Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The coastal areas in the Pacific islands are facing many challenges. Population growth and the need for cash income have led to overexploitation of fish and shellfish resources. The lagoons, coral reefs, and shores are being threatened by pollution, sedimentation, and the construction of coastal infrastructure facilities. Moreover, the government agencies of most of the Pacific islands are not structured in a way that would enable them to carry out the integrated efforts that may be needed to deal effec-tively with the threats to coastal resources. In 1998-99, the World Bank sponsored a study of community perceptions of coastal resources management in five Pacific Island countries -Fiji, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Tonga to strengthen the understanding among tha region's coastal managers, of the factors that contribute to the successful management of coastal resources.
