Air Pollution in Asia and the Pacific: Science-based Solutions aims to support efforts to reduce air pollution in Asia and the Pacific by proposing cost-effective options suited to the countries of the region.
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 Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is designed to safeguard the world’s biologically richest and most threatened regions, known as biodiversity hotspots.

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.

This Tuna Fishery Report Card provides high-level advice on the current status of Pacific tuna fisheries in relation to the goals, indicators and strategies adopted by Forum Leaders in 2015 in the Regional Roadmap for Sustainable Pacific Fisheries. The report card takes into account the work of the Taskforce on Increasing Economic Returns from Fisheries, which was established by the Forum Leaders to develop a programme that will deliver real results within 5 years. Economic indicators now reflect Taskforce-agreed targets.

Technical report of survey conducted May 13-June 17, 2004. The Solomon Islands Marine Assessment represents the first broad scale survey of marine
resources in the Solomon Islands. The survey was conducted over a five-week period from May
13 to June 17 2004, covering a distance of almost 2000-nm and encompassing seven of the nine
provinces. The survey team comprised an international team of scientists and managers,
including some of the world’s experts of coral reefs and associated habitats. The survey
A synthesis of the biological diversity, values and conservation status of sharks and rays of the Solomon Islands.
The report detailed records for the 2013 hunting, up to the time of the visit, included at least 1500 pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata), 159 spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) and 15 ‘bottlenose’ dolphins, probably Tursiops truncatus. Molecular identification confirmed two of the species, pantropical spotted and spinner dolphins. A summary of all available records from 1976 to 2013 documented a minimum total of 15 454 dolphins killed by the Fanalei villagers alone.
Specifically the report presents:
* the status of sea cucumber stocks in terms of species present, density and population structure, which are
important indicators of stock health;
* baseline information on sea cucumber resources in those sites for future monitoring;
* species that are threatened or endangered from fishing activities and which need to be protect to prevent
local extinctions;
