CONSULTING OPPORTUNITY
Project Title

Pacific Ocean Pollution Prevention Programme (PACPOL) Project RA1: Marine
Pollution Risk Assessment for the Pacific Islands Region.
Position

A consultant to undertake a Marine Pollution Risk Assessment for the Pacific
Islands Region.
Implementing/Contracting Agency

The South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), based in Apia,
Samoa. The consultant will be responsible to the SPREP Marine Pollution
Adviser, Steve Raaymakers.
Canadian Coordinating and Facilitating Agency
This project is part of the Canada-South Pacific Ocean Development Program,
Phase 2 (C-SPODP II), a 7-year, $14 million program funded by the Canadian
International Development Agency. The Canadian Coordinating and
Facilitating Agency for C-SPODP II is LGL Limited, environmental research
associates. LGL is responsible for the recruitment of Canadian consultants
for C-SPODP II projects, which are being implemented by the South Pacific
Forum Secretariat, South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency, South Pacific
Regional Environment Programme, and University of the South Pacific. LGL
will screen proposals that are received before the deadline and submit at
least three of the best to the implementing agency, where the consultant
will be selected.
Project Background

As island states located within the world's largest ocean, the member
countries of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) are
overwhelmingly dependent on shipping. Despite the benefits and necessity of
shipping, this human use of the ocean can also cause a range of
sometimes-severe environmental impacts, including spills of oil and other
hazardous materials.

The Pacific is particularly susceptible to shipping impacts and has a
current lack of regional and national capacity to address these issues. In
direct recognition of this situation, SPREP has developed and is
implementing PACPOL, the Pacific Ocean Pollution Prevention Programme.

One of the highest priority projects under PACPOL is to conduct a marine
pollution risk assessment as a fundamental starting point for the rest of
the programme. To effectively address ship-sourced marine pollution and
conduct a marine pollution risk assessment, it is necessary to first have a
picture of both the locations and descriptions of ports and shipping
patterns, including shipping lanes, shipping types, cargoes carried, and
shipping frequencies and intensities.
There is currently no information available in a consolidated form on the
above activities. The lack of a proper risk assessment leads to
subjective, non-quantitative, and un-substantiated statements being made by
various parties about the level of risk in the region, and it is not
possible to identify high risk and/or problem areas and develop focussed,
prioritised actions to address these areas.

The project's beneficiaries will be

· SPREP member countries;
· Pacific Island resource owners, government, NGOs, and communities; and
· Members of the private sector in marine and coastal-related industries in
the Pacific islands region, including shipping, ports, fisheries,
aquaculture, and tourism.
Services Required

The services required are for a consultant to undertake the marine pollution
risk assessment in accordance with the Aims, Scope, Outputs, Methods,
Timeframe, and Budget listed below.

Aims

The risk assessment aims to

· identify, describe, quantify, and map shipping patterns in the Pacific
islands region, and

· identify, describe, and map marine pollution hazards in Pacific island ports,

in order to collate and present data to help identify high-risk areas for
shipping accidents and marine pollution incidents.

Scope

The assessment will be conducted at three scales:

· the Pacific islands region as a whole;

· within the 200 nautical mile limit of each Pacific island
country/territory (see Appendix 1); and

· for each capital/major port within each country/territory.

The assessment will apply to all ships as defined by the International
Convention on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973 and its Protocol
of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78) and its Annexes, and will include fishing vessels
from distant water fishing nations.
Outputs

The project outputs will comprise:

1. A GIS map of the Pacific islands region displaying

· shipping lanes;

· cargo types and tonnages carried (cargo types to be broken down as far as
practicable);

· shipping frequencies and intensities;

· locations and descriptions of all ports, especially oil loading/unloading
operations;

· identification of mid-ocean ballast exchange/re-ballasting sites; and

· identification of high-risk areas for shipping accidents/marine pollution
incidents.

2. A GIS map of each Pacific island country/territory displaying the above
information within the 200 nautical mile limit of each country/territory.

3. A GIS map of each capital/major port in each country/territory
identifying and describing high-risk areas for shipping accidents/marine
pollution incidents within each port.

Tasks/Methods

It is proposed that the study will be done by a multidisciplinary team on
contract to SPREP, comprising

· a consultant as the primary investigator and

· the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) for the GIS
components of the study.

Tasks required/methods to be used will include (but not necessarily be
restricted to)

· project management and coordination by SPREP, through the Marine Pollution
Adviser.

· an initial project inception meeting and two progress/coordination
meetings in Suva, Fiji, between SPREP, the consultant, and SOPAC.

