Abstract:
This thesis examines the effects of coastal protection structures upon the sandy coastline of Rarotonga, Cook Islands. The coastline is surrounded by a fringing coral reef which is continuous except for six passages. Water from the open sea enters the lagoonal area by waves breaking over the roof and propagates towards the shore as reformed waves. A detailed analysis of beach change and adjustments in front of and adjacent to coastal protection structures is presented. While there has been a substantial increase in data in the nearshore oceanographic regime and the nearshore coastal zone on Rarotonga, generally there has been a lack of monitoring of coastal structures, and in the effects on tropical coastal environments. Five sites in the west and southern coast of Rarotonga were selected for monitoring. All sites were located on sandy beach coastlines. An examination of the beach sediment at each site by determination of settling velocities in a 2 metre water column using a MacArthur Rapid Sediment Analyser indicated a medium grain size range. This finding differs from earlier measurements for the Rarotongan Resort site when predominantly coarse grain sediments were found. Such a finding has impact implications for the stability of coastal sediments. The principal method of data collection was by repeated profile surveys over a ten week period between May and July 1995. The profiles were examined first, by the conventional method of profile plots and secondly by excursion distance analysis. The excursion distance analysis was used to examine temporal and spatial variations for each site. During the study period a storm of swells originating from a southern source area brought unusually high waves in the seas around the Southern Cook Islands on the 8th and 9th June. All study sites were affected by up to 6 metre swells with energetic wave periods in the range of 10-15 seconds. The impact of the swell storm helped generate results for this study. Five factors were noted from this study as important to the way the beach profile in front and adjacent to coastal protection structures responded in the short term to the incident coastal processes during the study period. These are the position of the coastal protection structure in the beach profile, the structural configuration of the coastal structure, how the structure is tied in with the land behind it, the seaward volume of beach sediment and the sediment characteristic within the foreshore. Most of the foreshore adjustment occurred in the lower and middle foreshore with flattening and steepening respectively taking place during the high energy swell storm. In the recovery period the profiles tended to broaden out. A spatial analysis of the field data showed both along-shore and across-shore variations in the morphology of the beach and the topography of the lagoon floor. Movement of sediment in discrete amounts were identified in generally three positions in the beach profile: lower foreshore, nearshore and the mid-lagoonal area. Following the storms across-shore movement of sediment was identified, presumably rehabilitating areas in front of the coastal structures. Overall it was observed that beach change in front of coastal structures was similar to beaches without structures if there is abundant sediment offshore. The erosional response to storms, however, was typically different with bars forming offshore where coastal structures had been established.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is about tivaivai, which are unquilted quilts made and used by Cook Islands women in the Cook Islands ceremonial economy. They are the paramount form of valuable in ritual exchanges during kinship ���life��� events, and other public gifting events, which draw people together via translocal and transnational kin and wider social networks. How Cook Islands women use tivaivai as the gift and/or as decoration in these ceremonial arenas is part of the way Cook Islanders do economy as a local model of livelihood (Gudeman 2001, 2008). Such a model is founded on the material and nonmaterial aspects of the base, as in the priorities dictated by a group���s cultural framework. This is an expanded, more encompassing notion of economy, and necessarily moves beyond standard Western economic theory and the centrality of the market. I argue that tivaivai are semiotic media of value (Turner 2006b, 2008; cf. Graeber 2001), so they are iconic valuables, and indexical symbols of the structural properties of the Cook Islands system of social relations. As such weighted valuables, tivaivai are models of and models for how to be a Cook Islands woman and mother. As the gift and as decoration of ritual venues, tivaivai materialise the key values of kinship and aro���a (love) which orientate the way Cook Islanders exist and act in the world, so tivaivai are the access to and axis of prestige as mana for women. This relationship among value, values, and valuables is also important, because as such weighted valuables, tivaivai dignify the gifting of lesser valuables in a ritual complex, which is deployed in the various types of Cook Islands ceremonial events to transform people and objects. These lesser valuables include envelope wrapped money and food. I argue that the gifting of envelope wrapped money is as much about the reality of living in a capitalist political economy like New Zealand and the formulation of subaltern strategies to get by and prosper in New Zealand, as it is about the display of Cook Islands values, womanliness, mothering, and the pursuit of mana.

Abstract:
This multi-media art project investigates the notion of Cook Islands humour, and subsequently place, through the context of the religious pageant Nuku. This pageant has been practiced annually in the Cook Islands for over one hundred and sixty years. While it is not a pageant based on humour, I suggest, through experience and research, that many of the characteristics of Cook Islands humour are revealed in Nuku. The aim of this project is not to recreate the narrative set out in the Nuku pageant but to use this event to explore ways to visually express the humour of the Cook Islands. After researching and experimenting in two dimensional mediums, my emphasis changed to experimenting with three dimensional mediums, incorporating materials that have connotative meanings in Cook Islands society.

