In the Bahamas seafood is very popular whether its conch or fish and grits. Seafood is one of

Polynesian (Greek: ‘poly’ = many, ‘nēsoi’ = islands) is the predominant culture of the South Pacific region. Of many Polynesian cultures, the most famous is Hawaiian. Polynesian traditions evolved differently on other islands over the centuries, due to the isolation imposed by great distances between them.

The first person to unite the island was Kamehameha. He was born as Paiea, the lonely one. His uncle, Kalani’opu’u was the ruler of Hawai’i before Kamehameha conquered the islands. He/Kamehameha wasn’t supposed to become the king after all. Until he achieved so many mana from all the battles he won and from the people who respected him, he was able to become the king, Kamehameha the Great.

They started the Republic Of Hawaii. They became a US territory five years later. In the 1900’s most of the Hawaiian economy was based on sugar and pineapple plantations, which brought in Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Portuguese immigrants.

Healthcare is very different as you go from country to country, but they can also be very similar. Healthcare in the US and Fiji are alike, but they are also very different.

Many people go to Hawaii for a nice relaxing vacation, not knowing they’re right next to one of the five most active volcanos in the world,Kilauea. Kilauea had killed over 400 people in a single eruption. Kilauea is formed on a hotspot,or a place of significant activity or danger,this is one of the reasons Kilauea is so active. Kilauea has had many small eruptions, but the last large eruption lasted 30 years and was from 1983 to 2013. Kilauea may seem like any other regular volcano but it is much more dangerous.

The program I am going to attend is the Fiji Shark Studies program through the company Broadreach. The cost of the program is $6980 not including airfare or equipment rental. The session that I have been accepted to is June 18th to July 11th. This program would allow me to work side by side with researchers and conservationists to get hands on experience and beneficial information. I will be able to meet locals and hear how shark populations affect their society, while also educating local youth on conservation. I will also be flooded with information, like how sharks have managed to survive throughout generations through evolution and migratory patterns. The program allows us to dive along side numerous species of sharks and to see them in

American Samoa would be a perfect location for an open market. The weather is warm and tropical with an average temperature of 87 degrees fahrenheit. American Samoa has a population of 54,157 people. I can set up my market anywhere that seems like a good location. My open market can sell goods grown locally on the island or import goods that most likely haven’t been owned by local people such as raw materials like sugar and salt etc.

New Guinea is the third largest island in the world, with a size of 309,000 square-miles.

The inhabitants of New Guinea speak more than 800 different languages, which makes New Guinea a very diverse island (Kleiner 1106).

With a GDP per Capita of only $1,424 compared to the world medium of $6,027,  Kiribati is one of the poorest nations in the world. Its major exports are fish and coconut products, whereas it has to import food, machinery and equipment, fuel, and other miscellaneous manufactured goods.

The country that I choose is Iceland. Iceland is very unique and interesting not only because of its clean air and amazing scenery but also its natural beauty and landscapes. Nature is a big force of Iceland but the volcano’s, waterfalls, and glaciers seem to attract most tourist. There landforms are probably the most unique. The Northern Lights is also something that people find very interesting because how it is created and the view you can see. It is something that everyone should see at some point in their life. The sources that I choose to use to research the Physical Geography, Economics, History, Cultural, and Political

Fiji is located in the southwest Pacific, south of the Equator. It is an archipelago that consists of 322 islands, 106 of them are inhabited and the rest are natural reserves. Viti Levu is the main Island and it consists of two main cities: Suva and Nadi. Suva, Suva is Fiji’s capital and Nadi is home of the international airport. Viti Levu is home to most of the Fijian population. The second largest island is Vanua Levu and the third largest is Taveuni.

The island of Samoa, also known as the “Treasured Islands” or the “Independent State of Samoa” is located between the island of Hawaii and New Zealand in the Polynesian area of the South Pacific. Samoan ancestors left their first mark on the island around 3,000 years ago. Researchers and scientists are still finding small traces of old pottery and belongings left behind. Samoans lived in villages, mainly in the coastal regions which included a vast and open area along with several residencies and huts used as meeting areas or cooking rooms. They later on evolved into using stones to
