OPENING OF THE MEETING
1.1
Welcome addresses
1.1.1 On behalf of the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea project, Mr. Yihang Jiang, Project Manager,
opened the meeting and welcomed the members of the Regional Working Group-
Investment (RWG-I) to Dalian, China. Mr. Jiang stated that there was a lot of
progress made during Project implementation since the last meeting. He highlighted
some major activities and their outputs, including the organisation of the
Parliamentary Conference and the establishment of the Yellow Sea Partnership. Mr.
Jiang also mentioned the development of the regional GIS and meta databases and
the implementation of the governance analysis, as well as the environmental
valuation studies.
1.1.2 Mr. Jiang pointed out that after nearly two years of implementation, the Yellow Sea
Project will finish the preparation of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), as
one major output of the project. He called the participants' attention to the activities
in the next two years, which will focus on development of the Strategic Action
Programme (SAP), the Project's other major output.
1.1.3 Mr. Mingyuan Zhu, Chairperson of the RWG-I, welcomed all participants to the third
meeting of RWG-I. Mr. Zhu invited the representatives from China and Korea to give
statements to the Meeting.

REVIEW OF COMPLETED AND ON-GOING INVESTMENT COMPONENT
ACTIVITIES
5.1
Stakeholder Involvement, Public Awareness and Participation
5.1.1 Mr. Endo explained the status and progress of the Project activities to raise
awareness among various stakeholders about the environmental problems in the
Yellow Sea (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/5). Those activities consisted of:
(1) Organisation of the Parliamentary Conference,
(2) Establishment of the Yellow Sea Partnership,
(3) Operation of the Small Grants Programme,
(4) Organisation and implementation of the Youth Programme,
(5) Organisation of the Local Government Training, and
(6) Implementation of the Internship Programme.
5.1.2 The Chairperson invited the members to examine reported activities and suggest
recommendations to improve them.
(1)
Organisation of the Parliamentary Conference
5.1.3 Mr. Jiang informed the Meeting that during the Parliamentary Conference the
participants felt that regular meetings of the parliamentary members will serve as a
useful mechanism to enhance co-operation and co-ordination of the parliamentary
organisations in the participating countries. He informed the Meeting that the next
Conference would be organised in Korea, and a detailed programme of the
Conference will be prepared after consultation with relevant organisations.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 3
5.1.4 Mr. Suh-Yong Chung stated that Parliamentary Conference will assist in securing
strong political support to the successful implementation of the Project. To obtain
such commitment, the Parliamentary Conference would be a good mechanism; he
suggested that the Project should keep the momentum going to organise the
Conference regularly. Considering the presidential election of Korea at the end of
2007, Mr. Chung further suggested that it would be better to prepare and organise
the next Conference at the beginning of 2007.
5.1.5 Mr. Cho supported an idea to have the Conference regularly, and he suggested to
co-operate with the Inchon City Government if the next Conference will be held at
Inha University. Mr. Cho believed that local government is one of the most important
stakeholders which would greatly contribute to the Project's implementation. Mr. Cho
suggested that the Project should take advantage of this opportunity to initiate and
strengthen the co-operation with local government.
5.1.6 Mr. Liang agreed that the Conference is a good mechanism to secure the dialogues
between the parliamentary organisations in Korea and China. He mentioned that it is
important to note that the Conference would be beneficial not only for current Project
implementation, but also for future activities in protecting marine environment and
using marine and coastal resources in a sustainable manner. Therefore, Mr. Liang
suggested the RWG-I to recommend to the Project Steering Committee (PSC) to
organise the second Conference and allocate necessary resources for this purpose.
5.1.7 The Meeting agreed to submit the recommendation to the PSC to organise the
second Conference and allocate necessary resources for this event, and consider to
have regular conference as a mechanism for co-operation between the parliamentary
organisations.
(2)
Establishment of the Yellow Sea Partnership
5.1.8 Mr. Jiang informed the meeting that the Yellow Sea Partnership (YSP) is aiming at
facilitating collective efforts among the partners for protection of marine environment
and for sustainable use of marine and coastal resources. He expressed the
willingness that the partnership would be self-sustained.
