This report was produced by SPREP’s International Waters Project which has two main components. The oceanic component focuses on the management and conservation of tuna stocks in the western central Pacific. The focus of the coastal component is on integrated coastal watershed management.
Barakau was selected as the host site for a number of reasons. These were: (i) relatively easy accessibility from Port Moresby, (ii) manageable population size, (iii) environmental issues relevant to IWP focal areas and (iv) degree of understanding of these environmental concerns by the people and their apparent preparedness to address them.
