(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

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

The bolded ecosystem services in this table are likely to be less resilient to future climate conditions
