This project will complement the work of the Kolombangara Island Biodiversity Conservation Association (KIBCA) who’s work focuses on terrestrial monitoring activities with significant linkage to the marine monitoring activities to be introduced through this project at the community level. Training will be provided to the rangers of KIBCA to be able to monitor marine, coastal, and terrestrial activities. A community-based monitoring program will be developed in partnership with KIBCA, SICCP and the communities.
