This bibliographic study enhances the need for rapid assessment techniques using biological information to evaluate the risk from the effects of fishing on shark conservation.
This guide helps to support and improve the protection and management of marine areas
This paper provides information on degradable plastics and is intended to provide guidance on potential mechanisms for achieving reductions in plastic bag consumption
An international collaboration to study, synthesize, and share the scientific information about marine reserves and other types of marine protected areas around the world.
Research for this study was carried out under a two-year project to support the implementation of Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) at two catchment-to-reef sites on Vanua Levu, Fiji, during which conservation planning approaches were trialled using EBM tools to evaluate options for re-designing marine protected area (MPA) network
The workshop aimed to equip island countries, and countries with islands, with the tools and information needed for urgent responses to the threats associated with alien invasive species
Natural resource management
Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity
This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP)
Documenting the recent progress in addressing a growing threat to ocean biodiversity and ecosystems
The main impacts of myna are on native birds and on people, by feeding on food crops such as papaya and tomato, nesting in buildings, and roosting in large, noisy night-time gatherings.
This fact sheet covers info on;
* What are aquatic invasive species?
* How are aquatic invasives introduced?
* Some facts about aquatic invasives
Because V. encelioides possesses numerous invasive characteristics and has already invaded many other parts of the world, it is important to develop a comprehensive understanding of the plant to limit its spread within Hawai‘i and prevent invasion of other Pacific island ecosystem
The purpose of this document is to support economic analysis in Pacific island countries (government and non-government organisations) by:
* illustrating the various steps involved in conducting a CBA using examples that are familiar to Pacific Islanders in context, content and challenges;
* providing practical tools to support local CBA; and
* promoting a consistent approach to CBA.
This report discusses the core elements of a management system for humphead wrasse, making considerations about major fisheries management objectives, management measures, enforcement, monitoring and fisheries assessment.
This book is of worldwide benefit to people, for assessment and management of biological invasion risks
