OPENING OF THE MEETING
1.1 Welcome
addresses
1.1.1 On behalf of the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project, Ms. Connie Chiang, Environment
Officer, opened the meeting and welcomed the members of the Regional Working
Group-Biodiversity (RWG-B) to Rongcheng, China.
1.1.2 Ms. Chiang gave a summary of the stages of the project (TDA, SAP, pilot
implementation of SAP), and stated that this meeting would focus on finalising the
data for the TDA and preparing for the SAP phase. The first phase of the project
focused on data collection for TDA, and the consultant preparing the TDA will aim to
complete the TDA by the end of October/early November 2006, in time for the RSTP
and PSC to, respectively, review and approve the document. The meeting will also
consider how to begin developing the SAP, such as the activities and actions that
should be discussed and agreed at the meeting.
1.1.3. Ms. Chiang also informed participants that during the meeting, members will discuss
how to improve the national reports and prepare them for publication. The causal
chain analysis would be re-visited and finalised based on the collected data and
information focusing on a regional basis, and collective knowledge of the experts.
The meeting would also consider the issues relevant to the preparation of the SAP.
Finally, on behalf of the PMO, Ms. Chiang expressed her appreciation to all members
for participating in the meeting.
1.1.4 Mr. Lee Yoon, the Chairperson of the Regional Working Group for Biodiversity,
welcomed the group to Rongcheng, and summarized the objectives of the meeting.
1.2 Introduction of members
1.2.1 Ms. Chiang invited members and other participants to introduce themselves and give a
brief introduction on their background and roles in the Project. The list of participants
is attached to this report as Annex I.

of them are available in their electronic versions if required.
2.2 Organisation of Work
2.2.1 The Secretariat presented the provisional working programme for the meeting
(Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-E.3/inf.3). The Chairperson informed the meeting
about the organisation of work.
2.2.2 Ms. Chiang mentioned that the working plan listed was just a reference for the meeting
but can be adapted if the Chairperson may consider it necessary. She also
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/3
Page 2
mentioned that due to the nature of the agenda items to be discussed, the meeting
would be organised in plenary as far as possible. Sessional working groups were
formed when deemed necessary.
2.2.3 The meeting was conducted in English.

ADOPTION OF THE MEETING AGENDA
3.1 The Chairperson introduced the Provisional Agenda (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-
B.3/1) and Provisional Annotated Agenda (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/2)
prepared by the Secretariat.
3.2 Participants were then asked to consider the agenda prepared by the Secretariat, and to
propose any amendments or additions that they might wish.
3.3 The meeting adopted the agenda with no modification which is attached as Annex III to
this report.

EXPECTED OUTPUTS FROM THE THIRD RWG-B MEETING
4.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-
B.3/4, and explain the expected outputs from this Meeting.
4.2 Ms. Chiang presented the list of expected outputs to be achieved at the meeting,
provided some details for each agenda item's objectives, and alerted the participants to
focus on considering the actions needed for preparation of the SAP.
4.3 Ms. Chiang stated that the meeting should discuss how to publish the results from the
consultancies on national and data collection and regional synthesis. Ms. Chiang also
highlighted the importance of completing the causal chain analysis as a major expected
output of the meeting.
4.4 Mr. Tobai Sadayosi asked if any regional causal chain analysis is available. Ms. Chiang
mentioned that there is a preliminary one available from previous RWG-B meetings but
it should be reviewed with the new information provided in the recent versions of the
national reports in order to produce a regional causal chain analysis. This regional
causal chain analysis should be a major input for the TDA.
5 REVIEW OF COMPLETED AND ON-GOING BIODIVERSITY COMPONENT
ACTIVITIES
5.1 Data and Information Status, Trends and New Findings
5.1.1 National data and information collection
5.1.1.1 The Chairperson invited the representative of the First Institute of Oceanography
(China) to present his report on National Data and Information Collection Activity.
5.1.1.2 Mr. Chen Shang gave a presentation describing the status of data collection for
China and introduced in detail, the causal chain analysis for each problem identified
by the RWG-B, which was developed based on collected available national data and
information.
