Pacific-Australia climate change science and adaptation planning program : Climate in the Pacific - a regional summary of new science and management tools

Small island developing states in the tropical Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate variability, extremes and change including loss and damage to infrastructure and natural assets from climate related natural disasters and associated threats to health and wellbeing of the population.

Using range filling rather than prevalence of invasive plant species for management prioritisation : the case of Spathodea campanulata in the Society islands (South Pacific)

Available Online

Larrue, S

Meyer, J Y

Pouteau, R

Biological invasion science lacks standardised measures of invasion success that would provide effective prioritisation of invasive species and invaded areas management. Prevalence (area of occupancy) of invasive species is often used as proxy of their success but this metric ignores the extent to which a species fills its potential distribution.

Many atolls may be unihabitable within decades due to climate change

Available Online

Storlazzi, C D ; Elias, E P L. ; Berkowitz, P

Observations show global sea level is rising due to climate change, with the highest rates in the tropical Pacific Ocean where many of the world's low-lying atolls are located. Sea-level rise is particularly critical for low-lying carbonate reef-lined atoll islands: these island have limited land and water available for human habitatio, water and food sources and ecosystems that are vulnerable to inundation from sea-level rise.

Coastal vulnerability across the Pacific dominated by El NiÃ±o/Southern Oscillation

Available Online

Barnard, P L. Short, A D. Harley, M D. et al

To predict the future coastal hazards, it is very important to quantify any links between climate deivers and spatial patterns of coastal change.

A comparative study of accuracy and effectiveness of line and point intercept transect methods for coral reef monitoring in the soutwestern Indian Ocean Islands

Available Online

Facon, M Pinault, M , Ubura, D. et al

Coral reefs around the world are facing increasing disturbance: however the ability to monitor them is constrained by cost and experience factors.

Coral islands defy sea-level rise over the past century: Records from a central Pacific atoll

Available Online

Kench, P S ; Thompson, D ; Ford, M R ; Ogawa, H Mclean, R F

The geological stability and exixtence of low-lying atoll nations is threatened by sea-level rise and climate change.

Climate impacts and outlook - Regional climate overview for the 4th quarter

Available Online

Below normal rainfall fell over most of Hawaii the FSM, the Marshall Islands, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas. The region is under and El NiÃ±o advisory and weather patterns were in a climate state of El NiÃ±o during the quarter .

Proposal to the Australian Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPac) tides and oceans management/early warning support. Submitted by NOAA National weather service in the Republic of the Marshall Islands

Available Online

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is committed to increasing the capacity for early warning in the RMI

Poor results in fishing in coastal communities of Tonga raises great concerns among those communities and the Department of Fisheries because the livelihoods of people are greatly impacted. As population increases and fishing equipments improves, the resources in coastal areas become unsustainably fished, which leads to declined in food security, income and the richness of Tonga's marine resources.

Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction: Technical Report for the Pacific Islands Region

Available Online

There is a need to find balance between the economic, environmental and social dimensions of area based management (ABM). ABM has the potential to manage the potential conflict over space and use, but objectives must be clear and area based responses must be targeted to suit the relevant objective
