Pacific Island States are highly dependent on the maritime sector for the transportation of goods and people. With shipping there is the associated potential of pollution from incidents such as groundings, collisions or accidental discharges during cargo handling. The South Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP) in partnership with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), is addressing shipping related marine pollution through the implementation of its Pacific Ocean Pollution Prevention Programme (PACPOL). Figure 2.1 and Table 3.1 show the countries and territories participating in PACPOL and are collectively referred to in this document as the Pacific Islands region.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Pacific Island Countries, Phase II - scheduled POPs and intractable pesticide disposal : Project Design Document

Available Online

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)

This disposal project is the second stage (Phase II) of an AusAID-fiuided project developed in conjunction with South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to manage persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The Phase I project, which was implemented between April 1997 and April 2000. involved an inventory of hazardous chemicals, and a discussion of management options for obsolete chemicals and containers, in the PICs. Although many obsolete agricultural and other chemicals can be disposed of safely locally, others cannot.

The Cook Islands comprises 15 islands of which 12 are inhabited. The total land area is 240 square kilometers dispersed over an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 1.8 million square kilometers in the Southern Pacific Ocean. The Cook Islands may be divided into two main geographical regions: Southern Group islands and Northern Group islands. All islands outside Rarotonga (capital of the Cook Islands) are referred to as the Outer Islands. Rarotonga and the Southern Group islands are generally younger volcanic islands, while the Northern Group is low lying coral atolls.

Land is at the very core of everything connected to the faa-Samoa (Samoa way) - culture, titles, language, aiga (extended family) and people. It is often the cause of major conflicts between individuals, families, villages or districts. Drawn-out disputes are common due mainly to uncertainties over numerous beneficial owners with competing interests. One only has to visit the Lands and Titles Court at Mulinuu in Upolu and Tuasivi in Savaii to witness the extent in which Samoans would fight to protect the pule (authority) over their customary lands. This forum does not permit legal representation but allows the beneficial owners to argue their own cases themselves before a panel of Samoan judges. For such an important issue in people's lives the subject of land is not openly discussed, except in court, giving the impression that either it is too complex to deal with or too personal to be anybody else's business.

Liegregts, Wilco

PaciNet is the name of the proposed "loop" of BioNET International for Pacific Island countries. BioNET-International is an organisation established to help developing countries implement various environmental conventions, including the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, and its taxonomic capacity building component, the Global Taxonomy Initiative. In keeping with the system adopted in the 13 loops already established, PaciNet will have support from a technical support network AnzusLOOP, composed of Australia,New Zealand and the USA (Hawaii).
