This dataset has the policy paper for marine spatial planning in Marae Moana
A survey of finfish, invertebrates and substrate in Aitutaki & Manuae from September to November 2017.
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas, updated on a monthly basis, and is one of the key global biodiversity data sets being widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, International secretariats and others to inform planning, policy decisions and management. The WDPA is a joint project between UN Environment and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The purpose of this document is to define a way forward for environment statistics and environmental‐
economic accounting in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). It provides a foundation for initiating
statistical development towards improving decisions related to sustainable development and green
economy. It is based on existing national policy documents and a national technical assessment of
environment statistics. This document aims to capture the policy priorities, institutional framework and
This report presents experimental energy accounts for the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Complete physical and monetary accounts are presented for the year 2015 for FSM and each of the four States (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap).
This Shoreline Management Plan was an initiative in 2000 of the Development Review Commission (now Kosrae Island Resource Management Authority). Since the first Plan was produced, much more is now known of the potential changes that will be caused by climate change and sea level rise.
A summary of terrestrial species diversity of Pohnpei
Each state of the FSM has its own outstanding features and biodiversity treasures. This dataset contains a report for the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan project, highlighting the status of FSM's biodiversity, outstanding features of each state as well as recommendations.
The report is structured in three parts. Part I provides an update to the status of biodiversity in the FSM, including emerging trends affecting biodiversity and the implications of these trends and changes on human well-being.
The report focuses on the impact of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan on national development prerogatives, particularly in relation to the minimization and/or reversal of the rate of biodiversity loss, which is the primary goal of the Convention on Biological Diversity; otherwise known as the 2010 Target.
The report was prepared under a grant provided by the United Nations Support to GEF Eligible CBD Parties
