1. The current estimate of the total catch by the 31 FSM purse seine and longline vessels within the WCPFC Convention Area for the year 2009 is 20,195 mt of skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye. The key target species accounted for 97% (predominantly by the purse seiners), with the remaining 1% being non-target species. Approximately 95% of the total catch is by purse-seine gear and 5% by longline gear, which are the only two gear types employed by FSM vessels within the Convention Area. In 2009, FSM employed 31 vessels (6 purse seine and 25 longline vessels). The total catch of FSM-flagged vessels in the Convention Area for 2009 was 29,195 mt. 2. The 2009 catch by FSM's domestic fleet was predominantly (87%) skipjack (116,208 mt), with yellowfin at 12% (2,257 mt) and bigeye <1% (93 mt), and other species of <1%. In general, catch for our domestic fleet within the Convention Area has increased 55% over 2008, and 30% over 2007 catches. 3. Totals for FSM-EEZ purse-seine, longline, and pole and line catches in 2009 cannot be reported to SC6 as FSM is having difficulties with its data/database for positive reporting; a resolution is being pursued with assistance from SPC. 4. The FSM Observer program operates with a pool of 32 observers. In 2009, there were 119 successful placements, including 20 aboard longliners and 99 on purse seiner vessels. The sudden increase of trip numbers by observers for 2009 is mainly due to the FAD closure period, when approximately 87% of all observer trips for 2009 were made. Coverage for observers per fleet and gear type will be reported in FSM's SC6 Annual Report, as soon as we are able to calculate observed sea days versus the number of days fished in zone. 5. NORMA achieved port sampling coverage rates of 82% for purse seiners and 96% for longliners in 2009, based on unloading records. NORMA continues to strive for 100% port sampling coverage of longline transhipments in FSM ports.

Abstract:This article traces the response of the New Zealand government to successive military coups in Fiji in 1987, 2000, and 2006 in the specific context of rugby contacts between the two countries and the strong nexus between rugby and political power in Fiji. It argues that the emergence of market-driven and globally focused sporting structures over the last three decades has fundamentally altered the relationship between sport and politics in New Zealand and the nature of sanctions it is willing to deploy—especially when compared with earlier debates over bilateral contact with apartheid South Africa.

Abstract:Much popular and academic analysis of Pacific politics, especially on issues of gender, juxtaposes foreign “Western” norms and institutions with “traditional” beliefs and customs. Despite considerable scholarship debunking these caricatures, they persist and indeed have (re)gained salience in debates about the absence of women in parliamentary politics. In this article, we critique this framing by describing how senior women politicians practice a form of “quiet” or “implicit” feminism. Drawing on in-depth interviews with three senior politicians, Dr Hilda Heine of the Marshall Islands, Deputy Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata‘afa of Sāmoa, and Dame Carol Kidu of Papua New Guinea, as well as with other observers and supporters of their careers, we illustrate how these women position themselves as pragmatists—as neither the champions of liberal feminist principles that some local activists and international donors would like nor as conservative as most of their male colleagues. We further show that both their articulation of and their relationship to feminism are remarkably similar to those of other senior women politicians from elsewhere in the world who eschew the label but pursue substantive representation. In making this claim, we aim to reframe understandings of Pacific feminism by shifting the focus away from the Western/non-Western binary and instead toward a distinction between women who seek change from within established parliamentary systems and those who seek to push an agenda from the outside.

Abstract:In this literature review, we analyze existing research on climate change and its impact on mental health and well-being, primarily among Pacific Islanders. To compensate for a lack of research in this area, we also address some of the projected mental health implications resulting from disasters linked to climate change, such as flooding, hurricanes, and cyclones. This broader scope enables the identification of areas where more research into mental health concerns related to climate change in the Pacific is needed. In closing, we provide recommendations for further research into the mental health and well-being of Pacific peoples and suggest ways to develop resilience to the effects of climate change.
