Some presentations refer to the term Marine Managed Area (MMA) instead of Marine Protected Area (MPA) in order to cover more management options. The workshop proposed and adopted a rough typology of MM As that will be useful to communicate with the key decision makers (land use planners, coastal zone planners and managers, regional planners, protected area planners and managers, community leaders, sectorial planners in fisheries and environment...)Available onlineCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 28 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to identify and strengthen the management of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) in the Pacific region. These areas are 'sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity’, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The KBA identification process requires a highly inclusive, consultative, and bottom-up, approach focused on the national level when proposing sites to communities.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

Ra is one of four provinces in the Vatu-i-Ra Seascape, which covers over 27,000 km2 of relatively intact coral reefs, seagrass meadows, mangroves, rivers and forests. Local communities in Vanua Nakorotubu depend on coral reef fish for food and income, but degraded catchments and coastal development have resulted in high turbidity in marine waters. This is negatively affecting the marine environment and has also led to an increase in the transmission of waterborne bacterial diseases amongst the local population.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The rapid expansion of kava farms, and the increase in market value for the plant, has resulted in an increased clearing of native forests in key growing zones. Cleared cultivation areas are now penetrating some of the most well preserved native forests of the Pacific region. To what extent this is currently impacting on biodiversity and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) is not yet fully known, especially in Fiji and Vanuatu.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

Understanding perceived equity is key, equity subjective, context-dependent and has implications for legitimacy, cooperation and wellbeing. Since gender in combination with other social characteristics, influence how people benefit or participate in management, examining perceived fairness from an intersectional perspective is crucial.

Globally and locally, conservationists and scientists work to inform policy makers to help recovery of endangered sea turtle populations. In Fiji, in the South Pacific, sea turtles are protected by the national legislation because of their conservation status, and are also a customary iTaukei resource.

The marine environment is a vital resource for Fiji's tourism, yet industry and community efforts to conserve and improve it have largely gone unrecognised, and are under-utilised in Fiji's tourism