5.1.9 In responding to a question about the costs for other YSP member organisations to
participate in the YSP meetings, Mr. Jiang informed the Meeting that every partner
organisation covered its costs to attend the YSP meeting. Additionally, Mr. Jiang
emphasised the cost-sharing and cost-effectiveness of the partnership have provided
benefits to the Project. For example, the Yellow Sea Project could utilise the data
and results with no additional cost that the Yellow Sea Eco-Region Planning
Programme (YSEPP) produced.
5.1.10 The Meeting acknowledged the benefits and importance of the YSP and agreed
to support its activities.
(3)
Operation of the Small Grants Programme
5.1.11 Mr. Liang stated that the Small Grants Programme is a good initiative to enhance the
participation from a wide range of stakeholders, particularly those with less access to
funding. Most NGOs and local government agencies face difficulties to secure funds
to implement activities, although these organisations have excellent ideas and
technical capabilities for protecting marine environment. Therefore, Mr. Liang
strongly suggested continuing this Programme.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 4
5.1.12 To answer a question raised by Mr. Sukjae Kwon about the future budget for the
Programme, Mr. Jiang mentioned that the PSC approved the budget for 2006 to
2007. If the Project wishes to continue this Programme, PSC needs to consider this
Programme within the overall implementation and budget of the Project activities.
5.1.13 The Meeting reaffirmed the importance of the Small Grants Programme and
agreed to continue the Programme if approved by the PSC.
(4)
Organisation and implementation of the Youth Programme
5.1.14 Ms. Ming Yu mentioned that a summer camp during vacation period might be a
preferred format for the Youth Programme. She felt that it might be difficult for
middle school and high school students in the region to attend the Programme during
semesters due to their busy school work.
5.1.15 Mr. Cho suggested to target university students in addition to middle school and high
school students. He mentioned that universities have good programmes to promote
environmental protection and international co-operation. Mr. Cho thinks that the
experiences of those universities will improve the contents of the Youth Programme.
5.1.16 Mr. Chung mentioned that there are a variety of activities with various topics and
formats for the Youth Programme, including organising a UN Model-type workshop
and an essay competition with "the Yellow Sea" as a theme. Mr. Chung then offered
to provide specific ideas of possible contents for the Programme in consultation with
the participants attending this Meeting from universities.
5.1.17 The Chairperson suggested to have a sessional meeting with Mr. Chung and Ms. Yu
in order to prepare a guideline for the activities under the Youth Programme. The
Meeting agreed on the Chairperson's suggestion and to review the guideline
produced by the sessional meeting.
5.1.18 The sessional working group on the Youth Programme presented the following
guidelines for future activities:
·
The Youth Programme should target a wider range of audiences from
elementary school students to university students;
·
For elementary school students, it is suggested to organise summer camps
with site visits and hands-on activities to understand the environmental
problems in the Yellow Sea;
·
For middle school and high school students, organising a speech contest will
help them build their capacity to collect information, understand problems,
and communicate about the environmental issues in the Yellow Sea; and
·
For university students, it is suggested to provide them with voluntary work
experience of assisting the implementation of the Project activities.
5.1.19 The Meeting thanked the efforts of the sessional working group to prepare the
guidelines, and agreed to request the PMO to follow them for better planning
and implementation of relevant activities.
(5)
Organisation of the Local Government Training
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 5
5.1.20 Mr. Chung suggested that international marine law would be a good topic for the
future training to provide the information about the theory and practical examples.
5.1.21 Ms. Jingmei Li suggested that environmental valuation would be a possible topic for
the next Local Government Training. She thinks that local government officials
should incorporate the environmental economic aspects of coastal development into
their planning.
5.1.22 Mr. Liang suggested conducting a survey during the forthcoming local government
official training on required topics for future training.
5.1.23 Mr. Cho suggested that it would be more appropriate if the title of this programme
could be changed to better reflect the activities, such as "Local Government
Programme" and "Local Government Involvement."
