Characteristics
• Locally driven but some degree of shared governance with government (e.g. no gazettal of almost all Melanesian managed areas but government support)
• May include whole traditional area (vanua, enua, • May include whole traditional area (vanua, enua, puava etc.)
• Usually include relatively small closed areas “taboos” which may be opened
• Driven largely by local livelihood or sustainable use considerations – very “hands-on”
• Some degree of combination of modern and traditional governance

A workable site based approach for
Pacific Island PAs?
• Promising approach to site based coastal -marine PAs –only cost effective approach under customary tenure conditions?
• Community tools (taboos) may need refinement or review – opening regimes?
• Terrestrial PAs still a challenge with less clear examples • Terrestrial PAs still a challenge with less clear examples of the way forward - IMPORTANT
• But is it possible to build nation-wide approaches from these experiences?
• And if so, why just PAs and not other community and national needs? Climate change / Disaster risk reduction etc.

Some capacity challenges at the
national level
• Role of government - coordinate and support nation-wide through institutional and legal means
• Compatibility with international paradigms and processes e.g. IUCN PA definition and principles processes e.g. IUCN PA definition and principles (2008), WDPA or other lists?
• Multi-sectoral collaboration to achieve effective and integrated management/sustainable development. Combining fisheries, biodiversity and livelihoods interests – fisheries MPAs? CCA?
