About

The Pacific Islands Ocean Acidification Centre (PIOAC) was created to support ocean acidification capacity development throughout the Pacific. Established in 2021, PIOAC is a SPC-led partnership to support Pacific Island researchers, government officials, and community members through ocean acidification training and technical assistance. It is working with Pacific partners to find Pacific solutions to address the impacts of ocean acidification.

Framework Action Tracks

08 – Marine ecological integrity, 19 – Science and traditional knowledge for target-setting and monitoring

Status

Ongoing

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.