5.1.24 The Meeting agreed that the PMO will decide on a new title for the activity in
consultation with relevant experts. The Meeting also agreed to identify a
specific theme for the next workshop after the questionnaire survey is
conducted in the forthcoming workshop.
(6)
Implementation of the Internship Programme
5.1.25 Having finished her first month as an intern at the PMO, Ms. Yan Wei informed the
meeting that she has gained a lot of knowledge of managing an international project
under the United Nations programmes already.
5.1.26 From his internship experience with the Partnership in Environmental Management
for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA), Mr. Yafeng Yang mentioned that the internship
programme would be beneficial for not only interns themselves, but also project
implementation.
5.1.27 Acknowledging the benefits from the internship programme, Mr. Kwon thought that it
is necessary to review the benefits and cost of the programme.
5.1.28 The Meeting agreed that a review report of the intern programme should be
prepared by PMO and submit to PSC for consideration.
5.2
NGO and private sector's membership in PSC
5.2.1 Based on the survey results on similar GEF-funded projects, Mr. Endo introduced a
draft guideline for granting the membership of Project Steering Committee (PSC) to
NGOs and private entities (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/6).
5.2.2 Mr. Chung stated that the NGOs are evolving and the importance of NGOs as
stakeholders is increasing. However, he thought that it might be too early to grant
the full membership to NGOs and private sectors, although he agreed on the idea to
invite those important stakeholders to the PSC as observers.
5.2.3 Mr. Liang agreed with Mr. Chung that the Project should be careful about granting full
membership to NGOs and private entities.
5.2.4 Mr. Jiang mentioned that the GEF requires all stakeholders, including NGOs and
private sectors, to be involved in the Project implementation, in particular the
preparation of the SAP.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 6
5.2.5 The Meeting agreed to present the draft guideline together with the views
expressed by the members of this group to PSC for further consideration.
5.3
Data and Information Management
5.3.1 After a brief introduction of background information regarding this agenda item by the
secretariat, Mr. Hoi-Soo Jung presented the report for the development of regional
GIS and Meta databases (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/7). He explained the
base GIS map preparation as well as the database design. Mr. Jung mentioned that
a prototype application of the GIS system has been designed and built, and that the
system has been installed and running steadily and safely. Mr. Jung emphasised
that the databases focus on the needs of end users. With further testing and
refinement, the system can be more reliable and efficient.
5.3.2 Mr. Jiang expressed his sincere gratitude for the provision of ArcGIS software by the
First Institute of Oceanography (FIO). Then, he thanked the China-Korea Joint
Ocean Research Center (CKJORC) for their hard work to develop the databases. He
mentioned that with the databases established in the CKJORC, the focus will shift to
the operation of the databases. He emphasised that there are a lot of data centres
and databases existing in the region. It is important that the co-operation and co-
ordination with other data centres and systems could be secured. Such co-operation
will enhance the usefulness and sustainability of the Project's GIS and meta
databases.
5.3.3 Mr. Cho congratulated the CKJORC to complete this essential work for the project.
He informed the Meeting that the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) has been a
producing socioeconomic database, which will be available for use in the Project.
5.3.4 The meeting agreed that CKJORC should prepare a proposal for the future to
be submitted to the RSTP for consideration.
5.3.5 The meeting agreed to invite the National Project Co-ordinator for Korea to
consider the locations of the mirror site in consultation with relevant
organisations.

PREPARATION OF THE TDA
6.1 Governance
Analysis
6.1.1 Ms. Ming Yu presented the draft report of Governance Analysis for China (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/8). She highlighted process and major findings of the
analysis, including the underlying root causes of the Yellow Sea's ecosystem
problems, and suggested options for future interventions to address the problems.
6.1.2 The Chairperson invited the members to suggest how the findings and
recommendations of the Governance Analysis report could be included in the TDA,
and to consider how the management implications of the Governance Analysis could
contribute to the SAP.
