This report presents results from a gap analysis of Pohnpei’s Protected Area Network and spatial prioritization analyses to identify priority areas to expand the existing network to fill representation gaps. These results are presented in support of efforts led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP) to improve the effectiveness of Pohnpei’s protected areas.

In November 2017, The Nature Conservancy, Chuuk Conservation Society, and scientists from James Cook University convened a spatial planning workshop in Weno with the aim of integrating protected area network planning and state-wide fisheries management efforts. The aim is to work with local stakeholders to develop a network of marine managed areas that is informed by best available science, and will achieve both biodiversity conservation objectives and those articulated by resource owners and community members. The analyses presented in this report are in support of that objective.

This report presents methods and results of the following spa.al analyses to support the future development of Yaps’ protected area network:
1. Gap analysis of Yap’s existing protected area network
1.1. with respect to representation targets specified by the Micronesia challenge
1.2. in terms of adequacy for protecting key fish species
2. Spatial conservation prioritization to identify indicative priority areas for conservation, accounting for community interest in undertaking management

This report presents methods and results of the following spatial analyses to inform recommendations for improving the design of Kosrae’s PAN:
1. A gap analysis of Kosrae’s existing protected area network, with respect to representation targets specified by the Micronesia Challenge and in terms adequacy for protecting key fish species;
2. Spatial conservation prioritization to identify indicative priority areas for conservation.
