FileYellow Sea LME - TDA. 2007. (9.3MB)
The Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis for Yellow Sea LME by the UNDP/GEF YSLME project is a principal output/deliverable for the project. The TDA was prepared from August to December 2006, and is based on studies and evaluations conducted within the project to September 2006.
FileYellow Sea LME - Preliminary TDA. 2000. (1.2 MB)
This Preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (PTDA) was prepared as part of the Project Preparation exercise under the PDF-B for the Yellow Sea LME Project (YSLME). The full TDA will be prepared under the auspices of the GEF project for the YSLME, once the full GEF project is implemented. The purposes of preparing a Preliminary TDA as part of the Project Preparation activities are multi-fold: • To provide background materials for the Project Brief and Project Document, illustrating the environmental context for the GEF project. • To provide a forum for consensus-building on the environmental issues of highest priority in the Yellow Sea • To decide on the data requirements for completing the TDA early in the GEF process, to guide the Project Implementation. This PTDA summarizes the results from National Reports prepared by experts from ROK and PRC, as well as results from a First Regional Workshop held 26-28 October 1999 in Seoul, ROK and Second National Workshop held 18-19 January in Beijing, PRC.

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.

FileAnalysis of Environmental Status and Trends for YSLME
This publication contains the reports of “Governance Analyses” conducted under the UNDP/GEF Project entitled, “Reducing Environmental Stress in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem.” The publication consists of the following three reports: National Governance Analysis for China, National Governance Analysis for Republic of Korea, and Regional Governance Analysis. The national reports describe governance issues in the Yellow Sea in terms of stakeholders, national institutions, and national policies and legislations
FileYSLME-SAP
The following document, the Strategic Action Programme of the YSLME, provides a roadmap for improving the ecosystem carrying capacity by the year 2020, through a combination of improvements in environmental legislation and enforcement, improved regional co-ordination and national co-operation between government agencies, elimination of environmentally damaging subsidies, enhanced public awareness and capacity building, and the use of regional monitoring networks. Once in place, these actions will help limit the loss of habitat, reduce environmental degradation and improve over-exploited fish stocks. Using the principles of ecosystem-based management and sustainable use we can ensure these ecosystem services for future generations.