5.1.1.3 He stated that after gathering the necessary data and information on biodiversity
issues in China, the problems were identified and prioritized. The gaps in data and
information mentioned included: i) availability of only general information on endemic,
exotic and some vulnerable species; ii) no quantitative information on distribution and
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/3
Page 3
change in the wild population; and, iii) no field survey conducted previously. He
finally highlighted the need to conduct a field survey in coastal waters.
5.1.1.4 Mr. Chen stated that the main output was to prepare the causal chain analysis and
considered that the major issues were: i) habitat loss; ii) habitat conversion; iii)
loss of vulnerable species; iv) exotic species, v) loss of endemic species; and
vi) degradation of genetic diversity.
5.1.1.5 The Chairperson, on behalf of the National Fisheries Research and Development
Institute, NFRDI (Korea) presented the report on National Data and Information
Collection Activity.
5.1.1.6 Mr. Lee Yoon mentioned that the major issues found were related to: i) decline of
population of marine species; ii) habitat degradation; and, iii) biodiversity-related
management problems.
5.1.1.7 He stated that "habitat loss" has been mainly caused by economic development and
showed a causal chain analysis for the major issues identified e.g. habitat loss,
habitat conversion, and vulnerable species.
5.1.1.8 Ms. Chiang mentioned that during the causal chain analysis presentation (China)
most of the problems are repetitive, although separate for different species, so that
she inquired if there is any justification for doing separate causal chain analysis per
group of species. Mr. Chen mentioned that the separate causal chain analysis for
each group of species could provide more detail for the regional synthesis and TDA
development.
5.1.1.9 Mr. Lee Yoon noted that the annotated agenda considered a special item to develop
a regional causal chain analysis, and the group decided to move all the inquiries on
the causal chain analysis presented in the national reports to Agenda Item No. 6
(Preparation of the TDA).
5.1.1.10 Ms. Chiang noted that the presentation from the Korean delegation was quite
different from the last version of the report submitted to the Secretariat. She
requested Mr. Lee Yoon to submit the electronic version of the Korean report
presented during this meeting before the end of the 3rd RWG-B Meeting. Mr.
Lee Yoon agreed.
5.1.1.11 Mr. Xu Qiang requested if there is some more information available on any planning
aiming at the regulations for land reclamation process in Korea and China.
5.1.1.12 Mr. Lee Chang Hee specified that Korea has a national plan to develop
management measures for land reclamation. He also specified that every 10 years,
there is a revision/updating of the Korean Land Reclamation Plan.
5.1.1.13 Mr. Chen mentioned that in China, the land reclamation process is done at the local
government level, and mainly based on political decisions. The three coastal
provinces along the Chinese coast of the Yellow Sea have not developed any plans.
5.1.1.14 Ms. Chiang noted that both national reports contain lots of data, but there is a
further need for more interpretation, in order for a reader to understand the current
status and trend of Yellow Sea biodiversity. The interpretation would also show the
evidence to fully support the causal chain analysis.
5.1.1.15 Mr. Tobai inquired on the vulnerable group of species listed in the Korean report
and mentioned that WWF has developed some tools to address vulnerable species
issues. He also mentioned that the meeting may consider focusing on the analysis of
the major issues found in the YS region so that the development of a checklist of
species could help the analysis and to which the concept of vulnerable species could
serve as a tool to narrow the list.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/3

5.1.1.16 This resulted in a discussion on the definition within this group for the terms, "exotic
species," "vulnerable species," and "introduced species," within the context of the
activity.
5.1.1.17 The meeting agreed to delete the term "Exotic Species" and use the term
"Introduced Species" instead. This group of species is classified into two sub-
groups: i) intentionally introduced species e.g. species for scientific research,
aquaculture, planting and enjoying; and, ii) non-intentionally introduced
species e.g. those introduced by ballast water, fouling organisms and
parasites.
