	New Guinea - LoveToKnow 1911
		The islands on the southern margin of the Louisiade Archipelago are raised coral reefs, but the majority are mountainous, rarely, however, exceeding 3000 ft.; all of them are richly forested, but of little agricultural value.
		The Louisiade and the d'Entrecasteaux Islands consist of the same slates and schists as form the main axis of the eastern peninsula, and they are auriferous.
		European industries include gold mining, in which 500 miners, besides natives, are engaged (chiefly in the Louisiade Archipelago), and the beche de mer and pearl-shell fisheries, which were formerly more productive than at present.

	Papua New Guinea - Louisiade Archipelago
		The Louisiade Archipelago (1,600 km²) is located in the southwestern regions of the Milne Bay province, consisting of two large volcanic island-barrier reef complexes and numerous smaller island groups, islets, atolls and reefs.
		The archipelago is sometimes extended westwards to include all those islands that lie off the southeastern tip of New Guinea — these can be considered as outliers of the archipelago.
		At 202 km², the third major member of the Louisiade Archipelago is the 40 km by 10 km island of Misima, located off the northwestern end of Vanatinai's barrier reef.

		I therefore, with all due respect to all the relevant authorities concerned, urge all concerned to be more consultative in their approach towards the handling of this situation and to have an open dialogue with my LLG before overall decisions are made.

	Trobriand Islands
		The Trobriand Islands are an archipelago of several low-lying coral islands situated to the northeast of New Guinea.
		They are part of Melanesia, a vast area to the south of the equator measuring 3,300 miles by 700 miles and encompassing New Guinea, the second largest island in the world, and the surrounding island chains.
		The traditional view holds that Austronesian-speaking peoples invaded the archipelago from Southeast Asia around 3000 BC, but there is no evidence for such a large-scale migration into Melanesia in the archaeological record.

	island biogeography
		One answer is that New Guinea has more than fifty times the area of Bali, and numbers of species ordinarily increase with available space.
		This does not, however, explain why the Society Islands (e.g., Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora), which collectively have about the same area as the islands of the Louisiade Archipelago off New Guinea, play host to many fewer species, or why the Hawaiian Islands, ten times the area of the Louisiades, also have fewer native birds.
		Two eminent ecologists, the late Robert MacArthur of Princeton University and E. Wilson of Harvard, developed a theory of island biogeography to explain such uneven distributions.
