NorthWest Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP) Special Monitoring & Coastal Environmental Assessmsnet Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC)
Environmental Monitoring and Governance
Available Online
2021
As its name tells, CEARAC mainly conducts various monitoring and assessment of the marine and coastal environment of the NOWPAP region with special monitoring methodologies and tools such as remote sensing. Prolonged worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has restricted people's life and travel all through the year of 2021, and it was inevitable for CEARAC to meet people online. The training course is designed to provide its trainees with both lectures and hands-on sessions of data processing with computer tools, and CEARAC organized it virtually for the first time.

Will climate change impact the potential distribution of a native vine (Merremia peltata) which is behaving invasively in the Pacific region?

Merremia peltata is a species with uncertain status in the island nations of the Pacific region. It has been designated introduced and invasive in some countries whereas it is considered native in others. Recent increase in its abundance across some island landscapes have led to calls for its designation as an invasive species of environmental concern with biological control being suggested as a control strategy. Climate change will add to the complications of managing this species since changes in climate will influence its range limits. In this study, we develop a process-oriented niche model of M. peltata using CLIMEX to investigate the impacts of climate change on its potential distribution. Information on the climatic requirements of M. peltata and its current geographic distribution were used to calibrate the model. The results indicate that under current climate, 273,132 km2 of the land area in the region is climatically unsuitable or marginal for M. peltata whereas 664,524 km2 is suitable to highly suitable. Under current climate, areas of climatic suitability for M. peltata were identified on the archipelagos of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. By the end of the century, some archipelagos like Fiji, Hawaii, New Caledonia and Vanuatu will probably become more suitable while PNG and Solomon Islands become less suitable for M. peltata. The results can be used to inform biosecurity planning, management and conservation strategies on islands.