5.1.1.18 The meeting agreed that for "Endemic Species" the scope of analysis should
focus on 4 species for China and 3 species for Korea.
5.1.1.19 The meeting agreed that "IUCN Red List" for vulnerable species will be the
reference to be consulted. In the case of China, they will use IUCN Red List
and additionally consider a national list of vulnerable species, plus additional
vulnerable species identified by Chinese scientists.
5.1.1.20 Mr. Lee Chang Hee noted that national reports on governance analysis are a bit
weak so this should be considered.
5.1.1.21 Ms. Chiang noted that "governance analysis" is a task being handled by the
Investment Component since that RWG decided to manage this particular issue.
Some governance issues should be listed for each problem, as the TDA Consultant
would use this information for the TDA.
5.1.2 Regional data and information synthesis
5.1.2.1 The Chairperson invited the representative from Wetlands International, Mr. Xu
Qiang, to present the results of the regional synthesis of biodiversity data.
5.1.2.2 Mr. Xu described the habitats and the status of marine and coastal areas, and
mentioned the status of vulnerable species and habitats of global significance.
5.1.2.3 He also mentioned the Biodiversity Conservation Issues and Actions for China and
Korea and cited the `major gaps of the information" e.g. information on Democratic
People's Republic of Korea; information on long-term national development plans for
the YS e.g. last 15 years; and, information on "introduced species" in the Yellow Sea.
5.1.2.4 Ms. Chiang requested Mr. Xu to incorporate new information provided to the meeting
by the delegations of Korea and China to produce a more comprehensive report. Mr.
Xu agreed to produce a 2nd draft by mid November.
5.1.2.5 Ms. Chiang noted that the quality of the synthesis report could be improved by
incorporating comments raised during the meeting and the ones sent by the PMO
prior to the meeting. She noted that this applied to the national reports, as well, and
as these were the first outputs of the projects, high quality products would be credited
to the authors and a sign of the project's success. She also noted that the regional
synthesis report could now be based upon the national data and information
collection reports provided by Korea and China, as additional data were provided
during the meeting.
5.1.2.6 Mr. Chen suggested that the focus of the report should be oriented on common
identified problems and other major issues in the marine and coastal environment.
5.1.2.7 Mr. Tobai gave some suggestions on the organization of the regional synthesis
report, e.g. "habitat and status" should consider a sub-item "regional status"
to provide a regional view prior to the national description. The meeting agreed
that these inclusions could improve the final report. Mr. Tobai and Mr. Xu
agreed to discuss privately how to re-organize the report for the final version.

5.1.2.8 Following the discussion of the national and regional synthesis reports, Ms. Chiang
informed that the other components have decided to publish their national reports
and the regional synthesis, and requested the meeting to decide if they wish to
publish the reports. The meeting agreed to publish the reports under the
auspices of the Project, and only after final versions of the national reports are
submitted.
5.1.2.9 The meeting suggested that:
China wished the PMO to find an editor before publishing the final reports,
while Korea wished to find their own editor.
There were different opinions on whether one volume should be published
containing the national and regional reports or whether 3 separate reports
should be published.
5.1.2.10 The Chairperson agreed to submit the suggestions to the RSTP meeting for the
final decision.
5.2 Other
Activities
5.2.1 Workshop on Gene Pool Analysis
5.2.1.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to present the results up-to-date on the
activities: i) Workshop on gene pool analysis; and, ii) EAS Congress 2006 (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/7).
5.2.1.2 Ms. Chiang described the history related to the "workshop on gene pool analysis"
and suggested the meeting to discuss and agree to take final actions on this activity.
Members were invited to consider the results and progress of these activities and to
make recommendations for final implementation of on-going activities.
5.2.1.3 The meeting agreed that the workshop on gene pool analysis was no longer
necessary, as genetic information were already included in the national reports.
5.2.2 EAS
Congress
5.2.2.1 Ms. Chiang explained that the upcoming EAS Congress 2006 in Haikou, China,
(December, 2006) and the Project and Yellow Sea Partnership plan to organise one
session. The session will showcase how a partnership can extend its public
awareness activities to a wider range of stakeholders, and enhance co-operation and
co-ordination among the relevant activities in the Yellow Sea.
