Vatia Climate Resiliency Perspective
Publication Date:
2019
Abstract:
"Vatia village is located on the north shore of Tutuila Island in American Samoa. It has an estimated population of 640 people (Census 2010). The village is concerned about the impending climate change impacts on their community and resources. Sea-level rise, coastal erosion, increased sea surface temperatures, and changes in weather patterns can lead to degradation of wetlands, coastline, and coral reefs. These issues can impact the livelihoods, health, and economic and social well-being of the village community."
