- Population
control measures in traditional Marshallese Culture:
- a review of
19th century European observations
- by Dirk H.R. Spennemann
- The environmental
conditions, coupled with the extremely limited land area make the Marshall
Islands marginal settlement land. At a time when all food had
to be produced on the islands or caught in the sea, the population of
a given atoll could not be allowed to rise beyond the atoll's carrying
capacity. Hence a number of population control measures had been developed.
These are discussed in this paper.

management and mitigation of the impact of tropical cyclones:
- Examples
from Tonga, the Marshall Islands and Australia
- compiled by Dirk H.R. Spennemann
- This paper addresses
the issue of the impact of typhoons on coastal sites and the implications
these present and future impacts are likely to have on policy and practice
of cultural resource management. Three case studies (Tonga, Marshall
Islands and North Queensland), have been drawn on to show the effects
of storm surges on sites. The impact of the mitigation measures (if
any) is described and placed into the context of changing global climate
patterns. A number of management constraints deriving from issues of
traditional ownership and conflicting values are discussed and potential
solutions are advanced
- Perceptions
of Heritage Eco-tourism by Micronesian Decision Makers
.
- by Dirk H.R. Spennemann, David W. Look and
Kristy Graham
- If cultural and heritage
eco-tourism is to succeed, co-ordination and planning is required. This
begs the question: What are the attitudes of Micronesian Government
officials toward ecotourism and towards cultural heritage sites? The
symposium provided the opportunity to poll participant decision makers.
This report summarises the findings of two polls administered before
and after the Heritage Eco-Tourism Symposium, on Rota, Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) from 28 February to 3 March 2000.
