Fiji is an archipelagic nation consisting of more than 300 islands scattered over 1.3 million km of the South Pacific Ocean. The two large, mountainous islands of Viti Levu, where the bulk of the population resides, and Vanua Levu comprise 87% of the total land area. The islands are characterised by diverse ecosystems, including significant areas of natural forest. A wide range of coastal and marine ecosystems occur, ranging from extensive areas of mangroves to various coral formations.

Western Samoa : land-based pollution sources and their effects on the marine environment

Klinckhamers, Pavel

Over the last twenty years the South Pacific region has seen numerous changes in its physical environment due to human-related activities such as increased industrialisation and rapid urbanization. While increased industrialisation has led to the production of large volumes of waste products/water requiring subsequent disposal (usually into surrounding marine environments), the rapid urbanisation has resulted in increased discharge of large volumes of human wastes and domestic rubbish usually into surrounding aquatic environments due to inadequate waste disposal facilities. One likely consequence of such activities is the degradation or destabilisation of the surrounding ecosystems to the point where it has become impossible to maintain the limited natural resources on which most of the island communities depend (S. Naidu et al., 1991).

Eradication of kiore double island, mercury group in Northern New Zealand / by Ian McFadden

McFadden, Ian

Kiore were eradicated on Double Island using two different methods. The larger islet was treated with one manual application of STORM 4 g wax block rat baits containing 0.005% by weight Flocoumafen, in October 1989. The smaller islet received one application of toxic kibbled maize (0.005% bromodialone by weight) after 4 nights prefeeding in November 1989. Kibbled maize was dispensed in silos. No sign of kiore has since been found during four visits to both islands. The cost per hectare for both methods were quite comparable. The nett cost for eradication on the larger islet (19 ha) was $310/ha, the smaller islet cost $432/ha. Both methods are considerably cheaper than the technique used to eradicate Norway rats (R. norvegicus) from Hawea Island. For future rodent eradication campaigns it is suggested that aerial applications of poisons may be made on all islands greater than 50 ha, and that size should be no barrier to rodent eradication. However, substantial non-target have been recorded when 1080 baits were broadcast aerially to control possum. Non-target kills of a similar magnitude may be experienced on larger and more sensitive islands.
