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
SPREP Publications, Environmental Monitoring and Governance

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.

The Baja California Pacifc Islands, Mexico, are globally important breeding sites for 22 seabird species and subspecies. In the past, several populations were extirpated or reduced due to invasive mammals, human disturbance, and contaminants. Over the past two decades, we have removed invasive predators and, for the last decade, we have been implementing a Seabird Restoration Programme on eight groups of islands: Coronado, Todos Santos, San Martín, San Jerónimo, San Benito, Natividad, San Roque, and Asunción. This programme includes monitoring; social attraction techniques; removal of invasive vegetation; reducing human disturbance; and an environmental learning and biosecurity programme. Here, we summarise historical extirpations and recolonisations during the last two decades of restoration actions, and we update the status of breeding species after more than a decade. To date, from 27 historically extirpated populations, 80% have returned since the ?rst eradication in 1995. Social attraction techniques were key in recolonisations of Cassin’s auklet (Ptychoramphus aleuticus), royal tern (Thalasseus maximus), and elegant tern (T. elegans). A total of 19 species breed on these islands, four more species than a decade ago, including 12 new records. The most abundant seabirds, black-vented shearwater (Puffnus opisthomelas), Cassin’s auklet, western gull (Larus occidentalis), and Brandt’s cormorant (Phalacrocorax penicillatus), have shown a remarkable population increase. Current threats include the potential reintroduction of invasive mammals, guano mining, recreational activities, pollution, and commercial ?sheries. To maintain these conservation gains in the long-term it is necessary to continue implementing restoration actions and reinforcing protection on these important natural protected areas.
Towards a guidance document for invasive species planning and management on islands

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).
