Review of analysis of legislation Niue : phase 2 part 1

Island and Ocean Ecosystems

Powell, Graham Bruce

The Niue Village Councils Act is out dated and its effectiveness is affected by references to former offices and the previous colonial authority and administration. There are concerns about the means by which by-laws can be brought into force. Other aspects of this law mitigate against making use of it to provide for the effective management of marine protected areas in villages.

Kiribati IWP/SPREP

The International Waters Programme is implementing the Strategic Action Plan for the countries of the South Pacific. Activities in Kiribati under the IWP are focused on waste management issues and the effects that waste disposal has on water supply and coastal waters. Pilot projects, particularly involving the Bikenibeu West Community, are proposed to address the fundamental causes of terrestrial derived wastes at community level. At a national level it is proposed to review the structure, functions and operations of the waste management authorities and agencies on Tarawa. This review will include an assessment of institutional capacities, synergies and inter-linkages with the objective of delivering an efficient and sustainable waste management service. Revenue generation options to promote the financial sustainability of the services on Tarawa shall be a feature of the proposed review.

Musburger, Craig

The American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (“DMWR”)began working with local communities on the island of Tutuila in 2001 to develop the CommunityBased Fisheries Management Program (“CBFMP”). Through a series of meetings with representatives from select villages, DMWR sought the voluntary participation of communities in an effort to manage and monitor their own coral reef resources. The program has grown to include seven villages, each of which is responsible for all aspects of managing and monitoring their own resources, with technical assistance from DMWR. Committees from each village have designed and implemented management plans which vary from village to village, but generally include some type of restriction on fishing activity on part or all of the reef fronting their villages. Many of the participating villages have reported anecdotally that they have seen improvement in their resources since the program’s inception, but as of yet, there has been no effort devoted towards scientifically monitoring these areas. As such, a robust, quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of the management efforts has not been possible in any of the participating villages. While it may be too late to obtain useful “baseline” data that shows the state of the marine resources prior to the implementation of the management plans, it is imperative that monitoring commence as soon as possible to allow for future analysis of the trends in the health of the reefs of the villages participating in the CBFMP.
