Description
This report (Technical Report HCSU-002, November 2006) presents a summary of the research and management needs for natural resources of the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands. Each chapter addresses the history, current status, trends, uses and threats of major coastal resources including terrestrial, freshwater, marine and near-shore habitats. Species of concern are also identified including those of particular economic importance. Abiotic aspects of each island group are also characterized. Major resource management issues are identified and discussed, as well as key aspects of knowledge management and governance issues. Research and capacity building areas needing attention are clearly identified.
