This harbour was a focal point during World War II, with many troops stationed there, including posts on Moso itself.

This community was divided in two in the early 1990s and some people split from Sunae, forming Tassirki village on central Moso.

The Tasiriki community, in conjunction with Wan Smolbag Theatre, is the base for a turtle monitoring programme on northwestern Efate.

The project is run throughout Vanuatu with the goal of preserving the endangered turtle species found in the Pacific.

The community operates a bungalow that accommodates volunteers who stay for short-term periods assisting the locals with the turtle monitoring programme.
