Legislative Guidance on the Management of End-of-Life Tyres in the Pacific, June 2025

SPREP Publications, Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

managing end-of-life tyres (ELTs) in the Pacific Islands present unique challenge due to the region's geographical isolation, small economies, limited infrastructure and environmental and health risks, including pollution, fire hazards, and the breeding of disease-carrying mosquitoes. As tyre waste continues to grow in the region, the need for an effective regulatory framework to manage ELTs becomes increasingly urgent. This Guidance note provides details of the various legislative options available to govern waste management of End-Of-Life Tyres.

Incorporating Climate Change Impacts Within Harvest Strategies: An Overview of Approaches

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Bessell-Browne, Pia. et al.

Ensuring that harvest strategies are robust to climate change is a top priority for many fisheries jurisdictions globally. This is because climate change is altering ecosystem structure and the productivity of marine species. We outline a range of approaches for incorporating climate change impacts within harvest strategies, including how a harvest strategy is specified and changes to monitoring requirements. Approaches evaluated include the use of extended stock assessments, multi-species and ecosystem models, revised management reference points, implementing regime shifts in model parameters, the provision of climate-sensitive catch advice, projections under alternative climate change scenarios and expanded use of management strategy evaluation. We evaluate the utility of these approaches against cost, data needs and uncertainty criteria; highlight key learnings from a range of global jurisdictions and demonstrate the broad array of options available outside of direct incorporation of climate variables within stock assessments. We identify approaches that have been successfully implemented and show that the most complex responses are not always the most successful. While there is no one-size-fits-all way to incorporate climate change within harvest strategies, we outline the need for flexible management arrangements. We also provide examples of approaches that have been successfully implemented, demonstrating that many of the most data-intensive responses will only be applicable in a few cases, necessitating the application of cheaper, less data-intensive approaches that are associated with greater uncertainty.

COSPPac Monthly Bulletin, June 2025

SPREP Publications, Climate Science and Information

Available Online

In June, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was weak and displayed north of its normal location and observed mainly in the western Pacific along Philippines, Palau, western FSM, Guam, and RMI. The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) was active and located over its normal average location over PNG, Solomon Islands and southern Tuvalu

Ocean Outlook, fortnight to 8 August: • Sea surface temperature (SST) forecasts more than 0.8°C above-normal are favoured in the following country Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZs): Palau, southwest FSM, northern RMI, PNG, Solomon Is., Vanuatu, New Caledonia, southern Fiji, and patches of eastern French Polynesia, and Pitcairn Is.. SST anomalies above 1.2°C are favoured in most of PNG, southwest Solomon Islands, and northwest and southeast New Caledonia. Elsewhere, SSTs are predicted to be near-normal.

Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Resilience Analysis and Mapping Navua catchment and Beqa lagoon 2024

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Maxwell, P.

Tilleard, S.,

et al

This report presents the Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) prepared as part of Objective 4. ESRAM is a framework employed globally to evaluate and strengthen the resilience of both, natural ecosystems and the socioeconomic systems closely linked to them. ESRAM provides an integrated approach that considers both ecological and social dimensions, providing decision-makers with a systematic tool to analyse relationships between ecosystems and the communities they support. By mapping vulnerabilities and strengths using GIS software, ESRAM helps identify and enable the design of adaptive strategies for sustainable development. The identification of ecosystem‐based adaptation options is critical in dynamic environmental and socioeconomic landscapes such as those found in Fiji. Resilience through adaptive strategies is required to combat challenges like climate change, natural disasters and increases in human activities. Much of the broader evidence base is documented in other sections of the detailed project documents. This is deliberate to ensure that the reader of this report is able to focus on the key information and points.
