2016
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) agreed in 2008 on the need to identify Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) in the world's oceans to focus future conservation and management efforts.
Marine Spatial Planning : First Phase National Consultations report
Climate Change Resilience, Island and Ocean Ecosystems

2022
A national-level Marine Spatial Plan (MSP) is one of the 13 key strategies in the Samoa Ocean Strategy (SOS) 2020-2030. The SOS aims to use the MSP process to support ecosystem-based adaptation while strengthening community engagement in actions that enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change. As part of the MSP process, national stakeholder consultations were conducted to solicit views and gather relevant information for developing a spatial Ocean Plan for Samoa.

Session 1: Introduction to SPREP Roles in Environmental Protection & Sustainable Development.
SPREP Publications, Environmental Monitoring and Governance
Available Online
2022
This session explains the learning objectives and structure of the training workshop before explaining the role of SPREP in supporting environmental protection and sustainable development in the region. EIA is the primary instrument for planning, assessing, and managing development projects, to support sustainable and resilient development goals and green growth development.
Session 2: Overview of PUMA Act

2022
This session aims to explain the current planning laws in Samoa that provides the legal mandate for PUMA DEC and STA to regulate tourism development activities. It is meant to draw attention and stimulate thinking among participants on where their respective roles and responsibilities fit into the fray, particularly in making sure that these laws are properly treated and applied across tourism developments in Samoa.

Towards a guidance document for invasive species planning and management on islands
BRB
Available Online

Tye, A.

2019
In 2012 a process was initiated to produce a guidance document for invasive species management on islands, as an objective of a regional invasive species project in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) islands, implemented by IUCN. The consultative process for producing the document began with requests and discussions via regional and global island and invasives email distribution lists. Initial responses revealed a consensus on the need for a guidance document for programmatic planning. A draft was therefore constructed around existing Pacific regional guidelines and a draft manual that had initially been written for the WIO, with new supplementary sections suggested by respondents. The new draft was discussed and revised in workshops at two international conferences. The document is now organised into three main sections: the first on how to use it, the second a checklist of the essential components of a comprehensive island invasives programme (to ensure nothing is overlooked when planning), and the third providing detailed guidance on the planning and decision-making processes. The document is intended to provide a comprehensive framework and procedural guide for invasive species planning on islands. Further consultations took place by email, and a later draft was tested by a number of users writing various kinds of invasive species strategy and action plan. Publication will be in English, French (both published 2018) and Spanish (scheduled for 2019).

New Caledonia is a tropical archipelago of the South Pacific Ocean, and is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots. However, its unique biodiversity is increasingly threatened by habitat fragmentation and introductions of invasive alien species. Among these invaders, the red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is currently expanding towards the north of the main island. This passerine features in the IUCN-ISSG list of the 100 worst invasive species of the world because of impacts caused by its diet. Thirty-five years after its introduction, we present an overview of data from recent studies conducted in New Caledonia that describe the local status of the red-vented bulbul, its range expansion, and potential impacts on both the local biodiversity and agriculture. Biannual monitoring of the distribution coupled with surveillance at the edges of native forests highlighted a tight association of the bulbul with man-modified habitats. Using a distance sampling method, we estimated that bulbul densities within the distribution core varied from a peak of 200 individuals/km2 in the main city of Nouméa, where the species has been introduced, to 30 individuals/km2 in rural habitats located 50 km away from Nouméa. We conducted a diet analysis on 40 bulbul corpses and found that 82% and 55% of individuals had consumed plant and animal items, respectively. We identified plant and insect species that may be of concern in the contexts of seed dispersal and predation by the red-vented bulbul. Finally, a food colour selection experiment and an open field test showed that the red-vented bulbul had a significant preference for red and sweet fruits. We estimated the economic loss caused by bulbuls to a tomato grower and discuss the result with respect to the development of an adapted management strategy, to prevent further impacts of the red-vented bulbul on the biodiversity and agriculture in the tropical island hotspot of New Caledonia.
