Climate-Adaptive, Inclusive, Nature-based Aquaculture (CAINA): A scoping report on existing aquaculture activities in Solomon Islands

As part of the project’s inception in Solomon Islands, the purpose of this scoping report is to provide background information on the aquaculture sector in the country and adapt the project’s objectives and activities to this context. The objective of the report is to provide a general description of existing aquaculture activities, such as species, the farming systems and distribution of aquaculture activities, along with their history, evolution and trajectory, where known. A key focus is to understand what people are currently doing and what has been attempted in the past—not focusing solely on aspirational statements in policy documents, about the potential of aquaculture. This scoping review will provide a basis to inform the NbA research project.
