This synthesis report is based on a series of detailed technical reports prepared for SPREP and the Solomon Islands Government by BMT WBM, in collaboration with Ecological Solutions Solomon Islands, the University of Queensland, and Aither for the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project.
A fact sheet on how Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) helps Solomon Islands to adapt.
The report and its summary aim to support efforts to address air pollution in Asia and the Pacific by providing options for tackling air pollution in the context of the SDGs.
A summary of the Air Pollution in Asia and Pacific main report.
The objectives were to determine:
(1) the extent of damage to habitats important to coastal fisheries
(2) direct impacts on the ability of the communities to access marine resources
(3) how best to guide post-tsunami relief for rehabilitation of fisheries, development of sustainable fishery-based livelihoods and resource management planning
This ecosystem profile focuses on conservation outcomes (biodiversity targets against which the success of investments can be measured) as the scientific basis for determining CEPF’s geographic and thematic niche for investment.
The NDS focuses on two key areas; social and economic livelihoods, hence its National Vision “**Improving the Social and Economic Livelihoods of all Solomon Islanders”.**
Report "Marine Atlas. Maximizing Benefits for Solomon Islands."
The NDS 2016-2035 maps out a strategic direction for the future development of Solomon Islands.
Solomon Islands is composed of almost 1000 islands and has the second longest coastline and the second largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Pacific. These physical characteristics and the unique society and culture of the population are the basis of the fundamental relationship that Solomon Islanders have with the ocean. The Marine Atlas for the Solomon Islands compiles over a hundred datasets from countless data providers and for the first time makes marine and coastal information accessible and usable as data layers and as raw data.
Material compiled by MACBIO on Marine ecosystem service valuation (MESV) in general and on MESV performed for Solomon Islands in 2015.
Marine ecosystem service valuation refers to the process of quantifying the human benefits of marine ecosystems in monetary units. Economic value is typically calculated as the gross value of an activity or product, minus costs, such as the cost of boats, nets, and wages for a fishing fleet.
Arnavon Community Marine Conservation Area (ACMCA) was first established in 1995 and aims to conserve all species inhabiting the Arnavon Islands. Within the project MACBIO ACMCA was one of the focus areas. Analysis and lessons learned are summarised in this dataset. (2017)
