FilePEMSEA Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia. 2003. (2.6 MB)
The Sustainable Development Strategy is a package of applicable principles, relevant existing regional and international action programmes, agreements, and instruments, as well as implementation approaches, for achieving sustainable development of the Seas of East Asia. It offers a regional framework for the interested countries and other stakeholders to implement, in an integrated or holistic manner, the commitments they have already made, without assuming new legal obligations. It addresses linkages among social, cultural, economic and environmental issues. It embodies the shared vision of the countries and other stakeholders for the Seas of East Asia, and the ways by which they will achieve that shared vision. The Strategy does not reflect any individual country, international organization, or sectoral interest but presents a regional perspective, principles, and guidelines, and a platform for each to play and strengthen its respective role and to cooperate with one another in addressing common issues and concerns. The Sustainable Development Strategy is based on a programmatic approach and the consensus reached among the countries and other stakeholders particularly with regard to needs, nature and purpose, basic role and functions, scope of application and essential elements.

FileCase Study Vol.1 No.5 June 2010: Beyond Survival: Engaging communities on coastal and marine management in Stung Hav. Preah Sihanouk, Cambodia
It was a quest to protect the rights of small-scale fishers, a means of survival. Then a property rights and land issue. A project first intended to protect resources and keep land grabbers at bay but has rippled into several activities, which have socioeconomic and environmental consequences. It is the story of a community’s continuing attempt to improve people’s lives. It is a story of what could be their lasting legacy. Stung Hav is one of the rural districts in Kampong Som — now Preah Sihanouk — on the northwestern coast of Cambodia. What used to be a quiet fishing district is now fast becoming a busy economic zone, a welcome development for many local businessmen and communities but a source of wariness and confl ict among ordinary fishers.
