As many readers will know, the south pacific sea level and climate ,monitaring project was initially develped in the early 1990's as a respond to concerns about the potiential impacts of global warming and sea levels in the pacific. The AUSAID funded project was established with a goal of providing accurate, long term record of sea levels in the south pacific both for partner countries and international scientific community which need such information to better understand how the pacific oceanographic and meteorogical environment is changing. That, in turn will assist governments and ultimately communities to respond to and adapt to both short and long term change, and better manage any likely impacts. 14 pacific isIand countries are involved in the monitaring of sea level rise and related phenomena.
