The
purpose of the Pacific Islands Regional Ocean Forum was to gather input from a wide variety of stakeholders
regarding the actions that are needed to implement the Pacific Islands Regional Ocean Policy. The
Forum was attended by over 200 people from some 20 countries. Eight
breakout groups met during the week of the forum to discuss the various
issues addressed by the Ocean Policy. The outcomes of these breakout
group discussions are available below in PDF
format. These outcomes,
plus the discussions held in plenary, provided the basis for the implementation framework (the
Pacific Islands Regional Ocean Framework for Integrated Strategic
Action, or PIROF-ISA).
