Twelve experts will join a group that set out last week to the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA) to study the effects of climate change on coral ecosystems and other developments.

Education and information officer Betarim Rimon has told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat the team will travel on Monday by patrol boat to Canton, one of PIPA's eight islands.

"They'll be doing surveys on biodiversity...on the old infrastructure that exists on the island - they need to ascertain on how to revive them," he said.
