Hendriks, Hannah

The purpose of this work was to consult with Pacific islands countries and territories to determine progress on implementation of the 2013-2017 action plans. Identify issues and challenges with implementing the plans. Obtain feedback about the plans in general. And the objective is to develop a series of Marine species action plans for 2022-2026

Plan d'action pour les recifs coralliens du Pacifique 2021-2030

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation

Davies, Peter

Toki, Beth

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.

Toki, Beth

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.

Harnessing the diversity of small-scale actors is key to the future of aquatic food systems

et al

Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture (SSFA) provide livelihoods for over 100 million people and sustenance for ~1 billion people, particularly in the Global South. Aquatic foods are distributed through diverse supply chains, with the potential to be highly adaptable to stresses and shocks, but face a growing range of threats and adaptive challenges. Contemporary governance assumes homogeneity in SSFA despite the diverse nature of this sector. Here we use SSFA actor profiles to capture the key dimensions and dynamism of SSFA diversity, reviewing contemporary threats and exploring opportunities for the SSFA sector. The heuristic framework can inform adaptive governance actions supporting the diversity and vital roles of SSFA in food systems, and in the health and livelihoods of nutritionally vulnerable people—supporting their viability through appropriate policies whilst fostering equitable and sustainable food systems.
