El Nino weather pattern prompts fears of Micronesia drought


Last Updated: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:50:00 +1000


Experts say much of Micronesia will remain in drought-like conditions for the next six months, as an El Nino weather system approaches.

El Nino takes place every four to five years and involves changing weather patterns, thanks to the rapid warming of the surface of the southern Pacific Ocean.

Scientists are warning its effects this year will be far-reaching, on a number of islands in the region including Palau, the Northern Marianas and Marshall Islands.

Mark Lander from the University of Guam, says he has already begun speaking to authorities about the effects of El Nino.

"We've gone to Kosrae and the Northern Mariana Islands, and we are going to go to Palau and Yap and then to Chuuk and Pohnpei," he said.

Ocean protection
Meanwhile scientists are calling for large areas of the southern Pacific Ocean to be protected, in a similar way to the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia's Queensland state.

Professor Bob Pressey from the Centre of Excellence for Reef Studies says satellite technology can make the protection of the southern Pacific Ocean a reality.

He's told the Pacific News Service that Pacific countries are starting to understand that what happens in international waters affects their own economic exclusion zones.

Professor Pressey says a whole series of fisheries have been badly depleted, including deep ocean species and tuna.
