On January 20, 2022, UNESCO and 1 OCEAN announced the “discovery” of a pristine coral reef off Tahiti. The story quickly went viral and the world rejoiced.

But Tahitians took issue with the word “discovery” as the reef was already known to locals.

Big news

"France opens archives related to nuclear weapons tests in the Pacific"

"France has opened its archives to the vast majority of documents related to its nuclear weapons tests in the South Pacific.

The defence ministry said President Emmanuel Macron had acknowledged that France owed a debt to French Polynesia for having carried out nearly 200 nuclear tests between 1966 and 1996.

It said Marcon had asked for the complete opening of the archives with the exception of the most sensitive military data.

According to the ministry, 594 boxes at the Defence History Service have so far been identified and processed, meaning 81,980 documents are now declassified and accessible for researchers.

It said only 40 documents were withheld."

After a long campaign by French researchers and Ma’ohi anti-nuclear activists, France has begun to open the archives about its nuclear testing program in #FrenchPolynesia. The blanket of "national security" is crumbling, as groups like Moruroa e Tatou seek evidentiary documents.
