The FRDP and PRP have an inclusive approach and are committed to working through a collective effort, linking climate change and disaster risk management. The FRDP and PRP also represent a risk informed approach to development guided by the principles of the Framework for Pacific Regionalism. The role of the proposed Taskforce is particularly important and will be supported by a support unit and technical working groups. The challenge is translating the FRDP into practical actions and resource mobilisation. As espoused in the FRDP inclusivity is important, however large groups can be hard to operate and the challenge ahead is how stakeholders move together for practical actions that benefit the region. The key messages are integration of the two communities of practice; and mainstreaming community based disaster risk management. On implementation it was acknowledged that no agency can do the work alone and must involve different stakeholders and their respective strengths.

Extent and delimitation of countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), as declared by individual countries, or as defined by the Sea Around Us based on the fundamental principles outlined in UNCLOS (i.e., 200 nautical miles or mid-line rules), and the FAO statistical areas by which global fisheries catch statistics are reported. Note that for several FAO areas some data exist by sub-areas as provided through regional organizations (e.g., ICES for FAO Area 27). The Sea Around Us makes use of these spatially refined data to improve the spatial allocation of catch data
