The development of a 'standard' task list against which Members' current levels of knowledge and skills were assessed, was extremely useful not only in enabling data gathering and
comparison but also in serving as a training tool in and of itself, because it enlightened Member participants on the range of tasks involved in the different environmental fields. Most
importantly it highlighted that most jobs held a diverse array of knowledge and skills that current SPREP training does not adequately fulfil, particularly those of conservation

The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) several years ago
identified the mismanagement of hazardous chemicals in the Pacific Island Countries as a
serious environmental concern, and hence the Persistent Organic Pollutants in Pacific
Island Countries (POPs in PICs) project was developed as an AusAID funded initiative,
to be carried out by SPREP. POPs are a group of twelve particularly hazardous
chemicals that have been singled out by the recent Stockholm Convention for urgent

fringing reefs of the two detached islands, Nu'utele and Nu'ulua. The area behind the coastal fringing reef to the shoreline was a shallow (<4 m deep) area of sand, rubble, seagrass beds and mixed coral

Most South Pacific island countries are characterised by small land masses surrounded by vast stretches of ocean. As such the marine environment is an important resource base for
the people of these countries, with the livelihood of many people being closely connected with the sea. The potential for enhanced development and utilisation of
marine resources is considerable, particularly as the demand for resources increases and the land becomes limited in its capacity to fulfil this demand. It is therefore imperative that

The marine environment is an important resource base for the people of the South Pacific island countries. The livelihood of
many people in this region is closely connected with the sea. The potential for enhanced development and utilisation of
marine resources is considerable, particularly as the demand for resources increases and the land becomes limited in its capacity to fulfil
this demand. It is therefore imperative that appropriate measures are taken to safeguard the quality of the marine environment.

Healthy coral reefs play a major role in the economies of coastal and island countries, providing fish and
other food for local people and visitors and recreation for tourists and SCUBA divers. Coral reefs form
natural breakwaters that protect the shore from erosion by waves and storms.

This review of Nine's current environmental concerns was undertaken through consultations with government departments, workshops with civil society conducted by the Environment Unit and the Fisheries Division, and a literature review. It was produced for a twofold purpose: the International Waters Programme, which funded the work, and preparations for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. For the latter, there was also some assessment of progress over the past ten years since
the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

The watersheds of the Cook Islands provide residents and visitors with a wide range of environmental services such as the supply of drinking water, natural filtration of freshwater run-off, recreational opportunities and scenery. Whilst important the value of these services is not readily apparent in economic terms. This means they can easily be overlooked in decision making and policy formulation. There is a pressing need to better understand the economic value of the nation's watersheds to raise awareness and inform investment and regulatory decisions.

The primary resources for tins project were the statutes of Fiji. Several dozen enacted laws govern the allocation and disposition of resources, or access to and use of the environment. Together, this legislation provides the framework for natural resources and environmental decision making. Three other relevant statutes exist in draft form. Much of the effort of this project was devoted to reviewing this legislation, to identify both its policy intention and substantive provisions. Governmental administrators were also approached to clarify
