Niue Coastal Water Quality and Groundwater Resources Assessment - SOPAC- Feb 2005

The aims of the study were: 1. to conduct a coastal water quality survey, concentrating on the Alofi area where problems with fish poisoning (Ciguatera) have been experienced; and 2. to undertake a survey of the freshwater resources on the island, and also to assess whether groundwater was also contaminated with land-based pollution, and acting as the pathway for transmitting this to the coastal waters.
