Abstract
|
The coral reefs of these 7 countries continue to degrade as a result of human pressures,
with a new threat emerging in 2000 and 2002. Coral bleaching and mortality was not a
problem during the major global bleaching event of 1997-98, but there have been severe
bleaching episodes since then, particularly in Fiji, and to a lesser extent in Tuvalu and
Vanuatu. Bleaching mortality now ranks as probably the major threat to the reefs in this
region, along with over-exploitation of reef fisheries. On the brighter side, there have been
expansions of coral reef monitoring activities and capacity within the GCRMN and Reef
Check frameworks. Similarly, many local and international NGOs have assisted
communities to establish their own MPAs to monitor and conserve their coral reef
resources. This is strongest in Samoa and Fiji, with some encouraging initiatives in
Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Coral health and fish populations are now increasing in some
of these MPAs. Ethnic tension in the Solomon Islands has meant an almost total
breakdown in government conservation activities, and the immediate prospects for
conservation are not encouraging.
