This activity was initiated after discussions between the SPREPs Knowledge Management team and the Threatened and Migratory Species Advisor about seabirds. The proposal was to hold an interactive session with community members about seabirds to elicit information about seabirds and provide a forum for discussion. This is to try and bridge the gap between traditional knowledge holders and scientists and to support SPREP’s Information & Knowledge Management Strategy goal on knowledge sharing with the community through collaboration with partners and stakeholders. This café style of knowledge sharing is the second workshop of this type where key stakeholders come together to discuss topics on the environment. The event provided an excellent platform for information dialogue between partners and the selected community representatives on the above topic. The community members that participated shared their knowledge and experiences on seabirds in Samoa.
