The Pacific Network for Environmental Assessment (PNEA) Portal is an initiative of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to support government officials from Pacific Island countries and territories who work with environmental impact assessment (EIA), strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as well as Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS).
The portal complements SPREP’s current capacity building program for EIA and SEA - including the recently launched Regional EIA Guidelines, the Coastal Tourism EIA guidelines, and SEA guidelines.

The Invasive Species Battler series has been developed to share what we have learned about common invasive species issues in the region. They are not intended to cover each issue in depth but to provide information and case-studies that can assist you to make a decision about what to do next or where to go for further information.

This status review is a compilation of the most recent literature and statistics on the status of sea turtles in the Pacific Ocean region, providing a clearer understanding of the risks to sea turtles and their habitats. It presents a summary of the relevant (published) literature and knowledge about sea turtle reproductive biology, movements, and connectivity, and presents these alongside relevant threats that, in combination, are pertinent to understanding the status of sea turtle populations in the Pacific Ocean.
This new Pacific islands framework for nature conservation and protected areas 2021-2025 was endorsed during the conference and subsequently at the 30th SPREP Meeting by 26 members countries and territories in 2021. It reflects the urgent need for transformative action in response to the multiple accelerating threats, both established and emerging, that are faced by nature and people in the Pacific.

The National Environment Pollution Awareness Workshop conducted at Funafuti in Tuvalu on 11 - 13 May 1993 came about as a result of the assembling of environmental priorities within countries of the South Pacific under the National Environment Management Strategy (NEMS) Programme. The identification of the lack of proper waste management and pollution control measures were regarded as priorities that had to be addressed.

The environmental needs of small island developing countries were given special attention at the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 as was the need to determine "how the new global framework for sustainable development can be put into action in island countries" (Miles, 1993, p. 34). The environment is a vital resource for all island developing states. Its special
Economic development activities in the South Pacific island countries have increased in momentum in recent years, often with
significant environmental effects on the limited resource base of island ecosystems.

Environmental Impact Assessment is the assessment of the impact that a development project will have on the environment.
EIA is a management activity, like architecture, engineering design, economic assessment, and market, research. The goal of an EIA is to predict how a development project will effect the natural and human environment, and to minimize the effects.

The paramount policy objective of the Niuean Government is to work for the maintenance of a 'living community'. The promotion of economic development in Niue is essential to the maintenance of a living community because it provides a sense of purpose which can no longer be derived from traditional subsistence activities, or even from Public Service employment, unless there is a wider community to serve. This sense of purpose becomes
Until recently, pollution of the environment was considered a
serious problem only in the highly industralised and heavily
populated areas of the world. However, with the steady
increase in population, urban migration and an increase in
industrial development, the need to reduce pollution of the
air, water resources (both fresh and estuarine) and in some
cases of land in developing countries is becoming quite
critical. This, is particularly important in the South Pacific
in view of the geographical isolation and the ecological
The Strategy and Work Programme states that there is little information available on the level of shipping activities operating through, into, and within the region, and on the types of cargoes involved. Accordingly, the document proposes that a study of shipping activities in the region be carried out. Recent information suggests that the study may be funded through SPKEP in the foreseeable future.

The fifteen Cook Islands are distinguished by being vastly separated from
each other and varying greatly in terms of their population numbers and
resource endowments. The necessity therefore arises in this Country Report
to make a distinction, geographically, between environmental concerns on
the larger, more densely and more technologically developed Rarotonga;
the other southern Cook high islands with their mixed volcanic and limestone
soils, balanced populations and reasonably harmonious development? and
A generalized policy of consideration of environmental
factors in resource development exists, but has not been
