The Solomon Islands have previously seen the successful relocation of two villages on Rongha Islands through adopting a pro-community and pro-active approach post-earthquake in 2007, where 80% of villages voluntarily relocated. Nevertheless, there is a call for a more formidable governance framework around relocation to protect human and land rights in the Solomon Islands. Furthermore, success may be limited by heterogeneity among Islanders.\u00a0Any recovery in the Solomon Islands needs extensive contextualisation and localisation, along with sensitivity and understanding of the social capital of the affected area. This includes an understanding of the <em>wantok<\/em> system of ethnic, geographical, tribal, and linguistic groupings in Melanesia that allows for the promotion of social cohesion and equality. Any theoretical best practice of recovery must include the role of cultural heritage in the reconstruction of individual and communal identity, which is extremely important for the Rennellese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concluding the Clean Up and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Fuelling the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every successfully recovery begins with an effective response.\u00a0 During this oil spill the Australian government was called in to provide response and recovery. There is a dire need for increased professionalisation in the disaster management and resilience sectors within the Solomon Islands, so this and future disasters can be managed by local actors.Indigenous knowledge helped many Solomon Islanders during past disasters, but this oil spill, a modern technological disaster, calls for innovation in mitigation to combat modern hazards. As the Solomon Islands, and the Pacific are \u2018acutely vulnerable\u2019 to climate change related disasters,more has to be done to mitigate industrial and technological disasters to prevent further strain on the already stretched system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2021\/11\/Pic-4-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2419 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2021\/11\/Pic-4-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2021\/11\/Pic-4-1.png 292w, https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2021\/11\/Pic-4-1-150x49.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/hcri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/325\/2021\/11\/Pic-4-1-250x81.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abramson, D.M., Grattan, L.M., Mayer, B., Colten, C.E., Arosemena, F.A., Bedimo-Rung, A. and Lichtveld, M., 2015.
