Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS)

2023
In July SPREP signed a new Grant Funding Arrangement with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to provide further support to PRISMSS and PRISMSS activities in the region. The project PRISMSS-Restoring Island Resilience will take place up until mid-2026 and spend over NZD 20 million providing much needed human resources to both manage the PRISMSS and coordinate the PRISMSS programmes, develop further multi-country projects, continue with the mainstreaming activities and research initiatives, and invest in scaling up all five PRISMSS programmes across the region. The SPREP Invasive Species Adviser will continue to provide oversight and advice. We look forward to introducing you to the new team in 2024.

2023
The purpose of the Guiding Framework is to support anyone or any institution planning and implementing invasive species projects or programmes on islands in the Pacific. To this end, this document lists the essential components of a comprehensive and effective invasive species management programme. It has been compiled in consultation with experts and Pacific Island countries and territories, to support them in developing their invasive species work and to guide regional and international agencies. The Guiding Framework has been endorsed by all countries and territories in the Pacific islands region and the metropolitan countries with jurisdictional responsibilities in the Pacific via the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and Pacific Community (SPC) Meetings.

Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS)

2023
The PRISMSS team and partners have had a very busy start to 2023, with borders now open and allowing the delivery of in-country operational and technical support in the region. A one-week meeting was held at the PRISMSS headquarters at SPREP, Apia, which brought together the PRISMSS partners and affiliates to discuss key risks, issues, and opportunities for PRISMSS, and share an understanding of partners roles and responsibilities moving forward. With those matters being scrutinized, 2023 is already looking very exciting and we are looking forward to connecting again with the Battlers on the ground to address their priority needs in the invasive species management space.

2022
Welcome to 2022. Your PRISMSS team has continued to progress the development of systems and processes to improve assistance to the Pacific for the five PRISMSS programmes. These systems will allow for streamlined requests and assistance with PRISMSS partners, the storage and retrieval of country specific and programme specific information and allow for analysis at a greater and more beneficial level for countries, PRISMSS and donors. PRISMSS will once again host the upcoming Battler Lounge Session in April. This will focus the Natural Enemies -Natural Solutions Programme and the benefits to climate change adaptation. This will also initiate a process to determine high priority widespread weeds at the regional level to focus on for the development of natural enemy opportunities for the future. Lets look forward to 2022 and the increased opportunities that may come with it.

Designing Coastal Adaptation Strategies to Tackle Sea Level Rise

Bongarts Lebbe, Théophile

2021
Faced with sea level rise and the intensification of extreme events, human populations living on the coasts are developing responses to address local situations. A synthesis of the literature on responses to coastal adaptation allows us to highlight different adaptation strategies. Here, we analyze these strategies according to the complexity of their implementation, both institutionally and technically. First, we distinguish two opposing paradigms – fighting against rising sea levels or adapting to new climatic conditions; and second, we observe the level of integrated management of the strategies. This typology allows a distinction between four archetypes with the most commonly associated governance modalities for each. We then underline the need for hybrid approaches and adaptation trajectories over time to take into account local socio-cultural, geographical, and climatic conditions as well as to integrate stakeholders in the design and implementation of responses. We show that dynamic and participatory policies can foster collective learning processes and enable the evolution of social values and behaviors. Finally, adaptation policies rely on knowledge and participatory engagement, multi-scalar governance, policy monitoring, and territorial solidarity. These conditions are especially relevant for densely populated areas that will be confronted with sea level rise, thus for coastal cities in particular.
