This manual intends to address the growing need to provide alternative livelihood options to Pacific Island fishing communities. As reef fisheries have come under increasing pressure, your SPC Coastal fisheries team has developed an information toolkit that includes this manual which describes in detail nearly 20 fishing techniques (trolling, mid-water fishing, deep-bottom dishing and catching small pelagic fish) and a series of training videos titled Fish and Tips.

In the Pacific Islands region, fish and invertebrates (specifically shellfish) fulfil important ecological roles in coastal and oceanic habitats, and many species are targeted by fisheries, making vital contributions to food security, livelihoods, government revenue and cultural heritage.

Ecosystem-based adaptation and climate change vulnerability in Choiseul Province, Solomon Islands - a synthesis report.

This cost-benefi t analysis is part of the UNEP Ecosystem-based Adaptation Flagship Program and UN-HABITAT Cities and Climate Change Initiative and is intended to guide decision makers in their consideration of various options for climate change adaptation. While the scope of the research and analysis is confi ned to Lami Town, Fiji, a town adjacent to the capital Suva, general lessons and considerations may also be informative at the national level. Furthermore, the lessons learned will be useful for future comparison of options for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to climate change in the Pacifi c region.
