The dolphin hunts in the Solomon Islands are typically conducted between January and April, when the seas are calm. Home to the largest drive slaughter of dolphins in the world, annual kills between the years 1976-2013 averaged 850 dolphins per year. Since Dolphin Project began a full-time campaign in 2015 in Fanalei, Solomon Islands, slaughters have dropped to a four-year average of 247 dolphins.
Specifically the report presents:
* the status of sea cucumber stocks in terms of species present, density and population structure, which are
important indicators of stock health;
* baseline information on sea cucumber resources in those sites for future monitoring;
* species that are threatened or endangered from fishing activities and which need to be protect to prevent
local extinctions;
The global seafloor geomorphic features map has been created through collaboration between Geoscience Australia, GRID-Arendal and Conservation International.
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.
