The document discusses the Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project and Integrated Water Resources Management projects. It aims to support the sustainable development and management of international waters in Pacific island countries. The projects work on issues such as overfishing, pollution, and inadequate water management. They implement solutions like integrated coastal zone management, fisheries management, and demonstrations of best practices in watershed management, wastewater treatment, and sustainable groundwater use. The projects have made progress but still need to focus more on national implementation, awareness raising, and long-term capacity building.

3. IMPLEMENTING SUSTAINABLE WATER
RESOURCES AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
IN PACIFIC ISLAND COUNTRIES
The Pacific SAP is comprised of one OFM and one IWRM
component and GEF is supporting the implementation of
both
The GEF Pacific IWRM Project is implemented by SOPAC
will run for five years to 2013
UNDP component ($6.1M from GEF):
On-the-ground demonstration activities on IWRM & Water-use
Efficiency (WUE) initiated in 13 PICs ($6.1M)
UNEP Components ($2.1M from GEF):
IWRM & WUE frameworks
Policy, legislative and institutional reform for IWRM & WUE (funded
by EU)
National and regional capacity building

5. OFMP Outline
15 participating Pacific SIDS
5 year life (commenced October 2005)
Financed by $10.9m GEF Grant
Executed by UNDP
Implemented by FFA with SPC, IUCN and WWF
6. OFMP Goals
The global environmental goal of the Project is to achieve
global environmental benefits by enhanced conservation and
management of transboundary oceanic fishery resources in
the Pacific Islands region and the protection of the
biodiversity of the Western Tropical Pacific Warm Pool Large
Marine Ecosystem.
The broad development goal of the Project is to assist the
Pacific Island States to improve the contribution to their
sustainable development from improved management of
transboundary oceanic fishery resources and from the
conservation of oceanic marine biodiversity generally.
7. OFMP Structure
Component 1, the Scientific Assessment and Monitoring
Enhancement Component, (SPC)
improved scientific information and knowledge
strengthening the national capacities of Pacific SIDS in these
areas.
Component 2, the Law, Policy and Institutional Reform,
Realignment and Strengthening Component, (FFA)
assisting Pac SIDS to:
participate in the new WCPF Commission
reform, realign and strengthen their national laws, policies,
institutions and programmes
Component 3, PCU and awareness raising
9. Outcomes
Pilot Phase
WCPF Convention concluded with Pacific SIDS participation
Commission Rules prepared including limits on meetings and full funding
for all 15 Pacific SIDS to all meetings of the Commission and its
subsidiary bodies, including Technical Working Groups
10. Outcomes
Scientific Assessment and Monitoring Enhancement Component
Development of monitoring programmes in all Pacific SIDS with
data now flowing into target species stock assessments and
ecological risk assessments
A focus on stock assessment capacity building and support for
national EAFM analyses following funding of core stock
assessment tasks by the Commission
Assessment of the role of seamounts in oceanic pelagic fisheries
and impacts of seamounts on oceanic biodiversity being
undertaken
Completion of the first phase of the Pacific Tuna Tagging
Programme
Development of trophic structure models
Use of ecosystem models used to test management options and
assess impacts of some climate change scenarios
11. Law, Policy and Institutional Reform, Realignment and Strengthening
Component
Commission is established with all Pacific SIDS having ratified the
Convention
Comprehensive monitoring and compliance programme established, based
largely on Pacific SIDS in-zone programmes including
9, 400 vessels on the Vessel Record
High seas boarding & inspection is operational
2,200 vessels registered to report to the High seas VMS serviced by the
FFA
500 Pacific Island Onboard observers projected to be deployed in 2010
IUU list
This programme establishes several global precedents for high seas
Commission data and science programmes funded from the Commission
budget serviced by SPC
Preliminary catch or effort caps in all major fisheries with initial mitigation
measures for sharks, seabirds and turtles
Law and policy reforms undertaken in almost all Pacific SIDS,
EAFM analyses for management policy reforms undertaken for most Pacific
SIDS using risk assessment approach developed under the Project
12.
13. Shortfalls
Seamount-related activities were initially set back by lack of
research vessel
Collaboration with industry has been disturbed by the
constraints at the regional industry association
The national consultative committees have not functioned
effectively
Currency fluctuations have reduced the real value of project
funding (balanced by increased co-financing)
More work on national implementation is required, especially
in smaller SIDS
Inadequate priority on awareness raising
14. Lessons Learned
Small developing countries, working together, can make a
difference
Limits are good for business - regional conservation measures
and resource protection programmes have improved the private
investment climate in oceanic fisheries
Long term investments in science and data pay off
Monitoring and control programmes create attractive jobs
The PCU and outreach functions have been under-resourced
There is a critical need for long-term capacity building which is
beyond the scope of the Project and GEF funding
National capacities are the over-riding limit on what can be
achieved
15. Phase II Proposal
MTR recommended a second phase
Shift to making existing measures work at national
level, rather than adopting more measures
Focus on smaller SIDS
Address the impact of climate change
Invest more in knowledge management
Streamline national consultative processes
