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), and other participants to Shanghai, China. After informed the
meeting of the recent development in Project implementation, Mr. Jiang mentioned
that with the drafting of the Regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP) completed
successfully, the Project had started planning for the implementation of the SAP--the
Project's 2nd Phase--under the request of the Project Steering Committee (PSC). To
attain GEF funding, the initial Project Identification Form and the Project Document
should be developed. One of the most important tasks for this meeting was to
provide inputs for preparing those documents.

1.1.2 Mr. Mingyuan Zhu, Chairperson of RWG-I welcomed the participants to the meeting.
Referring to major agenda items to be discussed during this meeting, Mr. Zhu hoped

REVIEW OF COMPLETED AND ON-GOING INVESTMENT COMPONENT
ACTIVITIES

5.1
Contribution to the preparation of the Strategic Action Programme

Political and Social Acceptance Analysis

5.1.1 Ms. Goueun Lee and Ms. Ming Yu, Consultants of the Political and Social
Acceptance Analysis (PSAA), gave presentations on the results of the PSAA for
Republic of Korea (ROK) and for China, respectively.

5.1.2 After explaining the background and methodology of the study, Ms. Lee presented
analytical results. She mentioned that the SAP was consistent with existing
government policies and guidelines in terms of fisheries, pollution, ecosystem &
biodiversity, and governance. However, Ms. Lee indicated that there were several
aspects in which further efforts would be considered to improve the SAP.
Specifically, she presented nine recommendations to be considered with respect to,
for example, DPRK participation, close co-operation with relevant ministries, and
capacity building of NGOs and local governments.

5.1.3 Ms. Yu presented the analytical results, stating that the SAP was consistent with
China's legislation and policies. She mentioned that most management actions were
supported by existing national plans and laws. Ms. Yu further presented specific
comments provided by various stakeholders, and she suggested recommendations
to address those comments. Ms. Yu concluded that in general, the SAP was
accepted positively by stakeholders, although there were some issues to be
addressed, including the lack of understanding among stakeholders of ecosystem-
based approach that the SAP advocated.

5.1.4 Participants exchanged their views and opinions with the presenters, providing some
suggestions to improve the PSAA reports.

5.1.5 After all questions raised by the participants were duly answered by the consultants,
the Meeting thanked Ms. Lee and Ms. Yu for their works, and suggested that all the
comments provided by the participants to be reflected in the final drafts of the
PSAA, and that the final drafts should be used as a reference to facilitate
endorsement of the SAP by the participating countries.

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Demonstration Activities

5.1.6 Ms. Wei Zheng, Consultant of economic analysis, presented the progress in
conducting a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of one of the SAP demonstration activities:
Improvement of sustainable mariculture technique (integrated multi-trophic
aquaculture).

5.1.7 Ms. Zheng explained the concept and methodology to be employed, describing the
demonstration site in Sanggou Bay, based on the data and information provided by
the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute (YSFRI). She mentioned that the
Analysis will be conduced in the close co-operation with YSFRI.

5.1.8 Participating economists provided a wide range of comments with respect to the
methodology. Specifically, participants discussed the following issues: environmental
benefits, valuation methods, discount rates, and externalities. A suggestion was
made to use benefit-cost ratio rather than NPV to avoid the problem of scale in
measured economic value when multiple alternatives would be compared. There
was a discussion on the period of aggregating benefit and cost amounts.
Participants suggested using several valuation methods, comparing results from
different approaches to provide recommendation for the future activities. Having
appreciated the comments, Ms. Wei told that she would consider them and apply
suggested methodologies as much as possible to the CBA.

5.1.9 A suggestion was made to organise a sessional working group meeting with the
economists to discuss and propose alternative methods to be employed to assess
cost-benefit performance of the IMTA demonstration activity. The meeting agreed on
this suggestion.

