CSV file containing the global distribution of hydrothermal vent fields in WGS84 coordinate system.

CSV file containing species richness values and mapping parameters for marine species (with a probability of occurrence > 0.5) derived from AquaMaps. A total of 33,512 species were used in the generation of this file.
Coordinate system is WGS84 (ESPG 4326) with coordinates expressed in longitude and latitude.

Fields in this file are:
C-Square Code: unique identifier for grid
Longitude: longitude in decimal degrees
Latitude: latitude in decimal degrees
Species Count: number of species modeled at given point

A record of diesel consumption on Kiritimati Island in the year 2010

The pilot fragility assessment in South Tarawa, Kiribati is part of the regional technical assistance Supporting ADB’s Engagement in Fragile Situations.

The purpose of the PLA (Participatory Learning and Action) was mainly to exchange information at the community level and discuss issues and potential low cost solutions to address root causes of waste issues.

The lower parasitism at Kiritimati may result from a simplified food web due to over fishing.

This study surveyed coral reefs on uninhabited atolls in the northern Line Islands to provide a baseline of reef community structure, and on increasingly populated atolls to document changes associated with human activities.

This paper is dedicated to the current and past generations of people who have lived on Kiritimati Atoll and who depend on the conservation, sustainable use and enrichment of their life-giving plants and animals and their local knowledge, as a basis for their continued habitation of this unique and beautiful but challenging island environment.

The guidelines focus on simple field methods that can be easily applied to detect changes over time in populations and productivity of threatened species and other key species, of which Kiritimati has many.

The transportation and disposal of hazardous and radioactive wastes can be a project critical activity and needs to be planned well. Consideration should be given to removing radioactive material from a project site as soon as it is ready to be moved instead of combining it’s transportation with other hazardous wastes.
