Abstract
Solomon Islands has embraced the regional Blue Pacific
and Pacific Oceanscape concepts for sustainable oceans
management and translated the core principles into national
action. The Solomon Islands National Ocean Policy (SINOP;
SIG 2018) was launched in November 2018 to safeguard its
rich fishing grounds that provide food security, livelihoods and
government revenue. It is a useful example of the political and
multi-jurisdictional commitment required to apply regional ocean frameworks nationally. This In Brief draws on the insights of senior officials engaged in policy development to provide critical reflections on the challenges ahead for implementation.