5.1.10 The working group reported the result of the discussion, providing possible
alternative methods to evaluate cost-benefit performance of the mariculture
demonstration activity. The group emphasised that it was important to review the
availability of data to be analysed before selecting appropriate methods. Participants
emphasized that the key issue of the CBA was to identify (select) appropriate
methods to measure the environmental benefits to be generated from reduced
amount of nutrient loads. As possible methods, the replacement cost method, the
use of proxy variables, and the Emergy approach were suggested. The group then
suggested the use of production function with various parameters (e.g., nutrients)
incorporated. Simple regression analysis would suffice to estimate the relationship
between, for example, nutrient loading and cultured fish production. Ms. Zheng and
other participants noted the proposed methods, appreciating suggestions from the
working group.

5.1.11 After some comments were exchanged and questions were duly answered, the
Meeting encouraged the consultant to further the analysis, considering the
comments and suggestions provided by the participants as well as by the
Sessional group.

National Strategic Action Plans

5.1.12 Mr. Zhu explained the NSAP preparation conducted by China, highlighting some of
the major components of the Plan. The NSAP Working Group was formed with
national government officials, natural scientists, social scientists, and local
government officials. There were six working group meetings organised in 2008,
leaving the final seventh meeting to be organised in November 2008. Mr. Zhu
reported that the draft NSAP consisting of seven chapters was prepared already.
Those chapters included the management actions for the period of 2009-2020 and
the enforcement mechanism in line with the regional SAP. After discussing the final
draft at the seventh meeting, the Working Group aimed at completing the NSAP and
securing the government endorsement by the end of 2008.

5.1.13 Mr. Sukjae Kwon stated that NSAP Working Group was formed in ROK, and that the
Group would prepare the structure of the NSAP, conduct consultation meetings with
various stakeholders, and create the draft Plan for the government to review and
endorse. He explained the methodology to be used in NSAP preparation: gap
analysis, expert group meeting, and consultation meeting. Gap analysis was to
identify the limitation or "gaps" between ideal and existing policies/actions. The
expert group would be organised under the Working Group, which is in charge of
drafting the NSAP. Mr. Kwon mentioned that the MLTM provided matching funds to
co-finance the work. The Working Group aimed at preparing the NSAP by March
2009.

5.1.14 There was a concern raised about the delay in preparing the NSAP for ROK. The
draft NSAP should be presented and discussed at the next RSTP/PSC meetings in
November 2008. The NSAP preparation should be accelerated.

5.1.15 The Meeting noted the progresses made in each country and suggested to speed
up the process so as to complete the preparation of the NSAPs to provide
inputs to the preparation of the documents for the 2nd phase on time.

Approval of the regional SAP

5.1.16 Representatives of the participating countries were invited to update the meeting on
the status of the Regional SAP approval.

5.1.17 Mr. Huh mentioned that the draft SAP was sent to the relevant ministries in ROK.
The Inter-Ministerial Co-ordination Committee (IMCC) meeting will further discuss the
endorsement issue in November 2008. Mr. Huh had an impression that the
government would be likely to endorse the SAP; there were neither negative
comments nor objections provided by relevant agencies. Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and Trade (MOFAT), GEF focal point, would send the endorsement letter to the
PMO.

5.1.18 Mr. Liang informed the meeting that comments from relevant Chinese governmental
agencies were solicited, and those comments were being analised. Mr. Liang also
informed that the formal request was sent to the Ministry of Finance for their
consideration and approval. He added that it was likely to get the endorsement
without major difficulties.

5.1.19 Considering the signing ceremony of SAP endorsement during the next PSC
meeting, the meeting thought that it would be possible to hold the ceremony. The
meeting suggested inviting a government official at the Director General level
(or his/her representative) of the GEF Focal Point in each participating country

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.5/3
Page 5
to sign the MOU. The meeting also suggested inviting media to the PSC to
report/broadcast the signing ceremony. The PMO will contact relevant media
agencies for necessary arrangements.

5.1.20 Having appreciated the efforts made by the National Project Co-ordinators (NPCs),
and relevant ministries in the countries, the Meeting invited the governments to
continue the national consultation in order to secure endorsement of the SAP.

5.2
Data and Information Management ­ Regional GIS Databases & Technical
Workshop

5.2.1 Mr. Zhu of the China-Korea Joint Ocean Research Center (CKJORC) explained the
latest developments of the regional GIS databases, referring to the results of the
technical workshop (Qingdao, China, 23-24 August 2008). Mr. Zhu detailed that
there were several major improvements made, following the suggestions made by
experts who attended the workshop. Those improvements included the following: (i)
introduced new categories (physical, chemical, and biological parameters) to
organise and retrieve data and information, (ii) introduced new GIS maps and
visual/graphical interfaces, and (iii) updated search engine for easy data query and
retrieval.

