A new report by the World Wildlife Fund and partners, Reviving Melanesia's Ocean Economy: The Case for Action, tracks how crucial the ocean is to Melanesia's economy and future prosperity.
According to RNZ, the WWF's Jackie Thomas said the report will be given to all Melanesia's governments, who she hoped will make good on various commitments they had already made to green growth.
She said the NGO will be encouraging the governments to invest at the national level and put resources into implementing the report's recommendations.
