SPREP: Samoa State of the Environment
Project Dates : April 01, 2012 - August 31, 2012

A workshop was held with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) in Apia, Samoa in April 2012 to develop the initial stage of assessment for Samoa's State of Environment (SoE), which is currently underway. Key experts from MNRE and SPREP defined six key habitats in Samoa: cloud forest and uplands, lowlands, coastal strand, nearshore marine, offshore marine, and rivers and streams. The health of each of these habitats (as determined by key indicators) will then be combined to describe the overall condition of Samoa’s environment and culturally important natural resources.

Scientists find key to vegetarian diet for fish raised in aquaculture
August 29, 2012
As warning bells clang about the decline of ocean fisheries and contaminant levels in fish, scientists from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science have found the key to raising some marine fish on a vegetarian diet. The study found that cobia—a fast-growing fish well-adapted to commercial aquaculture—can grow just as well on a plant-based diet as a diet of fishmeal, as long as the essential amino acid taurine is added to the mix.
