		As noted for Fakaofo, there was a greater complex of coral patch reefs, bommies, and pinnacles generally than in the lower abundance (<50 Tm/ha) areas on the E and W-SW sides of the lagoon.
		As in Fakaofo, tow numbers are combined where replicate tows were made, single where a single tow represented the area or combined for patch reefs in the lagoon which showed similar densities of clams (Fig.

	A GIANT CLAM STOCK SURVEY AND PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF PEARL OYSTER RESOURCES IN THE TOKELAU ISLANDS
		Gillett (1985) suggested that the introduction of diving goggles to Fakaofo in the 1940s was the main factor contributing to the demise of the pearl oyster population today.
		Fakaofo has abundant coral patch reefs, bommies, pinnacles and a ‘lagoon within the lagoon’ at the southern end of the atoll where the pearl oysters could be held.
		Foremost in Fakaofo lagoon is the high densities of spondylid oysters which would be stubborn competitors of an attempt to establish pearl oysters.

		Tokelau consists of three isolated atolls of the South Pacific located 480 km north from the islands of the Samoan archipelago and 440 km directly south from the Rawaki Islands of the central Pacific.
		From Atafu in the north to Fakaofo in the south, the atolls are spread over just under 200 km of ocean (see panoramic image, orientated in a northwest to southeast running chain.
		Swains Island, located 177 km southwards from Fakaofo is claimed, for historical and geographical reasons, as part of Tokelau; although it is currently considered as part of American Samoa.

		Eventually the warriors of Fakaofo brought the other two atolls under the rule of the Tui Tokelau, the king or spiritual head of Tokelau, represented by the stone god at Fakaofo.
		As was the case with all small islands in the Pacific, white men came across the Tokelau Islands by accident when they were engaged in whaling or transversing the Pacific, or when purposefully seeking new discoveries or slave labour.
		Fakaofo and Atafu each lost 54% of their populations and Nukunonu, 26%.

		The atolls' already-minuscule populations were drastically reduced to a mere 200 in the 1850s and 60s when Peruvian slave traders seized around 250 people, 500 islanders were removed by missionaries, and diseases such as dysentery took hold.
		The religious distribution amongst the atolls reflects the staggered arrival of Samoan missionaries in the 19th century: Atafu is almost completely Protestant; Nukunonu is largely Catholic; and Fakaofo is split between the two faiths, due to the simultaneous arrival of Catholic and Protestant missionaries.
		As with all coral atolls, the soil is thin, infertile and poorly drained.

		If you're Catholic—if you are, say, the new Demon Pope—you'll prefer the atoll of Nukunonu, where everyone's Catholic, to those of Atafu (Congregationalist) or Fakaofo (mixed).
		Fakaofo also has free high-speed internet connections for all residents, and in that way, it resembles an Ivy League university, except it is prettier, and the food sounds much better.
		This means you will be able to check your own.tk website while you are in Fakaofo, and it perhaps explains why Tokelau has more of a Web presence than you might think, including this poem.

		Reports of widespread damage were received from the atolls of Fakaofo and Nukunonu, while communication with the atoll of Atafu remained limited for over a week, although no casualties were reported.
		On Fakaofo and Atafu this seems to have been largely achieved, though assistance in waste management and the removal of debris would still be beneficial.
		The loss of 50% of the pigs will be sorely felt by the people of Fakaofo and will impact on their food supplies and the balance of their diet, particularly in combination with the likely loss of fish in the area.

		Scott Levi has now finished the construction and the boat will be ready to disembark behind the next sailing to Tokelau, expected to be Tuesday, 18 Aug. In a special ceremony on Friday, 13 August, Acting Ulu o Tokelau, Faipule Pio Tuia, blessed the boat and those whose hands constructed the vessel.

	The Manila Times Internet Edition \| WORLD > South Pacific territory rejects self-rule
		FAKAOFO, Tokelau: The tiny South Pacific territory of Tokelau has rejected a move to self-government, voting instead in a referendum to remain as New Zealand’s last colony, results showed Thursday.

		Tuia, a supporter of ending Tokelau’s colonial status, put aside any personal disappointment over the result, which will leave the three atolls with a population of 1,500 under Wellington’s administration.

		The majority of the inhabited islands Vao and Motuhuga on Nukunonu atoll were invaded, in addition to several of the uninhabited, forested islands.
		Despite this ant having been previously recorded from at least one island of Fakaofo and Nukunonu, these appear to be new invasions.
