On 2 April 2007, a large earthquake and tsunami hit the western Solomon Islands causing varying degrees of damage and disruption to coastal communities. This assessment is focused on immediate damage to and needs of the coastal fisheries, including environment and infrastructure, though the opportunity was taken to assess more general damage and threats to the long term, sustainable recovery of coastal fisheries.
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is an international treaty that requires Parties to phase-out and eliminate the production and use of the most persistent and toxic chemicals that have adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
Solomon Islands acceded to the Convention on 28 July 2004. Under Article 7 of the Convention, the Solomon Islands Government (SIG) is required to develop and endeavour to implement a National Implementation Plan (NIP), outlining how its obligations under the Convention will be met.
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
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”.**
The NDS 2016-2035 maps out a strategic direction for the future development of Solomon Islands.
The Solomon Islands National Waste Management and Pollution Control Strategy 2017-2026 is the country's roadmap for managing waste and controlling pollution in the natural environment for the next 10 years with the vision for clean, healthy and green happy isles.
