Food shortages and eroding coastlines are an increasingly urgent problem across the Pacific, thanks to climate change.
Caritas has just released Turning the Tide, its 2017 report on the state of the environment in Oceania.
Problems accessing safe food and drinking water were highlighted, with the increasing frequency of natural disasters making the problem more urgent.
"Our experience in 2016/17 is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the health and integrity of these sources [of local food supplies] - especially after a disaster," the report said.
