Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis of Land-based Sources and Activities in the Western Indian Ocean Region (2009)
This document presents the results of a series of investigations and expert analyses relating to
land-based sources of pollution and other activities that cause the degradation of the coastal
and marine environment in the West Indian Ocean (WIO). More specifically, it identifies those
elements that may induce impacts beyond national boundaries or that are problems common
to several countries of the region. Collectively, this represents a Transboundary Analysis (TDA);
a decision support tool intended to inform countries in the WIO region with regard to priority
issues and problems to be addressed within the context of immediate and long-term sustainable
management of the WIO coastal and marine ecosystems. In this regard, the TDA forms the basis
for the development of a comprehensive Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for addressing landbased
sources and activities.