6.1.3 Mr. John Michael Bewers congratulated Ms. Yu on the excellent job the team has
done. He mentioned that the report provides a good picture of the national laws in
China as well as the international conventions. To improve the report, Mr. Bewers
suggested making the connection clear between identified problems and possible
causes, on which the TDA will conduct relevant analysis.
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 7
6.1.4 Mr. Jiang stated that the report addressed a number of important issues successfully,
including the identification of the areas to be enhanced, such as the institutional co-
ordination and the harmonisation and enforcement of legislation. He felt those
information would be very useful for consideration of necessary solutions during the
preparation of SAP.
6.1.5 The members of the group provided some detailed comments for improving the
Governance Analysis report:
·
Mr. Chung mentioned that it would be better to discuss international
institutions in the institutional analysis; and
·
Ms. Wei stated that the chapter five of the report needs to be revised to better
reflect the information provided in the document and the results of analysis.
6.1.6 Mr. Dong-Oh Cho presented the draft report of Governance Analysis for Korea
(Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/8). He explained the findings from stakeholder
analysis, institutional analysis, legal and policy analysis. Based on these analytical
works, Mr. Cho provided recommendations on the necessary actions to improve the
situations stated in the document.
6.1.7 Mr. Chung suggested the relevant analysis on the roles of governmental
organisations such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) should be
added.
6.1.8 Mr. Chung also suggested making the two government analysis reports comparable.
To discuss this matter, the meeting agreed to set up a sessional working group with
participation of Mr. Cho and Ms. Yu to discuss and provide to the plenary session
suggestions on the improvements of the reports.
6.1.9 The sessional working group reported its discussion and recommendation on the
regional governance analysis, and provided preliminary ideas on its objectives,
issues and possible contents. Pointing out its significance to the SAP development,
Mr. Cho suggested conducting the regional governance analysis as a new activity
under the RWG-I.
6.1.10 Mr. Chung mentioned that the outputs of the regional governance analysis might be
different from those of the national governance analyses because there would be
different focus and approaches. With invitation from the members of the group, Mr.
Chung volunteered to prepare an outline of the possible regional governance
analysis. PMO will circulate the outlines to the members of the RWG-I for further
consideration during next RSTP meeting.
6.1.11 The meeting thanked Mr. Chung's offer and agreed that the necessary actions
should be taken accordingly.
6.1.12 The meeting discussed the publication of the Governance Analysis reports,
and agreed that the reports should be published after improvements of the
documents based on the comments and suggestion made by the Meeting.
6.2 Draft
TDA
6.2.1 Mr. Bewers gave a presentation of the TDA development, explaining its objective,
structure, and components (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/TDA Draft1). He briefly
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3
Page 8
introduced the procedures of the development of TDA, with special reference to the
Causal Chain Analysis (Annex IV). Mr. Bewers noted the linkage between the
Governance Analysis and the TDA, in particular in relevance to identify the root
causes of the environmental problems in the Yellow Sea.
6.2.2 For better understanding of the new members of the Regional Working Group, Mr.
Jiang introduced the overall procedure and tasks of the TDA and SAP, including the
roles of the Causal Chain Analysis and Governance Analysis.
6.2.3 The Meeting agreed that with appreciation of the TDA consultant of his rich
experience and hard work, the TDA should be completed according to the
overall workplan of the Project. The Meeting requested PMO to take necessary
actions to facilitate the preparation of TDA on time. The RWG-I is ready to
provide full support to the TDA consultant to complete his work.
7
PREPARATION OF THE SAP
7.1 Environmental
Valuation
7.1.1 Ms. Li presented the final report of Environmental Valuation with the focus on
mariculture (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/9). She explained major findings,
including the ecosystem services to be addressed to comprehend the total economic
value of the Yellow Sea ecosystem; and provided the valuation methods for the
priority ecosystem services, especially those relevant to mariculture.
7.1.2 Mr. Zhu informed the Meeting about the preliminary results from the case study with
the focus on mariculture. The case study was conducted in the Sanggou Bay where
extensive mariculture operation was observed.
