Not only are South Pacific marine environments thought to be among the most unique in the world, but South Pacific communities also rely on these environments for their livelihoods. However these marine habitats are also under the threat from pollution, climate and overfishing. This manual aims to support teachers to plan lessons around marine conservation. The educational philosophy is to foster a sense of responsibility among students, such that they are able to participate in making decisions that impact their environment.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources in Kiribati through the use of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to achieve key ecological, economic, cultural and social objectives. This approach acknowledges the integration of atoll ecosystems with those offshore and will assist the government of Kiribati to develop atoll-level bioregional maps. These maps will support the management of both terrestrial and marine species habitats.
