Pacific Islands Regional Dugong Seagrass Workshop – Document Download

June 11, 2018

Delegates from four of the six SPREP Members who are dugong range states (New Caledonia, Palau, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu) convened in Munda, Western Province, Solomon Islands, on 5-8 March 2018, to discuss the status of dugong and seagrass conservation in the region and plan the next steps that need to be undertaken to effectively address the region’s conservation needs.

The objectives of the workshop were to exchange experiences with dugong conservation across the dugong range states in the Pacific and to provide feedback on SPREP’s Regional Dugong Action Plan 2018-2022.
