Not only are South Pacific marine environments thought to be among the most unique in the world, but South Pacific communities also rely on these environments for their livelihoods. However these marine habitats are also under the threat from pollution, climate and overfishing. This manual aims to support teachers to plan lessons around marine conservation. The educational philosophy is to foster a sense of responsibility among students, such that they are able to participate in making decisions that impact their environment.

Micro-hydroelectricity in Solomon Islands: current status October 2010
Available Online

Lynch, Peter D

2010
82% of Solomon Islanders reside in rural areas predominantly in village groupings. The majority of villages are located near to rivers for supply of drinking and washing water. The mountainous nature of the majority of the country offers significant potential for renewable electricity generation through the use of micro-hydroelectric technology. However, only nine systems exist, and of these only six have proven reliable. It is suggested micro-hydro has the potential to supply the significant bulk of Solomon Islands’ electricity needs. However, it is argued that current international donor transparency procedures associated with feasibility studies have created an environment that stalls developments.

The marine ornamental trade became active in Solomon Islands in the mid-1980s, primarily through the wild harvest of corals and fish. The initiation of more sustainable techniques (cultured giant clams and farmed corals) did not occur until the late-1990’s through projects initiated under the auspices of ICLARM (former WorldFish) (Kinch, 2004). Since that time the marine ornamental trade (still primarily through wild harvest) has provided a modest income for some rural coastal communities in Solomon Islands (with a reduced trade and a cessation of the production of giant clams during the 1999 – 2001 ethnic tension), and two exporting companies remain active.

This is the final report of the NZAID-funded project that aimed to establish a viable commercial enterprise for the culture of marine ornamentals for the aquarium trade as a livelihood option in the Western Province, Solomon Islands. This report describes the outcomes of phase II (2009-2010) of this two phase project which began in 2005. It also provides an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the full project in providing farmers with the capacity to become involved in a small-scale environmentally sustainable business activity as well as assessing the long-term sustainability of the marine ornamental trade.

Interest in the world’s forests has grown to unprecedented heights, especially with growing awareness of their role in the global carbon cycle. The possibility of mitigating climate change by reducing carbon emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation, and by increasing carbon uptake through afforestation and sustainable forest management, highlights the essential role of forests in supporting life on Earth.

Marine Turtle Species present: Three species of marine turtles have been recorded to occur in Samoa waters. The most common species are hawksbill [Eretmochelys imbricata] and green [Chelonia mydas] turtles, while only a few specimens of leatherback turtles [Dermochelys coriacea] have been caught tangled in long-line fishing lines for tuna in Samoan waters. Marine turtle satellite tagging by L’Aquarium des Lagons (New Caledonia) and NOAA in 2008 showed that one of the juvenile loggerheads released from the Marine Nationale Patrouilleur la Glorieuse, New Caledonia, travelled eastward and was near Samoa’s EEZ when the signal ceased. It is very likely that that loggerhead entered Samoan waters thus indicating the presence of that species. Hawksbill turtle is the only species known to nest in Samoa
