The objective of an Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan (IEMP) process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change and other direct anthropogenic impacts. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of Phase 2a and 2b activities that contribute towards the and Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan (IEMP) for the ESRAM study for Wiawi (on Malekula Island), with other reports providing similar overviews for the communities of Laone (Pentecost Island), Tenmaru, and South West Bay (both Malekula Island) (see Figure 1).

As such this report provides a: 1. Synthesis of data and lines of evidence for Wiawi extracted from the main report. 2. Detailed options assessments specific to Wiawi. 3. Implementation considerations.

The objective of an Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change and other direct anthropogenic impacts. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of Phase 2a and 2b activities that contribute towards the Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan for Tenmaru (on Malekula Island), with other reports providing similar overviews for the communities of Laone (Pentecost Island) and Southwest Bay and Wiawi (on Malekula Island).

This island nation contains many marine eco-systems, from globally significant coral reefs to mangroves, seagrass areas, seamounts and deep-sea trenches supporting at least 769 fish species, including sharks and rays, as well as whales, dolphins and sea turtles.

Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) is the first stage of PEBACC. This report presents the results of the ESRAM undertaken by Griffith University for the Republic of Vanuatu (hereafter ‘Vanuatu’) and Tanna Island (heareafter ‘Tanna’).
