Island and Ocean Ecosystems
4 December 2013, Suva Fiji - By Wati Talebula a journalism student at FNU:- A review copy of a report on ecosystem management in the region was released at the 9th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas in Suva this week.
Titled 'Pacific Island Ecosystem Management: Principles, Case Studies and Lessons Learned', a pre-print edition was released by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).
Case studies include those from projects in Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.
This report results from a complete attempt to identify guiding principles for International Ecosystem Management in the Pacific.
The project was implemented through SPREP with funds from UNEP and the Australian Government's AusAid programme, via the International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative.
