In sections 5 to 9 below aspects of sea safety in Tuvalu, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, and Kiribati are examined. As the information collected and thoughts on safety evolved as the study proceeded, these country sections appear in the order in which the countries were visited. A summary of the major issues and lessons-learned in each country is given in Section 1.
Much of general information in these country sections is from Gillett (2002) and from other work done for FAO and other agencies by the consultant.
