 hours, and Yap is another hour and a half beyond Guam. Guam is an American Territory. Yap is one of the four Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The others are Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The FSM states were part of the United Nations Trust Territory administered by the Americans after WWII. Figure 1. Map Showing Distances across the Region (not to scale) We stayed on Yap for two days. While there we gave half the prescription glasses (about 30 pairs) to the local hospital. There are no commercial places on Yap where people can have their eyes tested and glasses made. The doctors at the hospital will match the glasses with patients at the hospital who need them. We also gave the doctors and office staff some of the reading glasses because even the doctors couldn’t get glasses.

Jerry Lipka1 Abstract Existential threats to Indigenous People’s lands, cultures, and languages are exacerbated and intensified by climate change and its effects, particularly to those groups deeply connected to natural systems. Through five case vignettes situated in Alaska, Yap State, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, this paper describes adaptive responses at the intersection of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and climate change. Though their locations, history, and customs vary, they share an underlying similarity in the urgency expressed for their Traditional Ecological Knowledge to be part of a response that leads to sustainability.

  • LESSONS LEARNED from the IMPLEMENTATION of a VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN SURVEY in PALAU “We Gotta Get This!”
    LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN SURVEY IN PALAU “We gotta get this!” September 2018 Lessons learned from the implementation of a violence against women survey in Palau About kNOwVAWdata kNOwVAWdata is an initiative that aims to develop sustained regional capacity for the measurement of violence against women in Asia and the Pacific. This is done—in partnership with the University of Melbourne—through the development and implementation of a sound training curriculum on the measurement of violence against women in Asia and the Pacific, by building a committed pool of trained professionals and researchers, and through technical support to national violence against women prevalence studies in the region. The initiative is funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

  • Coastal Fisheries in the Pacific Islands
    Oceanography and Marine Biology: an Annual Review 1996, 34, 395 – 531 © A. D. Ansell, R. N. Gibson and Margaret Barnes, Editors UCL Press COASTAL FISHERIES IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS P. DALZELL,1 T. J. H. ADAMS1 & N. V. C. POLUNIN2 1 Resource Assessment Section, Coastal Fisheries Programme, South Pacific Commission BP D5, Noumea, New Caledonia. 2Centre for Tropical Coastal Management Studies, Department of Marine Sciences and Coastal Management, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Abstract Coastal fisheries in the South Pacific are reviewed, including descriptions of fisheries, catch composition, catch rates and fisheries biology studies conducted on target stocks. The most widely targeted coastal fish stocks are reef fishes and coastal pelagic fishes. Small pelagic species are important for subsistence and small-scale commercial fisheries. Previously, small pelagic resources were important as a source of live bait for pole-and-line tuna fishing, but this method is declining and only one large bait fishery is left in the region in the Solomon Islands. The pole-and-line bait fisheries represent the only large-scale industrial fisheries to have operated in the coral reef lagoons of the Pacific. Estuarine resources are of major importance only in the large islands of Melanesia but are the staple diet of a relatively large proportion of the total South Pacific population. Deep slope fish stocks form the basis of only two commercial fisheries in the region and expansion of deep slope fishing comparable with the 1970s and 1980s is unlikely to occur again. Commercial fisheries development is currently orientated towards small- and medium-scale long-line fisheries for offshore pelagic resources, where high value tunas and billfishes are caught for export markets.
