Guideline for Economic Analyses of Environmental Management Actions for the Yellow Sea
Marine and coastal ecosystems suffer from serious environmental degradation which
is attributable to various anthropogenic causes. The Yellow Sea ecosystem, a water
area adjacent to China and the Korean Peninsula, has experienced for a long time a
range of problems such as water quality degradation, declined fish stock, and
biodiversity loss (Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem Project [YSLME], 2000). The
loss of opportunities for recreation and tourism is also a major concern. Anthropogenic activities such as fishing, mariculture, and
tourism might cause these problems. To mitigate
these environmental problems, the UNDP/GEF Project entitled “Reducing
Environmental Stress in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem,” known as the
YSLME Project, was launched in 2004.
