The apparent changes in production for the three years sometimes represents real change in production, but it can also reflect a change in the methodology for how the production is measured (hopefully an improvement). In table above, the production levels for coastal commercial, coastal subsistence, and freshwater change significantly between the years, but some of that change is due to the way in which the production was estimated. For example, for the 2014 estimate of coastal fisheries production, the results of
the 2010 HIES were available.

The development of this NCAP is important in determining the level of ODS consumption in the country. More specifically the NCAP:
The review attempts to identify gaps and then make recommendations for relevant legislation to improve and/or clarify existing ones and improve protection/management of marine turtles.
To help with the identification of legislation gaps, a team at SPREP constructed a matrix of legislation from existing legislation in the region dealing with turtles as well as creating new ones based on available information.
This report focuses only on Rio +20, Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and the Mauritius Strategy for Implementation (MSI) of the BarbadosProgramme of Action (BPOA). Tuvalu is a signatory and party to these international agreements and has been trying to realize the global dream for sustainable development
Besides the observation that poor households are more vulnerable to negative shocks because they lack the resources to respond, the study also find that they are also more likely to reside in areas highly exposed to disasters (closer to the coasts and at lower elevation) and have less ability to migrate (between and within the islands).
All contents described in the printed map are included in the digital data set which is constructed by Arc/GIS.
Tuvalu's shallow marine environments are dominantly fringing and patch reefs. Five of the islands are true coral atolls, with a continuous eroded reef platform surrounding a central lagoon, three islands are comprised of a single islet made up of sand and coral materials (McLean & Hosking, 1991).
Based on the findings of the study, a number of key lessons emerged. The lessons learned from the study of the FCA are consistent with lessons learned from evaluating past MPA projects from other countries. The most significant of the lessons learned from the Funafuti experience are as follows:
Part I: Biodiversity of Tuvaluan Reef Fishes
Part II: Marine Resource Assessment in Conservation Area
Part III: Documented Tuvalu Marine Life Inventory
Addressing rainfall trends, the frequency of droughts, La Niña influences and the relationship between rainfall and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the small Pacific country of Tuvalu.
The results of this analysis challenge perceptions of island loss, showing islands are dynamic features that will persist as sites for habitation over the next century, presenting alternate opportunities for adaptation that embrace the heterogeneity of island types and their dynamics.
A marine survey for Tuvalu in the waters around all nine atolls and low reef islands, namely, Nanumea, Niutao, Nanumanga, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, Funafuti, Nukulaelae, Niulakita
Te Kete comes at a time when Tuvalu is living through a shift of paradigm to the ne normal resulting from the Covid19 pandemic. We are looking more inwards into our own potential, optimizing the returns from our atoll endowments and most of all our human resources to provide sustainable livelihoods.
Water pollution, evident by negative values of redox potential in waters, occurs at the lagoonal coast located near the densely populated area of Fongafale Islet. Therefore, this study is one of the many that are urgently needed in order to develop and implement countermeasures to protect these areas against coastal water pollution.
