Mr Sairusi Bulai of SPC Land Resource Division, said a declining interest in the coconut industry is attributed to low commodity price and low production resulting in less return. “The low production is mainly attributed to senile coconut palms in the plantation.” “The only way to reinvigorate the interest amongst the communities to replant their old coconut plantation is to provide high economic return to the senile trees.” Mr Bulai said. He added that during the mid-70’s and late 80’s a lot of effort was made to look at in detail the properties of wood from senile palms and to determine the most appropriate end uses for the material. “This was mainly due to the findings that economic value for the senile palms was considered a vital component for success of any coconut revitalisation programme.” Mr Bulai said. The ACIAR-funded project through DEEDI in the last three years focussed on developing appropriate technologies and processes to produce high quality flooring from wood sawn from senile coconut palms targeting the high value international market for hardwood flooring.

  • Oceans Watch Indigenous People's Plan for the Temotu Province
    Oceans Watch Indigenous People’s Plan for the Temotu Province Solomon Islands Temotu is the easternmost province of the Solomon Islands. It consists, essentially, of two chains of islands which run parallel to each other from the northwest to the southeast. The Islands or Island groups which make up the province are: • Anuta • Duff Islands (including Taumako) • Fatutaka • Lomlom • Malo • Matema • Reef Islands (including Fenualoa, Makalom, Nalongo and Nupani, Nifiloli, Nukapu, Patteson Shoal, Pigeon Island and Pileni) • Santa Cruz Islands (including the large island Nendö) Temotu Province 2 • Tikopia • Tinakula • Utupua • Vanikoro (including Banie and Teanu) The provincial capital is Lata, located on Nendo, the largest and most important of the Santa Cruz Islands. The population of 18,912 (1999) is quite diverse for the small land area encompassed. The Santa Cruz Islanders are predominantly Melanesian, although the inhabitants of Tikopia, Anuta, the Duff Islands and some of the Reef Islands are Polynesians. The province has given its name to the Temotu languages, a putative linguistic subgroup within the broader Oceanic family of languages. The languages spoken in the province include all nine Temotu languages proper, plus two Polynesian outlier languages: Vaeakau-Taumako and Tikopia. OceansWatch has a bottom up approach and only works where communities have invited us to help them in conservation, education and sustainable livelihood projects. After initial invitation our first visit is always to address the level of stakeholder support

  • H44GC and H40GC Article ( ENG ).Pdf
    H44GC & H40GC DXpedition 2016 article Through the eyes of his organizer - Stan, LZ1GC At the beginning of this article for the convenience of the readers, I submit data from Wikipedia about the Solomon Islands and Temotu Province, the object of this expedition. Solomon Islands ( H44 ) is a sovereign country consisting of six major islands and over 900 smaller islands in Oceania, lying to the east of Papua New Guinea and northwest of Vanuatu and covering a land area of 28 400 square kilometres. The country's Capital, Honiara is located on the Island of Guadalcanal. The country takes its name from Solomon Islands archipelago, which is a collection of Melanesian islands that also includes the North Solomon Islands, but excludes outlying islands, such as Rennel and Bellona and the Santa Cruz Islands. The islands have been inhabited for thousands of years. In 1568, the Spanish navorigator Alvaro de Mendana was the first European to visit them, naming them the Islas Solomon. Britain defined its area of interest in the Solomon Islands archipelago in June 1893, when the Captain Gibson R. N. of HMS Curacoa, declared the southern Solomon Islands as a British Protectorate with the proclamation of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate. The official name of the then British overseas territoty was changed from " the British Solomon Islands Protectorate " to " Solomon Islands " in 1975. Self - government was archieved in 1976. Independence was obtained two years later. Temotu Province ( H40 ) is easternmost province of the Solomon Islands. The province was formerly know as Santa Cruz Islands Province. It consists, essentially of two chains of islands which run parallel to each other from the northwest to the southeast.

The languages of Vanikoro With its 193 sq. km, Vanikoro is the second largest island in the small archipelago formerly known as the Santa Cruz Islands, and now often referred to as “Temotu”, after the official name of the easternmost province of the Solomon Islands (Map 1). The province of Temotu is home to a variety of languages (Tryon 1994): three Polynesian, and nine non-Polynesian. The latter include three languages on Vanikoro, and three on Utupua – a total of six Oceanic languages which have long been understood to form a branch of their own (Tryon and Hackman 1983).
