La région a besoin d’un plan d’actions pour prendre des décisions concertées en vue d’améliorer la santé et la résilience des récifs coralliens. Cela doit permettre aux dirigeants des îles du Pacifique, aux gestionnaires des récifs coralliens et aux communautés locales de coordonner leurs efforts de protection de ces précieux écosystèmes. La coopération régionale peut optimiser les synergies entre différents programmes pour parvenir à de meilleurs résultats, par exemple en partageant les connaissances et en tirant parti des économies d’échelle. Un Plan régional peut également servir de base à la mobilisation des ressources financières nécessaires pour la protection et la gestion des récifs coralliens.

The region needs an action plan to make cohesive decisions that will benefit coral reefs. This will enable leaders of Pacific Island countries, coral-reef managers and community members to coordinate their efforts to protect these valuable ecosystems. Regional cooperation can optimise synergies between programmes and actions to achieve better outcomes, by sharing knowledge and using economies of scale. A regional plan can also provide the basis for securing the funds needed to protect and manage coral reefs.

Samoa is home to many threatened species including corals, marine turtles, whales, dolphins and more. The survival of these species is further endangered by the global trade in plants, animals and products that may be made from them.

Samoa's National Environmental Capacity Strategy (NECS) is drawn on the assessment and analysis of priority thematic and cross-cutting capacity needs. These needs have identified priority actions for capacity development and opportunities to promote synergies across the 3 Conventions which are highlighted as project profiles in the NECS. Strategies to implement these project profiles including means of monitoring and evaluation of outcomes are also highlighted in the NECS.

Protecting a species is an aspect of conservation which many organizations and individuals have put effort into so that the balance within the ecosystem can be maintained. Protection implement when factors of threats have been identify. Factors of pressure or predatory that may lead to competition and results in extinction. These are the sequence our world works since the beginning
