Biodiversity strategy and action plan : Chuuk State, Kosrae State, Pohnpei State, Yap State

Abstract

The Chuuk State BSAP or implementation plan was developed over a series of community consultations and expert meetings since 2001. This year 2004 results of those community consultations and expert meetings have been consolidated into an action plan outlining Chuuk state's vision, goal, priority based headings, objectives and activities. The action plan is based on the realities of Chuuk state and the most appropriate means of achieving the goal and objectives stated. Lastly, it has been agreed during the consultations that this action plan is biodiversity focused and will be part of Chuuk's overall environmental plan. Therefore waste management is not included in this particular plan since it falls under EPA and the Department of Public Works.
