In 2009 following discussions with participants at the Nature Conservation Roundtable held in Solomon Islands, a draft framework for implementing the International Year of Biodiversity (IYOB) in the Pacific was circulated regionally for comment and input. Member countries and territories then endorsed the framework at the 20th SPREP Meeting held in Apia in 2009 and committed to taking action to observe a Pacific focused IYOB during 2010–2011. In February 2010 the Pacific islands region swung into action to celebrate the Pacific Year of Biodiversity (PYOB).

SPREP presents these guidelines for undertaking rapid biodiversity assessments in its Pacific island member countries and territories: Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. These assessments are referred to as BIORAPs. The guidelines are recommended to be used by SPREP members for the planning and implementation of terrestrial and marine BIORAP surveys, and subsequent monitoring of important sites.

Sustainable development Goal 14 of the United Nations aims to "conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development". Achieving this goal will require rebuilding the marine life-support system that deliver the many benefits that society receives from a healthy ocean. Here we document the recovery of marine population, habitats and ecosystems following past conservation interventions. Mitigating the major pressures like climate change could help in achieving structure and functional marine life by 2050.
