The outputs of these activities would inform MECDM’s outcomes under the MESCAL-SI project in the development of:
1. Mangrove management policies, plans and legislation at national and provincial levels;
2. National, provincial and local level advocacy material and capacity in mangrove co-management.
The resulting marine bioregions of the Solomon Islands as stated in this report will provide a biological and environmental basis for the nation’s MSP process. Specifically, it allows for the identification of candidate sites for an ecologically-representative system of MPAs in the country.
The Commonwealth Litter Project (CLiP) supported Solomon Islands to take action on plastics entering the oceans. Currently 80% of marine litter is estimates to be originated on land and Cefas contracted Asia Pacific Waste Consultants to assess the land waste production rates and waste management performances.
