Introduction:

The Secretariat of the Pacific Community is implementing a project to develop sustainable systems for monitoring the impact of climate change on coastal fisheries in Pacific Island countries. The project aims to develop: (i) a practical monitoring programme that can separate the effects of climate change from other variables in coastal fisheries; (ii) develop tools to monitor the success of adaptation by coastal communities to climate change; and (iii) carry out field testing of these techniques in select Pacific Island Countries and Territories. Proposals are sought from suitably qualified consultants to assist with the design of these systems.
Detailed terms of reference:
Specifically the consultant will:

•    Review literature and consult with experts in the field to identify the information needed to monitor climate change impacts on coastal fisheries;

•    Recommend priorities for data collection and analysis to be initiated by the project;

•    Identify locations and partners for field testing, with a view to developing sustainable arrangements after the end of the project.
The consultant will assist SPC to identify participants for a technical consultation of experts and submit details of contacts by mid-March.
