The study of Energy release and Seismicity in the Southwest Pacific : Initially proposed by the Ad hoc Committee in the 1975 CCOP/SOPAC - IDOE Workshop. The project seeks to undertake a series of interrelated studies which have as a common theme the release of seismic and heat energy. Work objectives were:
(1) Geothermal measurements, this would be an extension of existing and planned work on selected islands islands, as Efate Island (Vanuatu), Fiji & Solomon Islands.
(2) Earthquake and volcanic prediction

Wave(passive) energy concept : This document was submitted in the 8th CCOP/SOPAC annual session. In 1978 the Mineral Resources Department recognized that Fiji has excellent locations for the application of this concept. In Fiji many potential sites have been recognized, and further work is intended to select the best sites for more detailed
studies. On Fiji's Coral Coast alone eight potential sites have been identified in a preliminary desk study (Crown Agents Report 1979). If all were developed they could
