 As of 2016 there are only estimated to be a few hundred residents permanently living on Takuu.In 2006 a team of filmmakers (Briar March and Lyn Collie) visited the atoll twice, “making a documentary that records culture and life on the atoll, and examines the possibility that the community might have to relocate to Bougainville mainland if their physical situation worsens”.The second shoot in 2008 was filmed by Scott Smithers and John Hunter.
