- The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) Programme is now entering its final phase, with a little over a year left before completion. Over the past four years, we have invested over US$10 million (about R65 million) in support of 75 projects. The projects are paving the way for the three countries of the Benguela to manage the region’s valuable marine and coastal resources at the ecosystem level, and to better balance human needs with conservation issues.

- Three years after the implementation phase of the BCLME Programme began, it is time for reflection. In May, the BCLME community met in Cape Town for a two-day “Highlights Symposium”. The purpose of the meeting was to turn the spotlight onto some of the key achievements and results of the Programme to date, and to lay the foundation for future actions.
