  2. The East Asian Seas A global environmental hotspot Interconnectivity

  3. From Demonstration to Replication 2 + 6 + 18 Marine Pollution Prevention and Management in the East Asian Seas (MPP-EAS) 1994-1999 11 countries US$ 8 million 5% of coastlines of the region Building Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) 1999-2006 12 countries US$ 16.2 million Implementation of Sustainable Strategy for the Seas of East Asia 2007 – 2009 15 countries

  4. Integrated Coastal Management

  6. Signs of Environmental and Social Improvements (Stress Reduction Indicators) • Pollution load reduced • Water quality deterioration arrested • Marine and coastal habitats/ Biodiversity restored • Destructive fishing practices reduced • Multiple-use conflicts reduced • Coastal waterfront improved and investment increased • Community concerns addressed Egret

  7. Catalyzed Development of National Policies • China’s Ocean Agenda 21 • National Law on Sea Use Management Chinese white dolphin

  9. Integrated Watershed Management Studies showed that non-point source pollutants (over 50% nutrients) were being received by the Xiamen Sea through Jiulong River and its drainage basins network upstream; continuing to threaten the marine environmental quality even if Xiamen fully controlled its local pollutant sources.

  10. Socioeconomic Benefits of Xiamen ICM (1995-2001)

  11. Dynamics of ICM Improved coastal governance Critical mass Sustainability Driving forces • Creating shared vision, objectives, strategies ad targets • Addressing issues of local concerns • Using effectively the ICM framework and process • Establishing coordinating mechanisms for interagency and stakeholders collaboration and partnership • Enabling policy and functional integration • Enabling local stakeholders to plan and manage their natural resources • Using scientific support for decision making • Promoting environmental investment • Improving communication among stakeholders • Monitoring environmental changes Focus Perception change Replication Scaling up Buy in Mainstreaming Networking Improvement of standard of living Vision Platform Awareness Protection of ecological integrity Mechanisms Adaptive Learning Process coordination Integration Partnership Efficient and equitable economic growth Mode Coverage Flexibility Resilience Other Governance Mechanisms
