Skills, technology and experiences developed during the implementation of this pilot activity will be communicated to the remaining CPACC countries during training workshops to be held in 2001. Although we will have worked out many of the implementation problems by the time we hold these workshops, there will still be a need for technical support and guidance beyond the end of the CPACC Project in December 2001.
	IMPAC and the network of institutions such as the Centre for Marine Sciences, will provide the support necessary to ensure that the work started under the CPACC Project is expanded and sustained.
	The manor in which we mange our coastal reserves over the next twenty years will in many ways determine the severity of the climate change impacts that we face later in the century.  Sound coastal resource management is  no longer a simply a desirable best practice. It is probably the difference between sustainable economic development and economic stagnation.
	The data that is being collected under Component 5 must be used in two ways:
	1.It must be used to inform policy decisions that affect current coastal resource use and allocation issues, because adaptation planning for coral reefs must begin now.
	2.It must be used to notify decision makers of the development and changes in trends of climate  change related impacts.
	The information generated by Cmponent 5 will feed into the processes being established under some of the other CPACC Component activities e.g.
	- (Component 4)  will facilitate the development of the appropriate policy and
	legislative frameworks for addressing the need climate change adaptation.
	-(Component 3) will  provide the tools by which information on the status of
	coastal resource  can be mapped and visualized for the purpose of
	Decision making and planning.
