It provides recommendations and conclusions to assist decision makers to prioritise hydrographic surveys in Vanuatu for the provision of accurate and adequate nautical charts to meet the needs of contemporary shipping. The overall conclusion, based on evidence of economic growth, as well as vessel transit risk, is a need for improved charting. The findings are supported on grounds of traffic risk and of positive economic growth in Vanuatu. The economic case for hydrographic risk is made on cruise-vessels alone, but notes there is also transit risk associated with domestic coastal cargo vessels.

After a team introduction, Champions Program coordinator, Wilfred Koran, made a presentation to the Heads of Schools and their Zone Curriculum Advisor on the content of the Champions Program and what the schools will expect if they are being visited by NASI. During his presentation, Mr. Koran informed teachers that as part of the program and its legacy in schools, teaching materials on environment, custom & culture, health & sports will be produced to assist teachers with their available teaching resources. At the end of the session Zone Curriculum Advisor, Jeffrey Kalo, thanked the team for their visit. “This visit is worthwhile as it provides us with more information and update information on the Pacific Mini Games that will be hosted in Port Vila later this year,” Mr Kalo said. “As Officer in-charge of principals and on behalf of the teachers, I wish to thank the team for their time. We will look forward to organizing our students to meet the Mascot team and especially with NASI when the team arrives to our schools to give them more information on this historic event.” The team later met with the children and villagers of Lelepa Island in the village community hall, where the children learned and took part in an environmental chorus “Lukaotem gud envaeromen, no sakem toti olbaot, putum toti lo raet ples” as they were being entertained by NASI.

  • Studies in Global Archaeology 20
    STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY 20 Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 MONUMENTS AND PEOPLE IN THE PACIFIC HELENE MARTINSSON-WALLIN & TIMOTHY THOMAS Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University 2014 Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 ABSTRACT The Pacific region consists of a multitude of island communities in a vast Ocean. The people and material culture on the various islands and island groups are not homogenous despite the close relationships demonstrated by archaeological, linguistic and ethno-historical research. Monuments have generally been interpreted to be tied to ideology and power and often have an extended biography with use and re-use phases. They could be considered both as part of, and active in, shaping and re-shaping the natural and ideological landscape of groups of people. Monuments, especially the ones that have been interpreted as ceremonial sites, have often been used in the discussion of prehistoric migration and interaction of people in the Pacific region but they also play an important role in current Cultural Heritage Management (CHM) and issues related to World Heritage nominations and community involvements. This volume presents case studies from across the Pacific focusing on the relationship of monuments and people to chronology, ideology, re-use, biography and CHM in a local, regional and global perspective.
