Under the MESCAL project, the objectives of this assessment are to;

* Improve understanding of mangrove ecosystem functions, values, key threats, and processes at a local and regional scale;

* Provide a standardized method to assess shoreline mangrove condition and change over time;

* Generate community awareness of mangroves and encourage local environmental stewardship;

* Conduct a rapid and representative survey of fish and mobile crustacean assemblages;

PEBACC - Pacific Ecosystems-based Adaptation to Climate Change - is a five year project funded by the German government and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to explore and promote ecosystem-based options for adapting to climate change. The overall intended outcome of the project is: Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is integrated into development, climate change adaptation and natural resource management policy and planning processes in three Pacific island countries providing replicable models for other countries in the region.

The Solomon Islands State of Environment (SoE) Report presents an overview across seven thematic areas: Culture and Heritage, Atmosphere and Climate, Coastal and Marine, Freshwater Resources, Land, Biodiversity and Built Environment. The report uses the ‘Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact and Response’ (DPSIR) model to describe the environment. As far as possible the report is based on quantitative data relating to the state of the environment, supplemented by stakeholder input to describe causal relationships and environmental effects.

The outputs of these activities would inform MECDM’s outcomes under the MESCAL-SI project in the development of:
1. Mangrove management policies, plans and legislation at national and provincial levels;
2. National, provincial and local level advocacy material and capacity in mangrove co-management.

Baseline study for adaptation planning at national, provincial and community levels in Solomon Islands

This synthesis report provides an overview of the first seven steps involved to identify, prioritize, and implement ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) projects in Honiara, Solomon Islands, and is based on a detailed series of technical reports prepared for the PEBACC project by BMT WBM, in collaboration with Ecological Solutions Solomon Islands and the University of Queensland.

EbA options assessment – identification and prioritisation of EbA options for Wagina Island.

The aim of the ESRAM study was to provide a baseline overview of ecosystems and ecosystem services, to inform subsequent EbA phases of the PEBACC project involving the identification of EbA options for strengthening the resilience of Solomon Islands to the impacts of climate change
