Biodiversity tends to be at a maximum in the
equatorial region in the west of the Pacific Islands
area, and decreases markedly towards the east. For
example, the number of naturally occurring species of
animals and plants is much greater in the Solomon
Islands than in Tahiti. This is also true of the marine
environment, where fish and invertebrate species,
including corals, are far more numerous in the west
of the sub-region than in the east.

This Action Track session will provide a brief snapshot of the current state of knowledge on marine protected areas based on recent analyses conducted for the Oceania region. It will explore the human-ecological nexus and interaction in the context of MPAs, examine how some of the issues surrounding MPA management in the region being addressed, such as Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.

This session will analyze participation in nature conservation in the region through a range of lenses related to good governance (including equity, transparency, and accountability), respect for and incorporation of traditional knowledge, and the extent to which participation can be more effective if people achieve tangible benefits to livelihoods, well-being, and sustainable development.

The role of the youth as "custodians of the future" has been emphasised repeatedly at international conferences related to sustainable development, climate change and environment. Since various UN agencies have been supporting youth participation to ensure the voice of the youth present when international agendas are set. Their participation if motivated based on the facts that half of the world's population is under 30, decision taken today directly affect the lives of youth and youth are the future decision makers.

The Pacific region is by far the largest in terms of surface and is characterized by coral reefs found only around oceanic islands making the region unique. The Pacific region includes more than 25,000 islands. The tropical Pacific region supports approximately 27% (about 66,000 km2) of the total global area of coral reefs. Coral reefs are in integral part of the Pacific culture and provide crucial food resources (25-100% of dietary protein) among many other socio-economic benefits

The loss of nature is global ecological and economic catastrophe. As we have seen with the recent surge of hurricanes and typhoons, when nature's services we've long taken for granted begin to fall, it is poor communities that suffer most. Further, countless of people depend on the marine environment for their livelihoods. Thus addressing the decline of the health of our ocean should be a priority for all.