5.2.2 The meeting was informed that the Korea Ocean Research and Development
Institute (KORDI) expressed its interest in hosting the mirror site at the Institute.
However, there was a suggestion, made by KORDI's experts on data and information
services, to establish the mirror site in the Project's 2nd Phase because there were
not enough data stored in the databases that would require the mirror site at this
moment.

5.2.3 The Meeting thanked the CKJORC and the First Institute of Oceanography for their
dedication to the data and information management. The Meeting suggested for
the Center to continuously improve information service through the databases,
strengthening the network with regional data centres. Additionally, the Meeting
decided to suggest developing the mirror site during the 2nd Phase when more
data and information were available, considered the comments from the experts.

5.3
Stakeholder Involvement, Public Awareness and Participation

5.3.1 Referring to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.5/5, the Secretariat briefed the
progresses of the following public awareness activities:

· Yellow Sea Partnership*;
· Youth
Programme*;
· Drawing and photo competitions;
· Voluntary internship programme*; and
· Associate Expert programme*.

(Activities with an asterisk (*) are to be continued in 2009.)

5.3.2 Mr. Endo informed the meeting that the Youth Programme, the drawing and photo
competitions, and the voluntary internship programme were successfully
implemented in co-operation with a number of partner organisations, including the
Buan Municipal Government, the China Ocean News, the Korea Marine Rescue
Center, the Korea University, and the Northwest Pacific Action Plan,

5.3.3 The additional information was given to the meeting that Korea University invited
Chinese counterparts to join the Model United Nations (MUN) that will be organised
in February 2009 by the Korea University. The registration fee of Chinese students
attending the MUN would be waived thanks to kind arrangement by the University;
however, other costs of participation will not be covered by the Korea University.

5.3.4 The Meeting acknowledged the progress and encouraged the PMO to continue
public awareness activities as proposed in 2009.

5.4
National Co-ordination and Implementation

5.4.1 Mr. Liang and Mr. Huh presented the reports of national co-ordination in China and
ROK, respectively. The reports covered a wide range of co-ordination activities
taken by the NPCs, including the implementation of Co-operative Cruises, the
facilitation of the SAP endorsement, the preparation of the NSAP, the organisation of
national working group meetings, and the co-ordiantion with relevant agencies for
implementing demonstration activities.

5.4.2 The Meeting acknowledged all the co-ordination activities reported by the
NPCs and thanked them for dedication to the work. The Meeting believed that
the co-ordination work has been and will be greatly contributing to securing the
endorsement of SAP/NSAPs, implementing SAP demonstration activities, and
preparing for the Project's 2nd Phase.

5.5
Small grant projects

5.5.1 Secretariat explained the results and progress in the Small Grants Programme. Mr.
Endo mentioned that the Programme Report was published, that summarised six
completed projects funded in 2006. Five projects funded in 2007 were implemented
as scheduled; three projects were completed already. Following the successful
implementation of the Programme in the past two years, the Project funded five
projects under the Programme in 2008.

5.5.2 Having acknowledged the progress, the meeting thought that the Small Grants
Programme was an effective way to encourage stakeholder participation in Project
activities. The meeting noted that the existing projects funded under the Programme
would be completed by 2009; there will be no new project to be granted in 2009.

action should be implemented

6.1.1 Mr. Endo introduced this agenda to the meeting by explaining the progress in the 2nd
Phase preparation, the governance actions suggested by the SAP, and the activities
proposed by Project Phase 2 Working Group. He informed that the meeting should
review the activities proposed for the 2nd Phase, keeping in mind the limited funds
from GEF. The participants were invited to suggest revising or consolidating the
proposed activities, replacing them with new activities, and/or reallocating budgets
according to priorities.

UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.5/3
Page 7
6.1.2 Mr. Endo informed that there was currently no consulting work of cost-benefit
analysis (CBA) of management actions proposed under the "finance" component.
However, the RWG for Fisheries Component (RWG-F) suggested conducting a CBA
of boat buy-back, for which the budget was allocated already. The RWG-F would like
to conduct a CBA of mariculture activities if budget were available. Similarly, the
RWG for Pollution Component would like to have a CBA of management activities
addressing pollution, and the Group asked for the RWG-I to consider allocating
budget to the CBA.

6.1.3 The Meeting worked in plenary to review the proposed activities. Questions were
raised with respect to various activities proposed as Governance Activities, including
the provision of equipment for research and monitoring, the cost and effective
operation (of the YSLME Commission), and the YSLME Clearing House. The
meeting had intensive discussions on harmonisation of domestic legislation. The
meeting shared additional information and explanation provided by Secretariat and
participants, gained clear understanding of the points that were questioned and
discussed, and reached a consensus on all the points.

6.1.4 The meeting discussed the necessity of including cost-benefit analysis of SAP
management actions as one of the 2nd Phase activities, keeping in mind the request
from the RWG-F and the RWG-P. The Meeting then agreed to discuss this issue
further in the next Regional Science and Technical Panel (RSTP) meeting.

6.1.5 After having exhaustive discussions and making necessary revisions, the Meeting
agreed on the final version of the table of activities. The table is attached to
this document as Annex IV.


7
OTHER ACTIVITIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN 2009

7.1
Information on the operational changes at UNOPS

7.1.1 Secretariat introduced this agenda item by explaining the change taken by UNOPS in
awarding contracts. To make procurement fairer and more transparent, the UNOPS
has introduced a new set of procedures and standards in 2008. The new protocol
applies to every aspect of procurement activity, including soliciting and evaluating
proposals. The UNOPS's Headquarters Contracts and Property Committee
(HQCPC), an evaluation panel, reviews the requests for awarding contracts,
submitted by project management offices, according to the new rules. As a result,
significant delays might be caused in issuing contracts and disbursing funds.

7.1.2 The participants noted the information provided by the PMO.

7.2
Other activities needed

7.2.1 Secretariat overviewed proposed activities for 2009.

7.2.2 Being satisfied with the proposal, the Meeting proposed no other new activities to
be implemented in 2009.


8
WORKPLAN FOR 2009

8.1
Based on a draft workplan prepared by the PMO (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.
5/8), the Meeting discussed and created the workplan for 2009. The agreed

---

workplan, attached as Annex V, will be submitted to the next PSC Meeting for
its consideration and approval.


9
PROPOSED CANCELLATION OF 6TH RWG-INVESTMENT MEETING FOR THE
2ND REGIONAL SCIENCE CONFERENCE

9.1
Secretariat proposed to organise the 2nd Regional Science Conference, instead of
the 6th RWG-I meeting, to summarise and present the results and findings of the
Project activities.

9.2 The
Meeting
agreed on the proposal to organise the 2nd Regional Science
Conference, recognising its importance for integrating and disseminating all the
Project outputs.


10
ADOPTION OF THE MEETING REPORT

10.1 The Chairperson led the discussion of the draft meeting report prepared by the
Secretariat. The report was reviewed, amended, and adopted by the Meeting.


11
CLOSURE OF THE MEETING

11.1 Chairperson thanked the participants for their hard work. Mr. Zhu thought the
meeting produced a number of important recommendations for the preparation of
Project's 2nd Phase. He thanked all the contributions that had been made by the
RWG-I members in the last five years.

11.2 Mr. Chang showed his gratitude toward the Chairperson for his strong leadership that
he had exercised since the Project started. Without Mr. Zhu's leadership, Mr. Chang
believed, the RWG-I would not have produced such significant results. Mr. Chang
also extended his gratitude to the participants, especially those from China, for their
commitment to discussing issues in a co-operative way.

11.3 Mr. Jiang joined Mr. Chang to thank the Chairperson for his excellent guidance to
lead the meeting to its successful outcomes. Mr. Jiang thought that the technical
inputs that were provided during this meeting would contribute to Project
implementation in the future, especially the preparation of the 2nd Phase. He thanked
the participants for their hard work and asked for continuous support to the Project.
