Conservation can best be achieved when conservation values are part of the mainstream
of society, when they become part of everyones decisions including government, private
enterprise and the community as a whole. This was recognized by the more than 320
participants from Pacific island governments, Pacific and international organizations and
community groups when they met in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in July 2002 for the 7th
Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas

Coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The degradation and loss of these ecosystems, stemming from the increased impacts of climate change-related drivers, threaten the well being of island communities in Micronesia, as they are very reliant on and connected with these coastal ecosystems.

Mangrove ecosystems are under pressure due to anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise. The resilience of mangroves will depend on the rate of accretion of sediments compared to the rate of sea level rise and their capability to colonise higher elevation areas or buffer zones. This will also be affected by the measures to protect the existing mangroves against anthropogenic pressures.

Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) can be defined as the extent to which management is protecting values and achieving goals and objectives. The report also reviews attempts to develop headline indicators that would provide essential PAME information for a site, given the challenge of balancing the number of questions and indicators needed for a full assessment with the limited capacity.
