  • Papua New Guinea's Emergent Longline Fishery
    Papua New Guinea's emergent longline fishery Two Hawaii-based fishing vessels are currently participating in the longline fishery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), in the south west tropical Pacific. The two vessels, which fish in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands for lobsters are on charter in PNG between lobster fishing seasons. PNG is one of the largest Pacific nations, straddling Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with one of the largest EEZs in the region and abundant tuna resources. Like the rest of the Pacific, PNG is keen to expand its longline fishing industry for the lucrative fresh tuna market in Japan. Fishing trials in 1994 and 1995 in Rabaul, Finchaven and the capital city, Port Moresby, demonstrated the feasibility of a domestic fishery in PNG; although the productivity of the resource was evident from the long history of fishing in PNG waters by Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese longliners. From 1994 onwards various local companies began to establish fishing operations at various ports throughout the country, but with most activity centered around Port Moresby. A longline fishery management plan was developed by the National Fisheries Authority in 1995, which included a ban on foreign longliners operating in the PNG EEZ. Licensing guidelines were also introduced which included a minimum of 51% PNG equity in joint ventures, and short-term charter of foreign vessels to PNG companies on a 1:1 basis with the number of local vessels in a company fleet. Presently there are 20 longliners operating in PNG, with the majority of vessels being based in Port Moresby. Fishing companies outside of the capital include one in Alotau and the two others in PNG=s second city Lae.

    Analysis of the 2002 Mw = 7.6 Wewak Earthquake, Papua New Guinea, using Global Positioning System Observations Ryan Ruddick A thesis submitted for the degree of Honours in Physics of the Earth at the The Australian National University October, 2005 Declaration This thesis is an account of research undertaken between Feburary 2005 and October 2005 at the Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. Except where acknowledged in the customary manner, the material presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge, original and has not been submitted in whole or part for a degree in any university. Ryan Ruddick October, 2005 iv Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Paul Tregoning, who not only suggested the topic of this thesis, but patiently answered my questions and always pointed me in the right direction, whether I saw it at the time or not. I also want to extend my thanks to Herb for reminding me to back up my data (I should have taken more notice!), to Richard for his insights on Papua New Guinea's tectonics, to Gisela for letting me share her office and for not complaining about the wall of papers I surrounded myself with, to Richie and all those who collected and organised the GPS data from PNG, and to everyone at the Research School of Earth Sciences who made me feel welcome. I am further grateful to David Tappin of the British Geological Survey who allowed me access to his bathymetry data from Papua New Guinea. I extend my gratitude to the staff at the Centre for Spatial Information Science at UTAS, who helped me develop a passion for spatial science.

Mark Blackden and Maxie Makambo Dominic (consultants), under the overall leadership and guidance of Anuja Utz (World Bank) and Amy Luinstra (IFC) (co-task team leaders). The team benefited from the valuable support of Franz Drees-Gross (Country Director for Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and the Pacific Islands, World Bank), Tania Lozanky (Senior Manager, East Asia and Pacific Advisory Management, IFC), Gavin Murray (Regional Manager, IFC ) and Steffi Stallmeister (Country Manager for Papua New Guinea, World Bank). Helpful guidance provided by Laura Bailey (former World Bank Country Manager, Papua New Guinea) and Carolyn Blacklock (IFC Resident Representative, Papua New Guinea) is especially appreciated. The team is grateful for the valuable support and insights provided by the staff of the World Bank and IFC in Port Moresby, especially Liam Grealish (IFC) and Allan Oliver (World Bank). Nicole Jenner, Erik Caldwell Johnson, Kofi Nouve, and James Reichert (World Bank), and Deepak Adhikary, Charles Lor, Serah Sipani, and Rahmad Syakib (IFC) provided useful inputs throughout the drafting process. The report endeavors to reflect the ideas and perspectives of stakeholders met during the in-country consultations in January-February 2014, and of the participants at the stakeholder workshop that was held in Port Moresby in April 2014. This workshop brought together some sixty participants — from government, the private sector, think tanks, research institutes, NGOs, women’s groups, and the donor community — who are actively engaged in the supply chains for coffee, cocoa and fresh produce in Papua New Guinea.

This paper examines the importance of subsurface archaeological and geomorphological features for the various communities of Orokolo Bay in the Gulf of Papua as they maintain and re-construct cosmological and migration narratives. The everyday prac- tices of digging and clearing for agriculture and house construction at antecedent village locations bring Orokolo Bay locals into regular engagement with buried pottery sherds (deposited during the ancestral hiri trade) and thin strata of ‘black sand’ (iron sand). Local interpretations and imaginings of the subsurface enable spatio-temporal interpret- ations of the ancestors’ actions and the structure of ancestral settlements. These interpretations point to the profound entanglement of orality and material culture and suggest new directions in the comparative study of alternative archaeologies.
