Yellow 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. (pp. 9-10)
