Research from #Fiji is showing high integrity and intact coral reefs had high resilience to category 5 cyclone, bouncing back in 4 years. These are reefs protected by communities in partnership with local tourism operators. #oceanoptimism

Gender-based violence in Pacific fisheries is a human rights as well as a livelihoods issue.

This review by our colleagues @sangeetamangubhai.bsky.social and Gina Houng Lee affirms calls for vital research and action:
SPC funded and published report on gender-based violence in fisheries and research priorities in the Pacific is now available. Grateful for the opportunity for
@talanoaconsulting.bsky.social to lead this critical piece of work, and those who we interviewed. www.spc.int/DigitalLibra...

Coral reefs with high ecological integrity are able to quickly recover from extreme climate impacts. In our new study in Coral Reefs, we found high integrity Fiji reefs were able to rebound rapidly following a category 5 cyclone.
