A project delivered under the Global Climate Change Alliance Plus Scaling up Pacific Adaptation project (GCCA+ SUPA), where we are preparing an integrated watershed management plan for the Soasoa catchment in Fiji. This project is increasing the resilience of this vulnerable community through better planning and the integration of infrastructure and ecosystem-based adaptation. This moves away from traditional ‘hard’ engineering options, and towards a more balanced approach combining hard and soft (grey or green) methods. The project included catchment delineation, hydrologic assessment and historic flood modelling to identify areas for flood management approaches.
