Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan, North Pentecost

Abstract

The objective of an Integrated Ecosystem Management Planning (IEMP) process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change and other direct anthropogenic impacts. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of Phase 2a and 2b activities that contribute towards the IEMP for North Pentecost (on Pentecost Island), with other reports providing similar overviews for the communities of Tenmaru, Wiawi, and South West Bay (on Malekula Island) (see Figure 1).