7.1.3 The members were invited to consider the information provided by Ms. Li and Mr.
Zhu, and to suggest how to improve the report and how the findings can contribute to
mariculture management and to the SAP development.
7.1.4 After the participants exchanged their initial thoughts, the meeting agreed to form a
sessional working group with Ms. Li, Mr. Kwon, and Mr. Endo to review the
preliminary results produced so far, and provide suggestions on improving the draft
report.
7.1.5 The sessional working group for Environment Valuation informed the meeting about
the results of the discussion. The sessional working group discussed how to improve
the draft guideline with case studies, that were prepared by the consultant, and what
framework and information the regional guideline should contain. The sessional
working group shared views on the detailed suggestion of the draft report with the
case study in mariculuture; however, the sessional working group members did not
reach consensus on the technical framework conducting the relevant studies. The
sessional working group confirmed that the members will continue necessary co-
operation after this meeting to improve the results of the draft report and the case
study.
7.1.6 The meeting discussed the ways to implement case studies focusing on
tourism and agreed that this activity should be implemented as agreed in the
2nd meeting of the RWG-I. PMO should advertise the work again with clear
Terms of Reference (TOR), and a contractor should be selected after open
bidding.

7.2
National Co-ordination and Implementation
7.2.1 On behalf of Mr. Haiqing Li, National Project Co-ordinator (NPC) of China, Mr. Liang
presented the progress report on National Co-ordination in China (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/10). He described the co-ordination with relevant
government agencies with respect to the co-operative cruise, the small grants
programme, and the data and information collection. Mr. Liang also explained the
assistance provided by NPC on the negotiation to involve the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project.
7.2.2 On behalf of Mr. Hyung-Tack Huh, National Project Co-ordinator (NPC) of Korea, Mr.
Cho presented the progress report on National Co-ordination in Korea (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/10). Mr. Cho explained the co-ordination for major activities
including those of the Inter-Ministerial Co-ordinating Committee (IMCC). Mr. Cho
reported it was difficult to nominate members to the RWG meetings due to the lack of
incentives. He has suggested that the members will attend the meeting more
regularly with "institutional incentives" given. The Project should convince the
organisations which provide the members to put higher priorities on the RWGs.
7.2.3 To strengthen national co-ordination functions, Mr. Jiang mentioned according to the
requirements of GEF and commitments of the participating governments, more
stakeholders should be involved in the inter-ministry committees and the national
working groups.
7.2.4 The meeting noted the reports provided by NPCs and agreed to report to the
NPCs on the discussion and agreements of the RWG-I.
7.3 Financial
Sustainability
7.3.1 Following the agreement made by the Second RWG-I Meeting and endorsed by the
Second PSC Meeting, Mr. Yihang Jiang presented preliminary considerations for
financial sustainability of the Project (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/11).
Having explained the types of financial resources and sustainable mechanisms, Mr.
Jiang proposed options for future actions to be taken during the next two yeas. He
informed the Meeting that relevant actions on the financial sustainability will be
included in SAP.
7.3.2 Having considered that the Project will finish in 2009, Mr. Cho suggested that the
Project should consider the application of the second phase as early as possible to
secure funding from GEF for implementation of the SAP. He felt that the Project
should prepare and submit an estimation of the budget for implementing SAP so that
the governments and donor agencies can consider within their financial frameworks.
7.3.3 Mr. Liang mentioned that government funds are likely to be most possible sources of
funding due to the heavy investments by the governments in the past for the
protection of the Yellow Sea marine environment. He suggested a well-developed
SAP for the sustainable development of the Yellow Sea environment be presented to
the governments for potential support.
7.3.4 The Meeting agreed on the preliminary consideration prepared by the PMO,
and agreed that the strategy for financial sustainability should be prepared as
part of the SAP.

OTHER ACTIVITIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED FROM 2007 AND ONWARDS
8.1
The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to present activities with respect to (1) Yellow
Sea Partnership and (2) data and information management, that have been agreed
for implementation, but not yet initiated (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/12).
