Detail of Damage Assessment Report in South Malaita, Solomon Island
This is a result of day 2 training exercise.
Data Management System Project
This dataset holds three reports on invasive species in Micronesia. . The objectives were three-fold: * To identify species on the islands that are presently causing problems * To identify species that, even though they are not presently a major problem, could spread to other islands where they are not present, potentially causing problems * To look for invasive species known to cause problems in ecosystems similar to the islands visited.
From February - April 2024, the National Environment Service and Te Ipukarea Society conducted consultations with various stakeholders for the RESPONSE project. Documents from these consultations have been filed here.
This report presents the latest update on the state ofenvironment in PNG. Although some information is scarce,the report provides a snapshot of our environment, giventhe diverse pressures and threats we are facing from bothnatural and anthropogenic causes. The SoE report uses a reporting model to describethe state of environment in PNG. It identifies drivingforces and pressures that result in the current state ofenvironment, and suggests a potential response strategy.Recommendations are presented for future legislative orother actions
This report focuses on addressing the critical challenges of sustainable water resources management on Tutuila, the main island in the Territory of American Samoa. It presents an updated conceptual hydrogeological model of the island's groundwater and surface water resources by integrating existing hydrological information with recently acquired subsurface datasets, shedding light on the complex nature of Tutuila's hydrogeology, which varies significantly across different locations on the island.
This report documents the UH monitoring network which provides hydrologic parameters, such as precipitation, stream flow, and aquifer response, in small island developing communities like Tutuila, American Samoa, where water resources are limited. It highlights the collaborative efforts between the University of Hawaii's Water Resources Research Center and the American Samoa Power Authority to establish a new monitoring network for weather, stream gauging, and aquifer data, providing essential information for sustainable water resource management and various applications
Soil Survey and analysis by Hawaii State Office, Soil Conservation Service, US Department of Agriculture, Honolulu, Hawaii. The field survey was completed in November 1981.

The Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (IFR/EA) is a study led by the Honolulu District of the Pacific Ocean Division of USACE, with the American Samoa Government as the non-Federal sponsor. It focuses on addressing flood risk in the Tafuna-Leone Plain of Tutuila Island, which is densely populated and vulnerable to frequent flooding due to heavy rainfall, shallow stream channels, and various development-related factors.
This Watershed Assessment (WA) was initiated in response to the damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Gita in February 2018, which led to infrastructure damage, power outages, and widespread flooding in American Samoa. The assessment recognizes the resilience of Pacific Islanders' cultures and traditional governance and aims to provide recommendations, both within and outside of USACE authorities, to enhance the resilience of American Samoa to future natural hazards.
