  • Biophysically Special, Unique Marine Areas of FIJI © Stuart Chape
    BIOPHYSICALLY SPECIAL, UNIQUE MARINE AREAS OF FIJI © Stuart Chape BIOPHYSICALLY SPECIAL, UNIQUE MARINE AREAS OF FIJI EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT Marine and coastal ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean provide benefits for all people in and beyond the region. To better understand and improve the effective management of these values on the ground, Pacific Island Countries are increasingly building institutional and personal capacities for Blue Planning. But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, when learning from experiences of centuries of traditional management in Pacific Island Countries. Coupled with scientific approaches these experiences can strengthen effective management of the region’s rich natural capital, if lessons learnt are shared. The MACBIO project collaborates with national and regional stakeholders towards documenting effective approaches to sustainable marine resource management and conservation. The project encourages and supports stakeholders to share tried and tested concepts and instruments more widely throughout partner countries and the Oceania region. This report outlines the process undertaken to define and describe the special, unique marine areas of Fiji. These special, unique marine areas provide an important input to decisions about, for example, permits, licences, EIAs and where to place different types of marine protected areas, Locally-Managed Marine Area and tabu sites in Fiji.

  • Fiji Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan
    FIJI BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN FOREWORD – MINISTER OF THE ENVIRONMENT Fiji signed the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at the Earth Summit held in Rio De Janeiro in 1992, where we pledged our support to play our part along with more than 150 Nations of the World to halt the continuing decline of global biodiversity. We were fortunate to receive a grant under GEF funding in 1997 that required us to develop a National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Fiji in line with the requirements of Article 6 of the CBD. This grant allocation was facilitated by the UNDP, Suva Office who greatly assisted during the project period. Fiji’s NBSAP was completed in October 1999, but due to political events of 2000 to 2002, it was only endorsed by Cabinet in 2003 to allow a democratic government to endorse Fiji’s biodiversity premier report so that it can be seen to be owned by all sectors of our communities which not only include our indigenous resource owners but all resource users which also include more that 50% of Fiji’s population who are non-indigenous people. Fiji’s environment is for all of her people including those of us in this present generation, and of our children, irrespective of our ethnic backgrounds. There are a variety of ecosystems present in Fiji with various habitats containing variety of species of fauna and flora that has helped sustain us all throughout our lifetime. There are endemic species found in our environment but are almost exclusively terrestrial forest species that must be protected because they are not found anywhere else in the world in their natural habitats but only in Fiji.
