Marine Monitoring Toolkit Vanuatu - Presented at Climate Change Conference

 

Community engagement, participation and empowerment are key to successful adaptation actions at the local level. A novel marine monitoring toolkit has been developed with the participation of community resource monitors to inform local action and management. It has been piloted in North Efate, Vanuatu to allow communities to take ownership of monitoring their marine resources.

OceansWatch (OW) has been coming to Vanuatu since 2008 and has carried out work throughout the country from Efate, Malekula, Epi to Espirito Santo to Gaua and Vanua Lava. Primarily work has been carried out in the more isolated communities where other Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have not been able to access.
