Tech Report

"PIMPAC Regional Mentors Mr. Wayne Andrew and Angel Jonathan conducted a management planning and climate change training for Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources staff in American Samoa from May 21-25, 2018. This successful training resulted in 13 staff members of DMWR trained in facilitating the development of community resource management plans and update of a resource management plan for the villages of Matu'u and Faganeanea. The Regional Mentors also trained the DWMR staff in the use of PIMPAC climate change video toolkit. As a result the newly updated plan has now a climate change lens. Overall the Chief Biologist of the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources was very happy and appreciative of the training and welcome PIMPAC's future support in building the capacity of his staff at the Department."
