Tonga is ranked as the third most vulnerable country in the world to natural hazards. As a small island developing state on the front line of natural hazards, the additional risks posed by climate change are a critical cause for concern.

The suite of species taken by artisanal fisheries targeting tuna often includes species caught in the larger industrial tuna fisheries, leading to concerns that industrial fisheries may reduce local fish availability and consequently impact upon artisanal catch rates. This study provides supporting evidence that industrial purse seine fisheries may impact upon artisanal and subsistence fishers. A tagged population of skipjack and yellowfin tuna known size was monitored through time and the probability of recapture was used as a measure of interaction with the industrial purse seine fishing effort was higher.

The world’s more than 200 000 protected areas come in many forms, on land and at sea, and occur in every country (Bertzky et al. 2012). They are places that people establish to conserve natural and cultural heritage and to sustain their benefits for society. Among other values, protected areas allow people to connect with nature for their inspiration, education, well-being and recreation. While protecting ecosystems that are essential for life, they can support human livelihoods and aspirations and offer nature-based solutions for the complex challenges faced by the world today.
