The Vanuatu coral Reef, a vital ecosystem for 80 % population living in subistence lifestyles is threatend by increasing human activities, impacts of Climate change and tectonic movements, that result mortality of coral reef over large areas. The project will build local islands community capacity to monitor their coral reef ecosystems for their management decisions and implementation. The project will introduce simple monitoring techniques to 17 local communities on 10 islands through trainings so to monitor the reef ecosystem with their local areas and analyse the results for their local subsistence fisheries and Locally managed Protected areas management decisions.