(1)
Yellow Sea Partnership
8.2
Referring to the Yellow Sea Partnership with a few members from China, Mr. Jiang
suggested to take more actions in China to get wider participation of Chinese
organisations in the YSP.
8.3
The meeting realised the necessity of inviting more organisations from China,
and requested the PMO to promote the expansion of the membership in
consultation with current YSP members as well as the NPC in China.
8.4
The Meeting considered the suggestion from Mr. Yang to upgrade capacity of the
local governmental officers and communities in report and proposal writing, and
agreed that the workshop planned for 2008 should be organised in 2007.
8.5
Mr. Chung suggested the relevant information on Project activities should be
advertised in the Project webpage, and the meeting agreed with this
suggestion.
8.6
Mr. Cho suggested the fund raising workshop should focus on marine environment
aspect. The meeting agreed that the workshop on fund raising will be kept as
originally planned.
8.7
Mr. Cho also suggested building co-operation with universities that engage in
international programmes. He stated that those universities might provide the Project
with interpretation service, while they would benefit from working with the Project.
8.8
The meeting appreciated the information provided, and agreed to invite
members of the group to provide PMO with relevant information for further
actions.
(2)
Data and Information Management
8.9
The meeting discussed this issue in the previous agenda item. Therefore there was
no further discussion on this matter. However the meeting noted that in order to
maintain and operate the databases, to gather relevant data from other data sources,
there will be further financial requirements that need to be considered by the RSTP
and PSC. The relevant issues should be included in the CKJORC's proposal to be
submitted to RSTP for consideration.

Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Purpose of a TDA
Specify options for intervention to address transboundary
problems in the Yellow Sea.
Options for intervention identified in the TDA are used as a
basis for selection of interventions in the Strategic Action
Plan (SAP).
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
CONDUCTING A TDA IS THE FIRST STEP IN
BUILDING STAKEHOLDER OWNERSHIP
AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL
TDA provides a sound scientific basis for action that
must be fully understood by all stakeholders
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Structure and Content of a TDA
1. Characterization of environmental problems;
2. Identification of priorities among problems;
3. Identification of the causes of problems; (causal chain
analysis)
4. Ranking of causes;
5. Discriminating between domestic (national) and
transboundary problems; and
6. Identification of options for management intervention to
mitigate or resolve problems.
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
TDA Preparation
1. Is conducted primarily from technical and scientific
perspectives;
2. May need some socio-economic expertise but does
not normally require policy-level involvement; and
3. All policy-level considerations are dealt within the
Strategic Action Plan (SAP).
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Actions required by Working Groups
· The characterization of environmental problems;
· The completion of a causal chain analysis for each
problem; and
· The identification of options for management
intervention.
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Characterization of Environmental Problems
Each problem must be described and characterized
in terms of its adverse effects.
Based on the data and information assembled, this
should include the nature of the problem and, where
possible, quantify its impact in socio-economic terms
e.g. loss of jobs, loss of production, loss of tourism
income.
Quantification of impact in monetary terms assists
the priority ranking of problems.
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Domestic versus Transboundary
If the problem arises in the waters of a single
country and is caused wholly by activities or
sources within that country, the problem is a
domestic problem.
If the problem lies in international waters or in
the waters under the jurisdiction of a country
other than that in which the causes arise, the
problem is a transboundary problem.
Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
A Causal Chain Analysis is
Unidirectional and starts from the identified
environmental issue and/or problem
Identifies the causes of each problem in a
sequence from the most immediate to the more
fundamental causes
Moves from the environmental (natural sciences)
domain through the chain of cause and effect to
the "root" cause that frequently lies in the social,
cultural and economic domain

Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA)
Steps to be taken
1. Consider the list of environmental problems and revise the list
as appropriate;
2. Summarize the nature of the problem, where it occurs and its
severity;
3. Conduct a causal chain analysis for each problem;
4. Consider the options for intervention for each cause in the
causal chain and
5. Summarize the advantages and disadvantages for each
intervention.
