Rising oceans, changing lives: Final report is the overview report in a series of technical reports that have been
written for the project on Lifuka Island. Accordingly the section titles in the final report correspond with the
names of the respective technical reports.
This was an integrated effort by all concerned with the coastline in Tonga.
Integrated Coastal management applied conscious management process that acknowledge the interrelationships among most coastal and ocean uses and the environment that potentially affected.

The study was a remarkably productive and enriching experience for all who were involved. It became a forum for critical reflections and analysis. It also built a knowledge and understanding amongst different communities, villages and the survey team.

This report, one of a series of reports from the Tonga Water Supply Master Plan Study, presents the findings of a recent water resources study of the islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. It summarises previous work, documents recent and current investigations and recommends further investigations to gain a better understanding of the water resources. It also outlines details of a proposed national monitoring and protection programme and makes recommendations about legislation for water resource management and protection.
The following study by Mr Furness is his summation of these labours of three years. It is a valuable document for future water management in Tonga and testimony to his professional dedication and his commitment to the Tongan people.
Ministry of Agriculture's entomologist, Mr. Mike Bowie, has sought to raise awareness on various insect species in the Cook Islands, including their features, size, and recommendations on pest control for some of the species. Hence, the release of the Bug of the Week.

PNG's forest cover loss 2000-2017 downloaded from [www.globalforestwatch.org](https://www.globalforestwatch.org/)
From 2001 to 2017, Papua New Guinea lost 1.28Mha of tree cover, equivalent to a 3.0% decrease since 2000, and 158Mt of CO₂ of emissions.
An analysis to collate recent biodiversity surveys within Key Biodiversity Areas in Guadalcanal, Malaita, Renbel and Temotu Provinces. This is a contribution to the EREPA (Ensuring Resilient Ecosystems and Representative Protected Areas in the Solomon Islands) project, with funding through SPREP.
This project focusses on the Key Biodiversity Areas within each of Guadalcanal, Malaita, Renbel and Temotu Provinces, collates recent biodiversity survey data for each of the KBAs and assess whether the KBAs represent biodiversity-rich sites and whether, within the KBAs there are particularly rich areas that may be targetted for future protected area assessment.
The island of New Guinea harbours one of the world’s largest tracts of intact tropical forest, with 41% of its land
area in Indonesian Papua (Papua and Papua Barat Provinces). Within Papua, the advent of a 4000-km ‘development
corridor’ reflects a national agenda promoting primary-resource extraction and economic integration. Papua, a resource frontier containing vast forest and mineral resources, increasingly exhibits new conservation and development dynamics suggestive of the earlier frontier development phases of other Indonesian regions.
