Marine Turtle Status report for Solomon Islands 2022
The marine turtle states review for Solomon Islands 2022 was commissioned to inform the development of the country's 5-year National plan of Action (NPOA) - Marine Turtles 2022-2026.
Solomon Islands National Plan of Action for Marine Turtles 2023-2027
It is through ministerial leadership with relevant stakeholders and partners’ collaboration that produces and finalizes the Solomon Islands National Plan of Action for Marine Turtles (NPOA) 2023-2027. This has gone through important strategic consultative process, which embraces strong collaborations with both the international and regional partners in response to national calls for sustainable management of marine turtles in Solomon Islands and the Pacific region.
Solomon Islands Saltwater Crocodile Conservation and Management Plan 2023-2027
Reduce the risk of crocodile attack on people, while ensuring the long-term conservation and management of the species based on science, culture, and traditional knowledge for sustainable utilisation.
Vanuatu National Plan of Action for Seabirds, Sharks and Marine Turtles 2024-2028
Seabirds, sharks and marine turtles are important apex species in the marine food-chain, and they maintain marine ecosystem health. These resources are caught as bycatch of commercial fisheries and some species are a source of food security and livelihoods with cultural values to some coastal communities in Vanuatu.
Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan for Navua catchment and Beqa lagoon
Located in the Central Division of Fiji, the Navua River and Beqa lagoon support high social, ecological and economic values. The river floodplains support subsistence farming and commercial agriculture, and the river and tributaries provide an important transport route to villages that are difficult to reach. The catchment includes the Upper Navua Gorge, which is a designated conservation area due to its high ecological significance and the forests containing traditional foods and medicines.
Realising the Healthy Islands Vision through Cross-Sector, Planning, Data and Action : Policy Brief
Fiji and other Pacific Island Countries face a high risk of communicable disease outbreaks caused by endemic, emerging and re-emerging disease, which are influenced by social, economic and ecological changes.
Responsible marine wildlife viewing guidelines: a guide to industry best practice for viewing marine wildlife in the Pacific.
This guideline provides practical, science-based information for tourism operators and tourism regulators who want to offer the best possible experience to their customers, while conserving species and habitats and making a positive contribution to local communities. It provides guidance, and tools that can be tailored to local circumstances, enabling operators to improve the educational quality, safety, and sustainability of their businesses.
Turtle research and monitoring database: a TREDS of summary Pacific turtle data recorded from 1970 to 2018
The Turtle Research and monitoring Database System (TREDS) was developed in 1993, to allow members of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to store, collate, and organise their data for research, monitoring and reporting. This tool is intended to assist members in making informed decisions regarding turtle conservation in the region. The dataset extracted from TREDS is from 1970 to 2018 and has been manipulated for the chapters covered in this report.
Pacific Seabirds Survey and monitoring Manual. Tools to Support Seabird Conservation across Ecosystems in Oceania
The goal of this manual is to encourage and support seabird conservation and research across the region, particularly in areas where this work is just starting out. We consider all of the proven methods and survey types that are currently in use across the region, to provide readers with the tools required to run successful seabird survey and monitoring programmes. To further illustrate how successful projects can be undertaken, real world case studies are presented – written by experts currently working in the field.
Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) for Central Islands Province, Solomon Islands
The target area for the ESRAM assessment is the land- and seascape comprising Nggela Islands, Russell Islands and Savo Island. This is largely due to the very high biodiversity values of their terrestrial and marine areas. The marine areas are also critically important for tourism activities, while the terrestrial lands are subject to intense land use pressures, land degradation and the impacts of climate change.
