The objective of an Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change and other direct anthropogenic impacts. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of Phase 2a and 2b activities that contribute towards the Integrated Ecosystem Management Plan for South West Bay (on Malekula Island), with other reports providing similar overviews for the communities of Laone (Pentecost Island) and Tenmaru and Wiawi (on Malekula Island).
