Through BioScapes, turtle extinction risk assessments from the Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) programme will be utilised to develop regional threat reduction activities for five species of marine turtles. National turtle monitoring coordinators will be established to improved national monitoring and awareness raising for turtle conservation. A network of long-term turtle nesting survey sites will be established in selected Pacific Island countries.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is providing support to produce the Samoa National Marine Sanctuary Management Plan (SNMSMP) which will provide guidance for government and the public to implement existing regulations which established the sanctuary to protect whales, dolphins, sharks, rays and turtles.

Members of the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium met at the University of Auckland from 8-12 February, 2009 to discuss (i) the results of fieldwork and analysis conducted during 2008 and, (ii) conservation initiatives in the region. As with previous synoptic surveys dating back to the austral winter of 1999, surveys of humpback whales were conducted to collect genetic samples, individual identification photographs and song recordings in the four primary regions: New Caledonia, Tonga (Vava’u), Cook Islands and French Polynesia (Moorea).

Some presentations refer to the term Marine Managed Area (MMA) instead of Marine Protected Area (MPA) in order to cover more management options. The workshop proposed and adopted a rough typology of MM As that will be useful to communicate with the key decision makers (land use planners, coastal zone planners and managers, regional planners, protected area planners and managers, community leaders, sectorial planners in fisheries and environment...)Available onlineCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 28 p.
