Addressing unsustainable resource use and environmental degr adation is a central challenge for people of the Pacific. Many programs, past and present, have grappled with such issues as nature conservation, climate change, sustainable use of marine and land based resources, and waste management.

The goal of this manual is to encourage and support seabird conservation and research across the region, particularly in areas where this work is just starting out. We consider all of the proven methods and survey types that are currently in use across the region, to provide readers with the tools required to run successful seabird survey and monitoring programmes. To further illustrate how successful projects can be undertaken, real world case studies are presented – written by experts currently working in the field.

Some presentations refer to the term Marine Managed Area (MMA) instead of Marine Protected Area (MPA) in order to cover more management options.
