Obtaining High Quality Data in Developing Countries The Challenges in the South Pacific

The reality of Sea-Level rise on the Islands of Kiribati The reality of Sea-Level rise on the Islands of Kiribati. It is the same story through out the South Pacific.

Sea walls constructed to try and fend out the rising level of the sea in Kiribati.

The Etno-cultural definition of the South Pacific Islands The Etno-cultural definition of the South Pacific Islands. Further separated into Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.

Indications are that this will improve with the many projects for PICs NMS already taking place in the near future. But compare this network with New Zealand, Australia and Asia, you will see the big difference that is a norm between developed and developing countries like ours.
