The primary aim of these guidelines is to protect the health of humans from threats posed by the recreational use of coastal, estuarine and fresh waters. Threats may include natural hazards such as surf, rip currents and aquatic organisms, and those with an artificial aspect, such as discharges of wastewater. These guidelines should be used to ensure that recreational water environments are managed as safely as possible so that as many people as possible can benefit from using the water.

This Master Plan outlines the way forward to generate electricity from renewable energy and to develop an energy efficiency programme in Tuvalu.
The 2012 Population and Housing census of Tuvalu is the third census conducted by the Central Statistics Division since Tuvalu gained political independence in 1978. This document is the analytical report that provides the population and housing information.
This report presents the preliminary results of the Tuvalu Population and Housing Mini-Census 2017. The Census provides a snapshot of the country at the specified night of 12th November, 2017. It is the first census to be held in Tuvalu within a 5 year period at most followed a 10 year time-frame since the country’s independence in 1978, it is called a ‘Mini-Census’ as it does not cover all of the usual process requiring of the censuses proceedings.
Tuvalu faces real challenges in relation to the management of its human wastes (fekau o tino). This is despite decades of promotion of the use of water sealed flush toilets and septic tank systems as the most hygienic and safe way to dispose of human wastes. These systems were promoted as an alternative to the use of the beach for human waste disposal.

State of Environment Report 1993 & State of Environment Report 2022
Tuvalu’s State of Environment Report was first developed in 1993 to raise awareness among the people of Tuvalu on all environmental issues and to use the report in decision making. This year (2022), the Department of Environment under the Ministry of PublicWorks, Infrastructure, Environment,Labour, Meteorology and Disaster (MPWIELMD) is pleased to present the 2nd Tuvalu State of Environment Report 2022.
This study reports the concentration of the metals, such as Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Fe, in the road dust and the roadside soil of Suva City. A total number of 45 road dust and 36 roadside soil samples were collected at 18 different locations around Suva City with potential traffic influence and analysed.

Proposed Project Objective: Enhanced use of data for decision making in the environment sector throughout the Pacific region. Building on the tools and momentum the Inform project established, this scaled up project will expand the user base and fill significant gaps including in situ monitoring, increased partnerships between the environment ministries and other ministries, increase use of spatial tools, and the establishment of standardise environmental standards and key indicators for key resources.
The Tuvalu State of Environment Report presents an overview across four thematic areas: Environmental Governance, Coastal and Marine, Atmosphere and Climate, and Built Environment. The report uses the ‘Drivers, Pressures,State, Impact and Response’ model to describe the environment. As far as possible the report is based on quantitative data relating to the state of the environment, supplemented by stakeholder input to describe causal relation-
ships and environmental effects. The report presents:
The study indicated that the sampling locations at an industrial site of Suva City is highly predominated with almost all of the studied metals and is a concern to the general public who live and work within the vicinity of Walu Bay industrial area.
Environmental and Social Commitment Plan for the THSSP Project, March 2022
One of the requirements is the development, adoption, and implementation of a Labor1 Management Procedure (LMP) to provide guidance in the management of workers to ensure project's compliance with labour management standards and address labour managementrelated risks. This requirement is articulated under the World Bank Environmental and Social Standard 2 - Labor and Working Conditions (ESS 2) of the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF).
This SEP will guide the project information and awareness campaigns, consultations and the setting up of grievance redress mechanism for potentially affected people, during the preparation of the detailed project design, including the finalization of the Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and during implementation of the project activities and ESMP mitigation measures. This SEP will be periodically updated and shall contain summaries of stakeholder activities already undertaken under THSSP.
In partial fulfillment with ESS1, the GoTv and World Bank have agreed that a "Preliminary Project-Wide Environmental and Social Management Plan (Preliminary ESMP)" shall be prepared and be made available by Project Appraisal, pending the development of the detailed Project Design, thus this Preliminary ESMP. This Preliminary ESMP includes subsidiary ES management instruments designed to address specific issues and requirements of the WB ES Standards.
