Fisheries for our future

Not only are South Pacific marine environments thought to be among the most unique in the world, but South Pacific communities also rely on these environments for their livelihoods. However these marine habitats are also under the threat from pollution, climate and overfishing. This manual aims to support teachers to plan lessons around marine conservation. The educational philosophy is to foster a sense of responsibility among students, such that they are able to participate in making decisions that impact their environment.

Conserving our Pacific heritage

The people of the Pacific rely heavily on the resources of the land and sea for their social, cultural and economic well being. For thousand of years, they have lived in harmony with nature. Geographic and ecological isolation of the Pacific Islands have led to the evolution of unique species and communities of plants and animals, many of which are endemic to specific islands. This video highlights the beauty of the natural heritage of the Pacific islands people, which is now under conservation.
