Many of the sea cucumber fisheries in Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) are in a poor state and in need of rehabilitation. This article documents the status of sea cucumbers in the region
This report provides a review of our knowledge of the bycatches, defined as
discarded dead, from the tropical tuna purse seine fisheries of the world. The major
fishing grounds involved (eastern and western Pacific, eastern Atlantic, and western
Indian Oceans) share the gear, the ways of fishing, and the structure of the pelagic
communities. Because of that, the species taken in association with tuna schools tend
to be the same in all regions.
State of Environment (SoE) reports provide in-country partners with a process to gather data on current environmental indicators, document their status, and formulate a plan for keeping these indicators on track or developing policies and programs as needed. This SoE Toolkit dataset contains resources that serve as guides to help create up-to-date State of Environment reports.
A plan for the management of Marine Resources in the region
The injections of lime juice and vinegar offer great advantages when compared to current best practices and constitute a cheap and natural option for all reefs affected by COTS (corallivorous crown-of-thorns)
Human resource development in the Marine sector
This volume is divided into five chapters;
* Chapter 1 provides an overview of the importance of the ocean to Pacific Island people, and describes the key challenges and opportunities the ocean presents.
* Chapter 2 outlines a strategy for managing coastal areas in the Pacific.
* Chapter 3 focuses on the management of shared tuna fisheries and on ways Pacific Island countries could optimize
their benefits under a new regional management regime.
* Chapter 4 analyzes the policy and regulatory environment for seabed mining.
