In this study, data was collected from various sources, including the National Statistical Office, Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Kiribati National Tourism Office, Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources Division, Public Utilities Board. A survey of a stratified sample of about 10% of households across each of the South Tarawa villages was also conducted.
This report is based on official trip made to Onotoa early this year 2014. The trip involved collecting information (updated) on sites, workshop and myna trap construction and destroying feeding and nesting areas.
Research and sample collections for this study were performed under a Scientific Research Permit issued by the Republic of Kiribati for the period of March 24–May 5, 2009.

The lower parasitism at Kiritimati may result from a simplified food web due to over fishing.
This study surveyed coral reefs on uninhabited atolls in the northern Line Islands to provide a baseline of reef community structure, and on increasingly populated atolls to document changes associated with human activities.
This paper is dedicated to the current and past generations of people who have lived on Kiritimati Atoll and who depend on the conservation, sustainable use and enrichment of their life-giving plants and animals and their local knowledge, as a basis for their continued habitation of this unique and beautiful but challenging island environment.
The guidelines focus on simple field methods that can be easily applied to detect changes over time in populations and productivity of threatened species and other key species, of which Kiritimati has many.
The transportation and disposal of hazardous and radioactive wastes can be a project critical activity and needs to be planned well. Consideration should be given to removing radioactive material from a project site as soon as it is ready to be moved instead of combining it’s transportation with other hazardous wastes.
