Cook Island’s National Invasive Species Strategy and Action Plan 2015-2020 DRAFT 2016
The Strandings of Oceania database is a collaborative project between SPREP, WildMe and the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium to record stranding and beachcast data for whales, dolphins and dugongs throughout the Pacific. We use a platform called Flukebook. An account is needed to view or use data within Flukebook but the data is available for download here. You can submit data direct into Flukebook (preferably while logged in) or send a completed data form to SPREP for upload. Guidance on using the database is available :
State of Environment (SoE) reports provide in-country partners with a process to gather data on current environmental indicators, document their status, and formulate a plan for keeping these indicators on track or developing policies and programs as needed. This SoE Toolkit dataset contains resources that serve as guides to help create up-to-date State of Environment reports.

This is a template that can be used when creating a State of Environment report, and sections can be added or adapted to fit a country’s needs.
SPREPs recommended template for individual indicators in national SoE reports. The full SoE template will be updated in the coming months.