· reviewing previous shipping and related studies conducted in the region,
including the SPREP report "Ship Groundings in the Pacific Islands Region -
Issues and Guidelines" and work conducted previously for the Forum
Secretariat (task for consultant).

· obtaining and analysing shipping data from publications such as Ocean
Passages of the World, World Cruising Routes, World Sea Trade Statistics,
and Containerisation International Yearbook (task for consultant).

· obtaining and analysing shipping data from Pacific island national
maritime and port authorities; the U.S. Coast Guard; the Maritime Safety
Authority of New Zealand; the Australian Maritime Safety Authority; shipping
companies; shipping agents; oil companies (primarily BP, Mobil and Shell);
the Regional Maritime Programme and Marine Resources Programme of the
Pacific Community and the Forum Fisheries Agency (in relation to fishing
vessel movements); Lloyds Maritime Information Services; Lloyds Ports of the
World; and commercial voyage planning services such as Weathernews Pty. Ltd.
(task for consultant).

· fact-finding and data collection missions to selected Pacific Island
Countries (N.B. the budget will not allow visits to all countries - a
representative sample of countries from each of the sub-regions of
Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia will be visited) (task for consultant).

· development of the GIS and data entry (task for SOPAC). The use of GIS
will allow the risk assessment to be easily updated, perhaps every two to
five years.

· report production (joint consultant /SOPAC task).

Timeframe

The project will be completed within 6 months of commencement.



Study Location

This is a regional project covering all Pacific Island Countries and
Territories (see Appendix 1). During the project, the consultant should be
based in Suva, Fiji, to facilitate country visits and coordination with SOPAC.
Budget and Resources Available

A total budget of US$115,000 is available for this project. Of this,
$40,000 is allocated to the SOPAC GIS component and $75,000 to the
consultancy component of the study. Arrangements are being made to provide
office space in Suva (desk, chair, and telephone) at no cost, but we do not
have a commitment yet. Please refer back to the C-SPOD web site for updates.

Qualifications
Required:

· Citizen of one of the Pacific Island member countries of the South Pacific
Forum, or Canada;

· Proven expertise and experience in marine pollution risk assessment;

· Proven experience in undertaking similar studies in the Pacific Islands
region and established regional and maritime industry networks; and

· Proven ability and track record of meeting deadlines and complying with
project budgets.

Proposal Requirements:

· Detailed description of how the outputs listed above will be achieved, in
accordance with the tasks and methods listed above and any other method the
consultant proposes to use to achieve the outputs cost-effectively within
the required timeframe and available budget (NB: Tasks and methods which are
the responsibility of SOPAC should not be included in the Proposal);

· Project management table, including task timelines, critical milestones,
and progress and final reporting timelines;

· Detailed breakdown of costs outlining how the outputs will be achieved
within the available US $75,000, in accordance with the tasks and methods
listed above and any other methods the consultant proposes;

· Evidence of the consultant's qualifications in relation to those listed
above; and

· A full Curriculum Vitae with three references including contact information.

Review of forest research in Solomon Islands

Background

In the past the research section of the Forestry Division undertook a
significant amount of research, including establishing some 1260 research
plots. At present a strategy for the future of forest research in the
Solomon Islands is being finalised; as part of the revitalisation of the
research section it is necessary to review all of the research plots.

Purpose
The project entails reviewing the research plots, which were mainly set up
for silviculture and plantation establishment. The main purpose of the
projectis to decide the future of the research plots.

The research section has become quite degraded in the past 10 years,
including a lack of resources being invested in human resource development.
It is therefor also necessary to work closely with staff of the research
section to improve their skills and knowledge.

Duration
The project is expected to take four months, which allows for the difficult
working conditions and lack of resources available, beginning in January or
February of next year. It will be based in the town of Munda in the
Western Province of the Solomon Islands.

Arrangements
Funding has been seccured from Pacific Islands Forests and Trees Support
Program for internal airfares, accomodation and living allowance and other
costs involved in the project. An application will be submitted to
AusAID's volunteer program AESOP once a suitable person has been
identified. If this is approved, AESOP will provide the airfare and cover
insurance costs.

The positives of the Western Province!
The people of the Solomon Islands are very friendly, welcoming and relaxed.
The diving and snorkelling from Munda is exceptional, both on natural
reefs and WWII wrecks. Munda is a ten minute flight (AUD$35) to Marovo
Lagoon which has been nominated for World Heritage Listing. Marovo has
hundreds of islands and is scenically very beautiful, as is most of the
Western Province. Munda is also close to the volcanic island of
Kolombangara (approx 1700metres) which has amazing mist forest in the
higher areas.

Anybody interested in this project or who requires further information
should email Nikki Parker by 26th November on
forestry1@...
