This NEMS 2015-2020 follows a two year consultation process with government, private sector, non-government organisations (NGOs), and Kaupule planners. It was led by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The consultation process proved to be a challenge due to the geographical layout of our islands, broad coverage of the environment sector, and the wide range of stakeholders who were consulted.
This TNBSAP is truly a product of sustainable development planning where stakeholders were fully consulted right from the inception planning process through to the adoption of agreed biodiversity priority issues, constraints and possible solutions. This TNBSAP is therefore fully owned by the people of Tuvalu.
This first SOE was prepared as a major component of the NEMs project. It summarises the state of marine resources, cultural and archaeological resources, socio-economic environment, and outline environmental challenges facing Tuvalu at the time.

Williamson and Sabath (1982) have demonstrated a significant relationship between modern population size and environment by examining atoll area and rainfall in the Marshall Islands. The present work seeks to extend that argument into prehistory by examining the relationship of ancient habitation sites and size of aroid pit agricultural systems to atoll land area and rainfall regime along the 1,500-3,500 mm precipitation gradient in the Marshall Islands.
The Convention for the Protection of the Natural Resources and Environment of the South Pacific Region (1986), along with its two additional Protocols, entered into force in 1990. The Convention is a comprehensive umbrella agreement for the protection, management and development of the marine and coastal environment of the South Pacific Region, and represents the legal framework of the Action Plan for managing the Natural Resources and Environment of the South Pacific adopted in 1982 on behalf of the South Pacific Conference on Human Environment.
