Kinch, Jeff

The International Waters Project (IWP)1 is a 7-year, USD 12 million initiative concerned with management and conservation of marine, coastal and freshwater resources in the Pacific islands region, and is specifically intended to address the root causes of environmental degradation related to trans-boundary issues in the Pacific. The project includes two components: an integrated coastal and watershed management component, and an oceanic fisheries management component (the latter has been managed as a separate project). It is financed by the Global Environment Facility under its International Waters Programme. The coastal component is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme and executed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), in the conjunction with the governments of the 14 independent Pacific Island countries: Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nine, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The coastal component supports national and community-level actions2 that address priority environmental concerns relating to marine and fresh water quality, habitat modification and degradation and unsustainable use of living marine resources through a 7-year phase of pilot activities, which Started in 2000 and will conclude at the end of 2006.

UNDP, Government of Solomon Islands, GEF

The National Capacity Self Assessment Project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through UNDP is assisting stakeholders in Solomon Islands self asses their capacity to address global and environment issues and develop a plan of action to address priority capacity building needs. The project focuses on three international Conventions, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). This thematic report focuses on the UNFCCC and is a follow up from an earlier stocktake report. The thematic assessment process is intended to identify climate change issues and a range of related convention requirements that are not adequately addressed, their underlying causes, the contributing factors, and the key barriers. The analysis leads to an assessment of the nature of the capacity needs and opportunities for capacity development. This report presents the outcomes of a comprehensive analysis of the stock take report and recommendations from a national consultation workshop in July 2006 that considered the Stock-take report, and establishes the root causes of the capacity gaps identified.

Financial assessment of the marine trade of corals in Solomon Islands

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Kinch, Jeff

Lal, Padma

For the Pacific Islands, the aquarium trade based on wild harvest of coral and other marine aquarium products is an important source of livelihoods for rural communities. However, concerns over its environmental effects have led to experimentation with and promotion of the culture of coral and other products. Until recently, very few studies have seriously investigated the scope, potential, impacts, costbenefits or long-term financial and bio-economic viability of wild collecting over the culture of marine aquarium commodities, particularly coral, or a combination of both activities.

Reef and Rainforest: An environmental encyclopedia of Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Islands

Hviding, E.

Marovo Lagoon is an area of coral reefs and small islands that is part of Solomon Islands, a Melanesian country in the south Pacific (See map). Its name derives from Marovo Island, one of the first localities where European traders and navigators made regular friendly contact with local peoples in the early 19th century. The people of Marovo traditionally make their living by fishing, collecting shells and doing small-scale agriculture, although today they are also involved in logging and tourism. The current population numbers some 12,000 individuals.
