    The Islands French Polynesia
    Geography
    French Polynesia consists of five great archipelagos, the Society, Austral, Tuamotu, Gambier, and Marquesas islands. The Society Islands are subdivided into the Windwards or Iles du Vent (Tahiti, Moorea, Maiao, Tetiaroa, and Mehafa), and the Leewards or lies Sous le Vent (Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa, Bora Bora, Maupiti). Together the 35 islands and 83 atolls of French Polynesia total only 3,543 square km in land area, yet they're scattered over 5,030,000 square km of the southeastern Pacific, from the Cook Is. in the west to Pitcairn in the east. There's a wonderful geological diversity to these islands midway between Australia and South America. From the dramatic, jagged volcanic outlines of the Society and Marquesas islands to the 400-meter-high hills of the Australs and Gambiers and the low coral atolls of the Tuamotus. All of the Marquesas are volcanic islands, while the Tuamotus are all coral islands or atolls. The Societies and Gambiers include both volcanic and coral types.

    take on fishing management is all too apt in the case of french polynesia. Eric Edlund,Assistant Professor, Department of geography, University of Montana at

    CV RESEARCH COURSES E-MAIL FRENCH POLYNESIA FRENCH POLYNESIA RESEARCH FRENCH POLYNESIA MAPS FRENCH POLYNESIA PHOTO GALLERY FRENCH POLYNESIA LINKS My research in French Polynesia involves two interrelated projects. The first is a study of the relationships between gender and work in the process of economic restructuring. In particular, I am concerned with how women are being articulated into French Polynesia's new economy precipitated by the end of the nuclear testing era. I argue that women's economic opportunities are shaped and limited by the economic imperatives of the new development plan, in addition to historical representations of what Polynesian women do in society. French Polynesia has been a colony of France since 1843. Prior to the 1960s, French Polynesia's national economy was based on meager exports of copra, vanilla, coffee, and phosphate. Local people made their livelihoods through subsistence farming and fishing, in addition to petty marketing of agricultural and other commodities. After Algeria gained its independence in 1962, France shifted its nuclear test program from the Saharan Desert to French Polynesia, which marked a surge in economic development in French Polynesia, particularly in the Society Islands. An airport and shipping ports were built at Papeete on reclaimed reefs to handle the transfer of people and equipment for the nuclear test sites on the atolls of Moruroa and Fangataufa, as well as a support base on Hao Atoll and the headquarters in Papeete. The construction of this infrastructure opened the gates for tourism to enter the region.