5.2.2.2 Ms. Chiang explained that the project will also participate with an exhibition booth at
the EAS Congress so that some outcomes from the RWG-B could be an important
input for the display.
5.2.2.3 The meeting discussed the topics to be displayed at the project's exhibition booth,
and suggested that a list of endemic, vulnerable and introduced species could be
considered. It was also discussed that some common biodiversity problems should
be also included as well as the causal chain analysis of the RWG-B.
5.2.2.4 After finalising the causal chain analysis during Agenda Item 6, the meeting
agreed that they would like to show the causal chain analysis for the problem
related to "habitat loss" at the EAS Congress.

PREPARATION OF THE TDA
6.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce this agenda item (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/TDA Draft 1).
6.2 Ms. Chiang explained the TDA requirements from the GEF point of view, the
environmental problems that the TDA consultant had identified from the draft national
reports and the regional syntheses, and the ways to improve the causal chain
analysis for the Biodiversity Component. Ms. Chiang presented two documents
prepared by the TDA Consultant, relevant to the region's environmental problems
and an example of a causal chain analysis (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/TDA Draft1).
She indicated that the causal chain analysis should be carried out by a group of
experts collectively. She further mentioned that the causal chain analysis should be
completed based on supporting data and information and/or a reasonable level of
expert's knowledge.
6.3 A careful analysis and extensive discussions were carried out by the meeting to revise
the causal chain analysis for transboundary biodiversity problems. The identified
regional problems were considered and revised, and the revised causal chain
analysis is attached as Annex IV.

ACTIVITIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED FROM 2007 ONWARDS
7.1 Biodiversity Regional Targets and Strategic Action Programme
Consideration of defining critical habitats/biodiversity for preparation of
necessary action plans for protection and management of the critical
habitats
Consideration of other regional targets to be developed
Regional investment strategies for biodiversity protection and
management
7.1.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to describe the Project's focus on developing
the SAP over the next two years (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/8).
7.1.2 Ms. Chiang described the PMO's proposal for the consideration and review of the
meeting. The proposal contained proposed targets and actions for biodiversity
issues. She highlighted that, early in 2007, the YSLME Project will conduct an SAP
Consultation to review and discuss targets and actions for the RWGs.
7.1.3 The Chairperson invited members to review the proposed implementation plan, and
provide comments on management issues, targets and proposed actions for
inclusion in the SAP.
7.1.4 Ms. Chiang noted that YSEPP has produced valuable information on habitat related
issues so that the meeting could agree on some management measures having
YSEPP as a valuable reference.
7.1.5 The meeting discussed that habitat conservation is one of the main targets of t e
h
RWG-B and agreed to focus on the criteria to identify and prioritize critical habitats.
7.1.6 Mr. Chen suggested targets focusing on endemic and vulnerable species and their key
habitats.
7.1.7 The meeting went on to discuss: i) the required criteria to produce management
measures; and, ii) the identification of key habitats. The meeting also discussed
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/3
Page 7
where vulnerable and endemic species could be used as a criterion
identif
for
ication
of critical habitats.
7.1.8 The meeting agreed on a list of major targets that are listed as Annex V.
7.1.9 The meeting agreed to leave for the SAP consultation meeting, the development
of the detailed actions and finalise the targets.
7.2 Other
Activities
7.2.1 Winter co-operative study cruise
7.2.1.1 The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to present activities that have been agreed
for implementation, but not yet initiated (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/9).
7.2.1.2 Ms. Chiang explained the negotiation process for this activity and requested the
meeting to consider if the meeting still consider the need to be part of the winter
cruise.
7.2.1.3 The delegation of China considered that
abird
the mammal and se
observation during
the co-operative study cruise is no longer necessary. However, the Korean
delegation did consider that this survey was still necessary.
