The Afulilo Hydro Power Augmentarion Project was designed specifically to assist with the Upolu power sysrem stability. Demand for energy has been growing in line with grcwth in maximum demand and, while the Afulilo scheme is producing more energy than anticipated, the sustainable enery outflow of the present scheme is limited by warer inflows, reservoir storage volume and insralled geneftrtion capacity. Because the Afulilo scheme is rhe only hydro scheme in Samoa with carry over storage, augmentation of the Afulilo scheme is panicularly important to increase dry season capaclry to reduce the amounr of installed diesel capaciry ro reduce overall fuel consump tion and to lessen th" dry season peak in fuel consumption.
A review of coastal processes and analysis of historical coastal change in the vicinity of Apia, Western Samoa

Solomon, Steve M.

1994
The area in the immediate vicinity of Apia, Western Samoa was studied through the use of air photo interpretations, literature reviews and ground surveys in order to develop an understanding of the processes which influence the coastal and nearshore sedimentary systems. The goal of the study was to provide information on which decisions regarding sand mining and other uses of the coast can be based. In the course of this study it was found that the seaward- facing shoreline on the Mulinu'u Peninsula has undergone variable degrees of change between 1954 and 1990. The most distal portions of the Peninsula (towards the Apia Observatory grounds) have experienced more erosion than locations closer to the town centre. The most severely eroded areas appear to be related to local current patterns on the reef top. The lesser and more variable coastal changes noted near town could be related to more extensive and persistent shore protection rather than any natural causes.
Guam invasive species management plan interim 2017-2019: interim
BRB

2017
The 2017-2019 Interim Guam Invasive Species Management Plan (GISMP) expresses the overarching goals and priorities of the Guam Invasive Species Council (GISC or Council). The Guam Invasive Species Act of 2011 (Public Law 31-43) established the Council as Guam’s lead entity in coordinating with local, regional, national, and international jurisdic¬tions in the fight against alien invasive species. Although the GISC is in its infancy stages of organization, it draws from the collective knowledge, past research, and progress of its members in establishing the Council’s goals and priorities. Priorities and goals identified in this plan reflect current and near-term resources, member capabilities, and status of certain invasive species. Recommendations contained in the Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii (RBP), the 2016-2018 National Inva¬sive Species Council’s Management Plan, the Regional Invasive Species Council (RISC), and various stakeholders were considered in the development of this plan. The Council also considered developments under the purview of the Hawaii Invasive Species Council and its 2015-2020 HISC Strategic Plan.
Be On the LookOut (BOLO): Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (Linneaus, 1758) Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae

2014
Recent PPQ survey interceptions of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) confirms that this serious pest of coconut palms is established in the Hickam AFB area. A joint PPQ– HDOA effort has recently discovered a large compost heap at Mamala Bay golf course containing all stages of development. Native to southern Asia, this scarab has caused extensive damage to coconut palms on Guam since their discovery in 2009.

Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment, Samoa Gov.

2010
The Government of Samoa under its Environmental Policy Framework established rules and procedures to be followed under IAMP Phase 2 with regard to environmental assessment, monitoring and mitigation of potential negative impacts. For projects with no, or low but acceptable environmental impacts, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) may issue a waiver to the proponent from the further requirements of the draft EIA Regulations. In issuing a waiver, the CEO MNRE will rely on the advice of the Assistant CEO, PUMA. Such works are to be covered by Codes of Environmental Practice (COEP) provisions.
Samoa Tsunami rapid environmental impact assessment report: draft October 14th 2009

Ifopo, Pulea Etiseli

2009
A rapid assessment of the environmental impacts of the 29 September tsunami was conducted by a multi-agency team from 3 to 14 October, 2009. Fourteen “green” and 10 “brown” environmental variables were selected and measured based on the experience of the survey team and similar reports from elsewhere. During a tour of the affected area on Upolu by car and on foot those “assessable” variables were scored “high” (over two thirds affected), “medium” (over one third, less than two thirds affected), “low” (less than a third affected) or zero (unaffected). Manono and Savaii were surveyed by air with the former showing evidence of some damage and the later apparently none or very little. The most affected areas in Upolu were villages in the Aleipata, Lepa and Falealili districts with the most obvious indicators of the tsunami’s impact being solid waste (sometimes resulting from the complete destruction of a village), erosion of the beach and fore-shore and the (expected) impact on marine resources. Other environmental variables assessed also showed similar patterns. Impacts on a wharf/dry dock facility are also described (including lost fuel drums) as are the possible environmental implications of new settlements created by displaced persons (mainly revolving around sanitation, drainage and water supply).

The proposed Afulilo Power Scheme in Western Samoa involves taking water from the headwaters of the Fagatoloa River and passing it through a 4 MW power station to discharge into FagaJoa Bay. The proposed storage in the Afulilo basin offers the only prospect for significant hydro-electric power development in Western Samoa.
