Seeking international Management Status
The project seeks international management status for the area in question by having submitted the management plan under the Ramsar application process, currently awaiting outcomes. The management plan will enhance the chances of Nasoata being chosen as the second Ramsar site in Fiji as it outlines the planned management framework for the Island.
- Nasoata Island meeting the criteria that is set by Ramsar.
- Successful drafting of co-management plan as it is part of the Ramsar process.
- DoE implementing the Ramsar process on the ground.
A special recruitment of a consultant to complete the Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS) was necessary. The RIS is very comprehensive and needs the attention of a full time person to collate all the available information.
