Sharing stories and dreams of women from mangrove-dependent communities in sustaining fish stocks, protecting the ecosystem and sustaining livelihoods.

In light of the many existing guidebooks already available to support CBA (cost benefit analysis), this document is intended only as an introductory guide with a focus on the practical application of CBA in the Pacific. It indicates key questions and issues to address but it does not explain the theoretical concepts underpinning CBA.

A fact sheet on aquatic invasive species.

sharing stories of women from mangrove-dependent communities

The purpose of this document is to support economic analysis in Pacific island countries (government and non-government organisations) by:

* illustrating the various steps involved in conducting a CBA using examples that are familiar to Pacific Islanders in context, content and challenges;

* providing practical tools to support local CBA; and

* promoting a consistent approach to CBA.

This fact sheet covers info on;

* What are aquatic invasive species?

* How are aquatic invasives introduced?

* Some facts about aquatic invasives

This guide introduces environmental indicators and provides an overview of SPREP’S core indicators for Pacific island countries. In 2012, the SPREP members approved the development of a set of standardised indicators for use by member countries at the SPREP meeting. Through the Inform project, SPREP programmes then developed a set of 34 indicators that was endorsed by members at the 2018 SPREP meeting. This document explains the development and use of environmental indicators in Part 1 and provides a summary of each of the 34 ‘core’ indicators in Part 2.

This map illustrates effects of the Hunga Tonga-hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption in Nomuka island (Mu'omu'a district, Tonga) and damage assessment as detected from a Pleiades image acquired on 17 January 2022.

250 structures identified. 104 structures were analyzed in the cloud-free area and 41 structures were identified as damaged and almost all the structures were covered with ash. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field

The report describes Preliminary Satellite-Derived Damage Assessment Status for the Kingdom of Tonga - Affected structures and affected facilities observed in all island after tsunami triggered by volcanic eruption.
