Wetlands of the Pacific Islands are continuously used as dumping sites. In addition, the habitats it provides are quickly disappearing as more space is needed for development. Clips of such activities are shown especially on Arnavon Island with the Arnavon Marine Conservation Area. Provides quiet footage of the wetlands and the threat from developments such as improper waste disposal, soil erosion, and deforestation.

Effective coastal management cannot be achieved within the region without adequately trained personnel within countries and territories to develop, implement and administer such programmes.
