SPREP has now partnered with the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) to produce these EIA guidelines for
coastal tourism development, which is defined as any physical tourism development that occurs in the area from the
upland forest out to the reef edge. Based on this definition, entire islands may be in the coastal zone, especially if they
are small low-lying islands and atolls.
This book addresses the economic component of ESD (ecological sustainable development) in the Pacific. It is primarily concerned with the role that conventional economic issues plays in the viability of natural resource and environmental projects in the Pacific. As the success of projects also depends on relevant scientific knowledge and appropriateness of an activity, it is assumed in this book that this knowledge and know-how is already available.
These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.
It is a one page poster which reflects the outcomes of the 2007 Alotau conference and provides principles and critical components to deliver nature conservation in the pacific.
This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law

The NDMP places emphasis on a mainstreamed and multi-sectoral approach to promote disaster resilience in Samoa, focusing on prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. The NDMP aims to be holistic and address all known hazards that Samoa is vulnerable to, taking into account lessons learnt while building on existing systems and practices at different levels. The approach also aims to improve coordination of operational and management procedures.
The Samoa National Action Plan (NAP) for Disaster Risk Management is an operational document that should be read in conjunction with the National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) 2017-2020. The NAP also provides a day-to-day guide for operations and a monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) framework to assess performance and advance accountability of the Disaster Management Office (DMO).
The findings of the Baseline Survey will provide water and sanitation professionals such as policy makers and utilities alike with the necessary information to guide policy development and targeted interventions on the ground.
