National Policy on Integrated Ocean Governance that was developed by Ocean12 and endorsed by Solomon Islands Government in December 2018. SINOP is based on 5 chapters: Ocean Governance, Ocean Environment, Ocean People, Ocean Threats and Ocean Use
This synthesis report is based on a series of detailed technical reports prepared for SPREP and the Solomon Islands Government by BMT WBM, in collaboration with Ecological Solutions Solomon Islands, the University of Queensland, and Aither for the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project.
A fact sheet on how Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) helps Solomon Islands to adapt.
Baseline study for adaptation planning at national, provincial and community levels in Solomon Islands
This synthesis report provides an overview of the first seven steps involved to identify, prioritize, and implement ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) projects in Honiara, Solomon Islands, and is based on a detailed series of technical reports prepared for the PEBACC project by BMT WBM, in collaboration with Ecological Solutions Solomon Islands and the University of Queensland.
EbA options assessment – identification and prioritisation of EbA options for Wagina Island.
EbA options assessment – identification and prioritisation of EbA options for Honiara
The aim of the ESRAM study was to provide a baseline overview of ecosystems and ecosystem services, to inform subsequent EbA phases of the PEBACC project involving the identification of EbA options for strengthening the resilience of Solomon Islands to the impacts of climate change
The bolded ecosystem services in this table are likely to be less resilient to future climate conditions

The report and its summary aim to support efforts to address air pollution in Asia and the Pacific by providing options for tackling air pollution in the context of the SDGs.
A summary of the Air Pollution in Asia and Pacific main report.
The objectives were to determine:
(1) the extent of damage to habitats important to coastal fisheries
(2) direct impacts on the ability of the communities to access marine resources
(3) how best to guide post-tsunami relief for rehabilitation of fisheries, development of sustainable fishery-based livelihoods and resource management planning
In most villages, affected families lost on average 1 canoe or less, but from the 40 households in Tapurai predisaster, it was estimated that more than 58 canoes were lost.

Villagers explained that losses of fishing gear were related to the destruction of houses. Fishing gear (lines, goggles, spears etc.) was stored within houses and if a house was washed away by the wave then all gear was lost. An indication of the types of gear that were lost or damaged in the tsunami is given in this data, based on individual interviews with fisher.

This ecosystem profile focuses on conservation outcomes (biodiversity targets against which the success of investments can be measured) as the scientific basis for determining CEPF’s geographic and thematic niche for investment.
