The injections of lime juice and vinegar offer great advantages when compared to current best practices and constitute a cheap and natural option for all reefs affected by COTS (corallivorous crown-of-thorns)
A plan for the management of Marine Resources in the region
This bibliographic study enhances the need for rapid assessment techniques using biological information to evaluate the risk from the effects of fishing on shark conservation.
This guide helps to support and improve the protection and management of marine areas
This paper provides information on degradable plastics and is intended to provide guidance on potential mechanisms for achieving reductions in plastic bag consumption
An international collaboration to study, synthesize, and share the scientific information about marine reserves and other types of marine protected areas around the world.
Research for this study was carried out under a two-year project to support the implementation of Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) at two catchment-to-reef sites on Vanua Levu, Fiji, during which conservation planning approaches were trialled using EBM tools to evaluate options for re-designing marine protected area (MPA) network
Natural resource management
an academic study that provides a broader perspective for interpreting how humans and apex predators influence ecological stability across (RMI) coral reef ecosystems.
This human health risk assessment report was publicly released in 2014, and it was aimed to discern whether the observed contamination in fish tissue is specific to Kwajalein Harbor or is part of a wider contamination problem in the RMI .
brief summary of data pertaining to the water quality monitoring for bacteria in selected 18 sites in Nov 2014
A 1991 report that reviewed the state of the environment and development in RMI, and the constraints and opportunities for sustainable development.
At present in the Fiji Islands, no guidelines are available only for biological parameters for receiving water bodies commonly used for recreational activities. The ANZECC (2000) guidelines recommend the use of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Enterococci (Faecal Coliforms) as indicator organisms for fecal contamination of fresh and marine recreational water. This study compiled results for 3 biological parameters, namely, Total Coliforms (TC), E. coli and Faecal Coliforms (FC) at 3 sites in Fiji, namely; My Suva park, Wailea settlement and Centre Point.