Abstract:
This multimedia visual arts project investigates, from a personal perspective, changes in the context of Cook Islands’ women’s adornment. In a modern world, changes in adornment have become disconnected from cultural traditions and so this study explores how over time evolving patterns of adornment are employed by women to identify their place in society. Observations have been drawn from the developing relationship between the researcher and the women in Rarotonga, the Cook Islands’ community where this project took place. These observations are documented explored and articulated primarily through the medium of photography, and principally by way of the snapshot and the portrait. This examination of Cook Islands’ women and their adornment from traditional adornment to the contemporary influences of modern day fashion has further been explored through a visual response to the relationships between the women and the layers of their adornment. This visual arts project is compromised of an exegesis with a value of 20% and a practical component of 80%.

Full text
Abstract:
This research is an exploration of the politics and governance of resource use and environmental conservation in the geographical context of Tongareva – a remote atoll in the northern Cook Islands, eastern South Pacific – with a specific focus on the harvest of a species of giant clam, pasua (Tridacna maxima). The thesis examines a range of management practices, social relations and ecological conditions in order to demonstrate the socio-political-ecological nexus that produces pasua management on the island. Theoretically, the dissertation engages with recent debates around the social and the environmental as mutually constitutive domains, elaborating this relation by demonstrating that the use and conservation of pasua is negotiated in and through space. In particular, the thesis examines the complex interplay and co-constitution of so-called customary mechanisms for resource management by examining the politics surrounding the practice of rahui, a form of harvest closure. I explore how exchange networks, authority structures and economic changes intersect to determine and shape the politics of pasua harvest and rahui on Tongareva and place both the island and pasua in very specific ways. The research combines an analysis of oral ecological histories, key player interviews, participant observation along with findings from a comprehensive survey of pasua abundance and distribution in the lagoon. It pursues this combination of data collection not in order to use ecological ‘facts’ to verify social ‘beliefs’ but because it sees such knowledges as different but equally valid – if differently empowered – forms of resource knowledge.  The dissertation also concludes that conservation in particular localities is never limited to events that occur in that context alone, but rather is connected to myriad other places by the movement of people, ideas and species.

Abstract:
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are having remarkable effects and promise potential solutions to many of the South Pacific islands’ geographic, economic and social challenges. Access to ICTs is also an increasingly important factor for education and training in the region. While the Pacific eLearning Observatory, supported by the University of the South Pacific, has been monitoring the development and access to ICT in education across the 12 university’s campuses, studies that specifically examine the attitudes and understanding of educators working on the islands of the South Pacific towards the use of ICT in their profession, as well as for their professional development, are rare. This study aims at addressing the gap in the literature by examining the professional development of facilitators working in blended learning environment across the remote islands of the Cook Islands. The research outcomes of this study are based on the analysis of in-depth, semi-structured interviews, and the theoretical foundation of this thesis is grounded in the social and situated theory of learning. By closely examining the facilitators’ perceptions, the project sheds new light on the still little recognised concept of online communities of practice in teaching and learning. The central finding of the study is that participation in online communities of practice offers on-going opportunities for learning, development and support, and reduces the feeling of remoteness and isolation associated with the geographical conditions of the South Pacific region.

Abstract:
Abstract The Cook Islands (CI) possesses within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) a massive field of polymetallic nodules representing one of the world’s largest undeveloped cobalt deposits, along with large quantities of other metals critical to achieving global energy transition targets. In February of 2022 the Seabed Minerals Authority (SBMA) of the CI granted Moana Minerals a license to conduct our nodule exploration program. This paper describes how Moana Minerals chose to approach conducting exploration activities, one of the greatest challenges to Deep Sea Mining (DSM) development and the securing of the social license to advance to eventual mining of the resources, in an unconventional manner. The remote location of the project poses logistical challenges in mobilizing to and operating in the region and is a significant cost driver. Historically, exploration campaigns mobilized large vessels from mainland Europe, the Americas, and Asia as this model works well when contemplating long duration and widely temporally spaced campaigns without the need to revisit. Moana Minerals, when considering these challenges determined a multi-year deep sea mining (DSM) exploration program conducted in such a remote location can be better optimized by the deployment of a smaller yet highly capable "exploration optimized" vessel that is dedicated to the task and is based full time in the Cook Islands.

