	Tokelau Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The three atolls themselves are by no means close neighbours: Atafu and Nukunonu are separated by 92km (57mi) of lonely South Pacific Ocean, and it's another 64km (40mi) south-east to Fakaofo.
		As with all coral atolls, the soil is thin, infertile and poorly drained.
		There are two places to stay on Nukunonu, and one place each on Fakaofo and Atafu; facilities are unsurprisingly basic.

	A GIANT CLAM STOCK SURVEY AND PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF PEARL OYSTER RESOURCES IN THE TOKELAU ISLANDS
		Relative to the populations of people on Fakaofo and Nukunonu, the consumption rate of clams does not appear to be too high to threaten the T.
		On Fakaofo, Nukunonu, and Atafu there were 75.3%, 71.6%, and 55%, respectively, of the interviewees who believed that giant clams were becoming scarcer.
		Nukunonu has the lowest density of spondylid oysters but the water is clearest (lower levels of microalgae likely), fewer coral patch reef, pinnacles, etc. than at Fakaofo, and the lagoon is almost twice the surface area of Fakaofo.

		Nukunonu and Fakaofo appear to have been particularly affected as the cyclone came closest to them and stalled off Nukunonu before passing between these 2 atolls.
		I understand the situation in Nukunonu is indicative of that in Fakaofo.
		The approaches to the bridge on Nukunonu village were washed away thus isolating part of the village (Motuhaga) including the hospital.

	Radio Australia - Pacific Beat - Stories - TOKELAU: High turnout expected for Nukunonu poll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The referendum on self determination for Tokelau moved to the tiny Pacific territory's second atoll of Nukunonu on Wednesday.
		WALTER: Just over 200 here at Nukunonu, the total figure for all three atolls is about 620, which is a pretty high proportion of those eligible to vote.
		What they've done is set the bar at a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast, so that's setting the bar quite high by most standards, and so there's still a question, I guess, as to what the final outcome will be.
