Chonburi Launches 3-year Program to Strengthen ICM Implementation

The Provincial Government of Chonburi (Thailand) and PEMSEA signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the Scaling up of ICM Implementation in Chonburi Province on 6 October 2008 at the Chonburi Provincial Administration Office. The MOA was signed by Mr. Pracha Taerat, Governor of Chonburi Province, and Prof. Raphael P.M. Lotilla, Executive Director of the PEMSEA Resource Facility.

The three-year project aims to support the scaling up of ICM implementation in Chonburi with regard to increasing the spatial coverage, strengthening the governance mechanisms to support long-term implementation, strategic implementation of the Chonburi Coastal Strategy, and systematic development of local capacity to sustain ICM implementation.

Mr. Wittaya Khunpluem, Chief Executive of the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organization and ICM Project Director, and Mr. Chatchai Thimkrajang, Mayor of Sriracha Municipality, which serves as the home of the ICM Secretariat, led 150 participants representing local government members of the Chonburi ICM Network, concerned central and local government agencies, private, commercial and industrial sectors, the academe, nongovernmental organizations, and local communities in witnessing the MOA signing.