Abstract:
Abstract The Cook Islands (CI) possesses within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) a massive field of polymetallic nodules representing one of the world's largest undeveloped cobalt deposits, along with large quantities of other metals critical to achieving global energy transition targets. In February of 2022 the Seabed Minerals Authority (SBMA) of the CI granted licenses to three companies to conduct nodule exploration programs. This paper describes the process adopted by Moana Minerals, one of the license holders, to define new ways of conducting exploration which are focused on addressing the greatest challenge to Deep Sea Mining (DSM) development – that of securing the social license to advance to eventual mining of the resources. While it is generally true for any DSM project, obtaining license to operate within the EEZ of a sovereign nation requires even more focus on socio-economic and cultural concerns. Hence Moana Minerals invested even before exploration license award in the completion of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) scoping study. This exercise helped to define the key questions and concerns, the range of stakeholders in the ESIA process, and began to construct the Ecosystem Based Model which is the heart of our ESIA program. We describe our employment of the increasingly adopted best practice of Ecosystem Based Management (EBM), which considers the entire ecosystem and its services, and the complex associated interactions for a "whole of system" approach. We discuss how this model is used to help communicate relationships between potential stressors associated with seabed mining and ecosystem responses, as well as how it is used to identify thresholds and guide development and adaptation of ecosystem management approaches. Given the challenges of the remoteness of the Cook Islands, limited exploration assets in the region, and ongoing supply chain delays and limitations, our early analysis of how best to execute an EBM-based program concluded that a dedicated research vessel properly outfitted with a full suite of scientific gear would be key to success. We describe our program to economically develop such an exploration system through repurposing an offshore support vessel, with an aim towards maximum suitability for Cook Islands-based exploration and other deep sea exploration work in the region as well as other potential high value regional applications. Finally, we discuss operations to date using this critical exploration-enabling asset.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes concepts to minimize the plume generated by unwanted sediments collected along with manganese nodules during hydraulic mining operations. The concept consists of two novel technologies: separating all sediment from the collected nodule slurry to eliminate sediment from entering the riser and lift system, thereby reducing, or eliminating a midwater plume, and subsea electrocoagulation (EC) to create rapidly settling flocs of sediment being discharged from the seafloor collector. The first approach involves designing a gravity separator (hopper) whereby the larger particles fall through an outlet and are entrained with clean water before entering the riser, while all the sediment and water collected with the nodules exits at the hopper overflow. To prevent sediment from being entrained with the nodules, a "reverse hydrocyclone" and secondary hopper is incorporated in the underflow circuit to help maintain a positive pressure differential between the riser inlet and the hopper during operations. The second approach employs the marinization of proven wastewater treatment EC technology to create large metalliferous flocs which attract the sediment causing rapid settling when the slurry is discharged aft of the collector. Work reported here includes numerical (CFD) confirmation of the separator performance, and experimental demonstration of the EC application, as well as techno-economic assessments of the cost impacts of implementing these technologies. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E), and with contributions of sediment for the EC tests by The Metals Company from the Clarion Clipperton Zone and Ocean Minerals, LLC from the Cook Islands EEZ.

Abstract:
Around the world, urban development and densification leads to the Urban Heat Islands (UHI) effect, in which cities are warmer than adjoining rural areas. Cool pavements have been recommended as a mitigating strategy for the UHI effect. However, the spatial extent over which cool pavements need to be applied to achieve widespread mitigation has received little attention. A previously developed urban microclimatic model for the Power Ranch community in suburban Phoenix, Arizona, was used to investigate this question. The microclimatic model is used to investigate the effects of urban densification for the meteorological conditions at 5:00 PM on August 13, 2015. In the modeled scenario, the heights of the buildings were increased from 5 m to 10 m, a large, central park was redeveloped as a parking lot, and a reflective pavement was implemented in the parking lot. Both localized and downwind air temperature effects at 2m of this further densification were quantified in the modelling effort. For the lower building height, using typical concrete to redevelop the park as a parking lot increased the 2 m air temperature directly over and downstream by about 0.20℃. When a reflective concrete parking lot was used instead, the 2m air temperature decreased by 0.20℃ over and downstream. At 10 m building heights, the reflective parking lot decreased the 2 m air temperature by 0.20℃, however, its effect was more localized with less benefit for downstream areas. Thus, urban form with taller buildings affects the airflow, which requires a more distributed application of reflective surfaces to mitigate UHI.

Abstract:
The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis), native to the southeastern USA and northeastern Mexico, has become a major economic threat to the grape and wine industry of California, USA, due to its role as a vector for the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. This pest has also spread to Hawaii, Cook Islands, Easter Island and French Polynesia. In California, chemical control measures have led to imidacloprid resistance, necessitating sustainable management options. Classical biological control has been effective, particularly using egg parasitoids from the genus Cosmocomoidea. The most successful species, Cosmocomoidea ashmeadi, has achieved parasitism rates of 80-100% and significantly reduced H. vitripennis populations in California and French Polynesia. Cosmocomoidea walkerjonesi offers complementary control, particularly in cooler regions. These parasitoids present promising long-term solutions for managing H. vitripennis populations.

Abstract:
This publication presents eight case studies of recent ADB projects that highlight innovative interventions and effective approaches to reduce poverty. The case studies­ include projects in Bangladesh, the Cook Islands, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and the People’s Republic of China. Together they focus on four themes: ensuring equality and inclusion, caring for the environment, securing food for all, and sustaining prosperity through access to finance. The publication builds on the first volume of poverty reduction case studies published in 2019.
