Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative
The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC), headquartered in Honolulu, but working across the Pacific, integrates local climate models with models of climate-change responses by species, habitats, and ecosystems. The PICCC was established in 2010 to assist those who manage native species, island ecosystems, and key cultural resources in adapting their management to climate change for the continuing benefit of the people of the Pacific Islands.
08. Management Plans and Climate Change
How does one incorporate climate change into a protected area management plan? Incorporating climate change components into protected area planning is a relatively new field and for some practitioners has not been considered in management planning or implementation.
Status of Large Marine Protected Areas in the Pacific
Keep current on the expansion of large marine protected areas (MPA)in the Pacific. MPAtlas is a good source of information.
