Description
This project aims to gain more detailed information on observed coral bleaching, including factors causing health problems to the corals and ciguatera fish poisoning; to establish, implement a sustainable monitoring program to cover two atolls; to pilot a restoration scheme for coral species in areas of low growth; and to establish marine protected areas. To establish a project where stock enhancement contributes in maintaining a vigorous coral reef.

The information for this activity was provided by the Adaptation Partnership from their Pacific chapter review of planned and existing adaptation activities. These reviews provide an inventory of regional and country-level adaptation activities and a summary of key adaptation priorities, based on documents like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's National Adaptation Programs of Action and National Communications. They also identify gaps and opportunities for scaling up and enhancing collaboration.
