An implementation video of marine component taken place in Samoa. There were 9 coastal communities involved, 4 from Upolu and 5 from the big island of Savaii. All these communities are vulnerable to climate change and affects their marine and coastal environment.

Marine litter negatively affects the environment, people and coastal economies around the world. In the Pacific region, the problem is even more severe given countries’ reliance on healthy ocean ecosystems and services.

To better inform senior policy makers and decision makers and other stakeholders, including through UNFCCC processes, the Secretariat of Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) sought the services of science illustrators/ communicators/ graphic designers to develop short visualisations highlighting the implications of climate change impacts for Pacific fisheries.

The negative effects of ocean warming and ocean acidification on the heath and extent of living coral reefs will reduce the amount of habitat available for many coastal fish species in the Pacific Island region. Taken together, the direct and indirect effects of climate change on coastal fish species will reduce the number of fish available for food security of Pacific Island people who have traditionally depended heavily on fish for food, and the number of livelihoods that can be supported by fishing in coastal waters

The movement of tuna in this way will have a serious impact on the economies of a number of Pacific Island Countries. Lower catches of tuna from their waters will reduce their collective income from tuna-fishing access fees by 20% by 2050 under a continued high greenhouse gas emissions scenario. This will limit the funds that these countries have to develop their health and education systems and to build necessary infrastructure like roads
