JNCC – UK Overseas Territories Report 1: JNCC/CEFAS Pitcairn Island 2020 Survey Report 2022

Abstract

The Pitcairn Islands are an archipelago of four small volcanic and coral islands in the remote South Pacific (Pitcairn, Oeno, Henderson, and Ducie Islands). Only the second largest Island, Pitcairn, is inhabited, with approximately 45–50 permanent residents.

This report provides a summary of the benthic ground-truthing and coral reef monitoring survey undertaken by JNCC and Cefas around the inhabited island of Pitcairn Island in January 2020. The data from the survey will feed directly into the management of the marine environment within the Pitcairn Marine Protected Area.
