Abstract
This report provides an overview of the presentations made to guide thinking on the range of possible threats and management actions within the coastal zone of the Vatu-i-Ra Seascape. We focused specifically on three thematic areas of the ICM framework: Living Coastal Resource Utilization; Land-Based Activities; and Coastal/Eco-tourism Development. For each thematic area, case studies of successful management were presented from around the region and participants used this information to formulate draft concepts or preliminary zoning plans for their provinces. These draft plans can now form the basis of internal stakeholder consultations within each province to develop more comprehensive ICM plans that to best accommodate sustainable development of the coastal zone that maximizes benefits for users while minimizing access restrictions and environmental damage.