7.2.1.4 The meeting agreed that the ways of participation of the RWG-B for this activity
should be reviewed and discussed at the 3rd RSTP meeting.
7.2.2 Suggestions for other activities
7.2.2.1 The delegation of China considered that the RWG-B should pay more attention to
endemic and vulnerable species and recommended to conduct a coastal biodiversity
survey in both coastal areas and in selected areas.
7.2.2.2 Mr. Chen mentioned that the coastal survey should have a focus on: i) endemic
species (China 4 species and Korea 3 species); ii) introduced species; and, iii)
vulnerable species. He noted that the results from the coastal survey could be useful
for the SAP development, and that there is also a need to focus on MPA
management issues and the development of an efficient networking system.
7.2.2.3 Ms. Chiang requested clarification on whether the data and results of the survey will
be fully shared between the countries in order for use in management interventions.
She clarified that the data and samples from the co-operative cruise is only
applicable for that activity and that any other activity involving data collection may
have their own restrictions.
7.2.2.4 Mr. Chen said that if the coastal survey is conducted by Chinese experts, there is no
need for government approval and the data and results can be shared based on
government regulations.
7.2.2.5 The delegation of Korea said that there is no need to conduct a coastal survey along
their shoreline, as fisheries institutions already conduct coastal surveys in Korea on a
regular basis.
7.2.2.6 Mr. Tobai suggested waiting for the SAP consultation's outcomes, and then re-
examining the coastal survey related issues accordingly.
7.2.2.7 The Secretariat acknowledged the need from the delegation of China to
conduct the coastal survey, and agreed to keep the Chinese suggestion with
no promise of supporting this activity, since it has not been agreed by the
meeting, but to raise again the issue when management measures are set
accordingly after the SAP Experts Consultation Meeting.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-B.3/3
Page 8
7.2.2.8 The delegation from Korea agreed with the Secretariat's suggestion on coastal
survey issues raised by the delegation from China.
7.2.2.9 The delegation of China agreed to provide the guidelines for any proposed coastal
survey prior to the SAP Experts Consultation.
7.2.2.10 Mr. Chen also suggested the need fo
n "MPA Workshop" t
r a
hat would address
scientific issues and a network of management policies. The Meeting noted that this
was an important activity to be undertaken.
7.2.2.11 The meeting also agreed that based on the results of the SAP Consultation
Meeting, this workshop will be examined on how it would contribute to
proposed management actions.
8
WORKPLAN FOR 2007
8.1. The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-
B.3/10 and invited the meeting to review and revise the workplan for the approval of
the forthcoming PSC meeting.
8.2. Ms. Chiang presented the Workplan developed by the PMO, based on the 2nd RWG-B
Meeting's agreements, and noted that it included minor changes listed at the bottom
of the "Workplan".
8.3. The meeting agreed to conduct an "SAP Consultation Meeting" including the
participation of regional experts early in 2007.
8.4 The meeting amended the Workplan proposed by the Secretariat and agreed on its
final version, Annex VI.
9 OTHER
BUSINESS
9.1 The Chairperson invited members to raise any other issues that needed to be
considered by the meeting.
9.2 Ms. Chiang noted that there is a need of on-time feedback from the contracted
institutions in order to follow up or finalise the administrative procedures related to
contracted activities (services provided by national institutions).
9.3 Mr. Chen suggested the Secretariat to examine th
possibility to send a PMO
e
representative, whenever possible, in order to follow up the revision of the reports
under the responsibility of local contracted inst utions.
it
9.4 Mr. Xu requested some clarification on the need to focus only in transboundary issues
when developing the regional synthesis report.
9.5 The Secretariat clarified that there is certainly a need to focus on transboundary issues
but, if considered necessary, the regional synthesis may highlight major national
issues and trends if deemed appropriate.
10 DATE AND PLACE FOR 4TH RWG-BIODIVERSITY MEETING
10.1 The Chairperson invited members to consider the date and place for the 4th RWG-B
Meeting.
10.2 Members agreed to have the Fourth RWG-B Meeting in Soegwipo, Jeju Island,
