Solomon Islands marine assessment: technical report of survey conducted May 13 to June 17

Abstract

Reflecting their concern and that of the community representatives who participated in the survey, the survey team has offered a range of recommendations for the conservation and sustainable use of the globally, nationally and locally important marine habitats and resources in the Solomon Islands. These include specific recommendations for the establishment of networks of locally managed marine areas, the management of critically important reef fisheries, the protection of key habitats (coral reefs, seagrasses and mangroves), and the conservation of oceanic cetaceans and associated habitats.
