About

This initiative aims to: (A) increase stakeholder awareness and knowledge of giant clam farming and market systems to inform livelihoods, food security, conservation management and policy decision making; (B) increase community access to high-quality and diverse giant clam seedlings to support the establishment of climate-sensitive community-based clam farms; and (C) strengthen climate-smart technical skills, networking and business skills of community members, especially women gleaners, to achieve sustainable aquaculture livelihoods, and an improved local network of giant clam farmers.

The Pacific Islands Roundtable for Nature Conservation (PIRT) is supported by the Pacific BioScapes Programme.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is a European Union (EU) funded action, managed and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).
The Programme contributes to the sustainable development of Pacific Small Island Developing States through the implementation of 30 focused activities taking place across a diversity of ecosystems in 11 countries (Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) that will address critical issues concerning coastal and marine biodiversity, and ecosystem-based responses to climate change adaptation.
