This list of indicators was developed through the Inform project at SPREP for use by Pacific Islands countries (PICs) to meet their national and international reporting obligations. The indicators are typically adopted by PICs for their State of Environment reports and are intended to be re-used for a range of MEA and SDG reporting targets. The indicators have been designed to be measurable and repeatable so that countries can track key aspect of environmental health over time.
Summary table for the SPREP core national environment indicators. Includes theme and indicator definition, purpose and desired outcome.
This report reviews available information on the adverse effects of 14 alien vertebrates considered to be ‘significant invasive species’ on islands of the South Pacific and Hawaii.
Suggestions are made in this report for restoring particular islands; searches should be made to identify those islands where it appears feasible to restore and maintain indigenous vegetation and wildlife.
This is a basic geographical map that shows size and general topography features.
The objective of this regional meeting is to build the capacity of the 14 project target countries, with an aim to build an open data community amongst the users of the national data portals and inform outputs. This is intended to improve south-south collaboration, enhance the opportunity for sustainability and increase the feeling of ownership and belonging amongst the project countries.
This will be delivered by real world application of Inform developed processes and tools, focused on a common area to all countries; protected areas.

This is 2008 Agricultural census data for American Samoa.
This paper presents over 100 radiocarbon dating results for Tutuila and Manu'a in American Samoa, contributing to various aspects of Samoan archaeology.
This report presents findings from the analysis of radiocarbon dates and volcanic stratigraphy in the Leone Volcanics region of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, shedding light on the timing and spatial distribution of late-Holocene volcanic events. Key insights include identifying a distinct reddish ash stratum dating to approximately AD 650-750 as the most recent eruptive event, along with observations on the source and sequence of ash deposits, suggesting multiple eruptive events from both seaward and inland craters, potentially continuing as recently as AD 1300.
