Full report of the conducted National Marine Ecosystem Service Valuation of Solomon Islands by MACBIO in 2015.
Summary Report of the National Marine Ecosystem Service Valuation of Solomon Islands conducted by MACBIO in 2015.
In the MABCBIO project, ACMCA was taken as focus area for community managed marine protected areas. This report examines the successes, challenges and lessons learned from the Arnavon Islands Community Marine Conservation Area (ACMCA). The objective of this research was to examine the various conservation efforts, methods and approaches applied in the Arnavons and assess what has worked, what has not worked and the main lessons learned.

Draft Marine Bioregions of the Southwest Pacific
This report presents, for the first time, marine bioregions across the Southwest Pacific at a scale, which can be used nationally, as a basis for the systematic identification of an ecologically representative system of marine protected areas.
Technical Brief on Ocean Zones and their Application guidelines for Marine Spatial Planning. Ocean Zones were developed in a workshop by local experts in June 2017. The respective application guidelines were developed based on the defined ocean zones and best scientific knowledge.
Both resources are part of the MSP process commissioned by Ocean12 and supported by the MACBIO project. Ocean12 approved this technical brief in September 2019.
