[Coral-List] Best practice case studies wanted on Pacific Island Ecosystem Management

[Stacy Jupiter]

Dear colleagues,

Do you work on ecosystem management in Pacific islands or work with 
Pacific Island managers?

We invite you to share your knowledge of best practice for island 
ecosystem management by completing this short survey at 
http://www.islandecosystemmanagement.com 
<http://www.islandecosystemmanagement.com/>.

Tell us about your project(s) and how they have benefitted the natural 
environment and your community. Not only will you be contributing 
valuable information to better ecosystem management in the region, we 
will also be awarding the Grand Prize to the best project based on 
impact and success. The Grand Prize will include travel, registration 
and accommodation to the 9^th Pacific Conference on Nature Conservation 
and Protected Area (http://www.sprep.org/pacificnatureconference), to be 
held in Suva, Fiji, from December 2-6, 2013.

As well as the Grand Prize, all entrants will go into the draw to win 
one of 20 t-shirts which will show everyone that you are playing an 
important role in ecosystem management in the Pacific.

This project was commissioned by the United Nations Environment 
Programme (UNEP) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment 
Programme (SPREP) and is implemented in partnership with the Wildlife 
Conservation Society, Alluvium Consulting, Sustainable Island 
Innovations, Edith Cowan University, and Hodge Environmental. The 
project aims to develop effective guidance and communication materials 
on island ecosystem management, based on marine and terrestrial case 
studies of ecosystem based adaptation (EBA) and ecosystem based 
management (EBM) within Pacific islands. Information gathered will be 
developed into best practice management case studies and guidelines.

Sincerely,

The Island Ecosystem Management Team
