It is also aligned with the first objective of the GEF-6 CCCD strategy that is to integrate global environmental needs into management information and monitoring systems. It is a direct response to the GEF-funded National Capacity Self- Assessment (NCSA) project conducted in Palau during the period of 2006-2007, which identified environmental information as a constraint for good environmental decision-making and that there was a need for more comprehensive datasets to be made available to stakeholders including decision-makers and also a greater capacity of stakeholders for analyzing and using this information in related policy and programme making. Through a learning-by-doing process, this project will harmonize existing information systems, and integrate internationally accepted measurement standards and methodologies, as well as consistent reporting on the status of the environment in Palau.

The South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency wishes to express its gratitude to PILOM and the host country for the invitation to be present at this year’s meeting.

As the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency enters the 1990s there is increasing pressure on member countries to manage the marine environment and its resources in a sustainable manner. At the same time nearly all member countries are faced with problems arising from diminishing returns from traditional exports, such as copra, and consequently are increasingly being compelled to exploit their natural resources to pay for and maintain essential public services such as health and education. 2. FFA member countries are fortunate in that they control a disproportionately large area of ocean space compared to their total land area, and with it, the living and non-living resources of the ocean. The South Pacific Forum recognized as early as 1977 that one of the ways in which Pacific Island States would be able to realize their economic aspirations would be to cooperate through a regional organization in order to obtain tangible benefits from the resources of the sea.
