Federated States of Micronesia : National Environmental Management Strategy (NEMS)
Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) (SPREP)
1993
These Nationwide Environmental Management Strategies are simply one snapshot in time. They are framed in the context of needs as perceived by Micronesians today. Needs can change, and rapidly at that, so there is a need to plan for review of the NEMS now, at inception. An annual review in the context of budget preparation has been advocated. In addition, a major review should be undertaken towards the end of the current SNDP in the form of a Second Nationwide Seminar on Environmental Management Strategies and Programs to recast these NEMS for carriage into the 21st century.
