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.

This Samoa Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review (CPEIR) is one of five pilot CPEIRs that test a new methodology for reviewing public expenditure related to climate change, including both adaptation and mitigation, and the way in which this is guided by policy and managed by institutions. The five pilots are being coordinated by UNDP and undertaken by ODI with national and international experts, working closely with governments. The Samoan CPEIR took place be-tween March and May 2012.
