Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradication and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrients transfer between their foraging areas, breeding colonies and adjacent nearshore habitats.

Our political and economic relations with Australia, the United States, Canada, Japan and the countries of South-
East Asia are of particular importance. Almost half of our overseas trade is with Pacific countries, and this is growing
steadily. As part of our good neighbour policy, we have tried to help in the economic development of other island
states also, and to increase trade "between South Pacific countries. An important reason why New Zealand and its
The application of remote sensing methods to detect invasive plant species was heavily reliant on species ecology, extent of invasion and available geospatial and remotely sensed image data.

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.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is strengthening regional and national decision-making processes for sustainable management and use of coastal and marine biodiversity by improving the use of information and communication technologies for data management and analysis. Under BioScapes, The Nature Conservancy is working directly with governments in the Marshall Islands, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap and Palau.
The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal biodiversity through effective Invasive Species Management in Kiribati. BirdLife International and EcoOceania will work closely with the WildLife Conservation Unit (WCU) of the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agriculture Development (MELAD) to manage invasive species on two islets on Kiritimati Atoll. This activity will assist the recovery of two globally endangered seabirds (Phoenix Petrel and Polynesian Storm Petrel) and strengthen ecosystem resilience in Kiritimati.
The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources through the use of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to achieve key ecological, economic, cultural and social objectives. Under the Programme, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will work closely with the Government of the Cook Islands to support marine conservation initiatives and sustainable planning activities.
