Part 4 of the Tuvalu Maritime Zones Act 2012 states that the exclusive economic zone of Tuvalu comprises those areas of the sea, seabed and subsoil that are beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, having as their outer limits a line measured seaward from the baseline; which is measured from the low-water line of the seaward side of the reef fringing the coast of any part of Tuvalu or bounding any lagoon waters adjacent to any part of that coast, or where a reef is not present, the low-water line of the coast itself every point of which is not more than 200 nautical miles from the neares
The Exclusive Economic Zone Act No. 3 of 25 August 1977, as amended by the Exclusive Economic Zone Amendment Act 1980. The exclusive economic zone of Western Samoa comprises those areas of the sea, sea bed, and subsoil
that are beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea of Western Samoa, having as their outer limits a line measured
seaward from the baseline described in sections 5 and 6 of the Territorial Sea Act 1971, every point of which line is
distant 200 nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline.

The 2020 State of Environment Report is the first for Papua New Guinea.
A team from Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research travelled to Rarotonga during July/August 2023 to carry out monitoring of biocontrols released in previous years. The team used drones to conduct monitoring surveillance for the invasive African Tulip tree species, using LiDAR and other imagery techniques.
This newsletter also provides an update on the control of the biocontrols.

This report presents findings from the analysis of radiocarbon dates and volcanic stratigraphy in the Leone Volcanics region of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, shedding light on the timing and spatial distribution of late-Holocene volcanic events. Key insights include identifying a distinct reddish ash stratum dating to approximately AD 650-750 as the most recent eruptive event, along with observations on the source and sequence of ash deposits, suggesting multiple eruptive events from both seaward and inland craters, potentially continuing as recently as AD 1300.
This paper presents over 100 radiocarbon dating results for Tutuila and Manu'a in American Samoa, contributing to various aspects of Samoan archaeology.
This paper delves into the agriculture and livestock use in American Samoa.
This map shows the different geology present on Tutuila, American Samoa. Scale approximately 1:60,000. 39 x 86 cm. "Contour interval on land, 200 feet. Soundings in fathoms." Shows diagrammatic structure sections, sedimentary and volcanic rocks, and great erosional unconformity.

This chapter discusses advances in climate change impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment methods, emphasizing the growing use of risk management frameworks, stakeholder involvement, and diverse scenario approaches. These developments aim to provide policy-relevant information for effective decision-making in the face of climate change, recognizing the importance of considering non-climate factors and regional-scale scenarios.
