Tuvalu‘s total marine fisheries catches within its EEZ were reconstructed for the years 1950 to 2009. This reconstruction accounts for officially un- and underreported catches of artisanal and subsistence fishery sectors as well as the baitfish used in the pole-and-line tuna fishery. FAO data were used in combination with data from fish markets, regional reports and consumption data. Total reconstructed catches were estimated to be 69,631 t over the six decades, which is approximately 5 times larger than the amount reported by the FAO on behalf of Tuvalu (12,241 t).

The 2012 Population and Housing census of Tuvalu is the third census conducted by the Central Statistics Division since Tuvalu gained political independence in 1978. This document is the analytical report that provides the population and housing information.
This report presents the preliminary results of the Tuvalu Population and Housing Mini-Census 2017. The Census provides a snapshot of the country at the specified night of 12th November, 2017. It is the first census to be held in Tuvalu within a 5 year period at most followed a 10 year time-frame since the country’s independence in 1978, it is called a ‘Mini-Census’ as it does not cover all of the usual process requiring of the censuses proceedings.

Tuvalu faces real challenges in relation to the management of its human wastes (fekau o tino). This is despite decades of promotion of the use of water sealed flush toilets and septic tank systems as the most hygienic and safe way to dispose of human wastes. These systems were promoted as an alternative to the use of the beach for human waste disposal.

As part of the Coastal Health Monitoring component of the Tuvalu IW R2R Project, baseline water quality surveys and analysis were carried from 14th to 17th September 2018. The coastal health monitoring program is designed to characterise ecological health of, and assess causal links between land based activities, and algal blooms and ciguatera occurrences in the Fogafale lagoon adjacent to populated areas of Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. Baseline assessments of the Tafua pond, adjacent to the IW R2R demonstration dry-litter piggery site, was also conducted.
This Tuna Fishery Report Card provides high-level advice on the current status of Pacific tuna fisheries in relation to the goals, indicators and strategies adopted by Forum Leaders in 2015 in the Regional Roadmap for Sustainable Pacific Fisheries. The report card takes account of the work of the Taskforce on Increasing Economic Returns from Fisheries, which was established by the Forum Leaders to develop a programme that will deliver real results within 5 years. Economic indicators reflect Taskforce-agreed targets.
