In July 1984 the South Pacific Commission (SPC) received a request from the Office for Tokelau Affairs for assistance on a project to document traditional tuna fishing knowledge. After several discussions between SPC and Tokelau Officials it was decided that a research scientist from the Commission's Tuna and Billfish Assessment Programme would carry out the work in Tokelau. Accordingly, Robert Gillett traveled to Tokelau in May 1985 and spent thirty eight days days on Fakaofo, one on Nukunonu, and two on Atafu. The results of that work, Traditional Tuna Fishing in Tokelau. appeared as Topic Review 25 of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme. The following is a translation into the Tokelauan language of that report.
