OPENING OF THE MEETING
1.1 Welcome
addresses
1.1.1 On behalf of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Mr. Zhe YANG
opened the meeting. He welcomed all participants, admiring the effort and progress
made by the participating countries, People's Republic of China (China) and Republic
of Korea (ROK), for successful implementation of the Project. Mr. Yang gave a warm
welcome to Mr. Chan-Woo KIM, stating that Mr. Kim was involved in this Project at
the initial stage. Mr. Yang also welcomed Mr. Andrew MENZ, and hoped the meeting
would benefit from his insights and experiences. Mr. Yang was sorry that the
representatives of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) did not attend this
meeting, but mentioned that DPRK had endorsed its participation in the Project
officially, and he hoped to see the DPRK's participation in the near future. Mr. Yang
also regretted that Mr. Randall PURCELL, Global Environment Facility (GEF)
Regional Technical Advisor, was unable to attend the meeting due to his sickness.
1.1.2 Mr. Zhe Yang reminded the participants that the Project Steering Committee (PSC)
was to review the progress and achievements in the Project implementation. He also
reminded the meeting of the roles and responsibilities of the participating PSC
members. Having highlighted the progress of the Project activities, Mr. Yang
admired the dedication of all relevant people, particularly the Project Management
Office (PMO), for its dedication and hard work. Mr. Yang furthermore appreciated
the spirit of co-operation that had been observed during the Project implementation
between the two participating governments in China and ROK. Mr. Yang mentioned
that those governments worked hard to solve problems that had risen in
implementing the Project activities.
1.1.3 On behalf of the Government of Republic of Korea, Mr. Heung Kyeong PARK
extended to all participants, particularly Mr. Haiqing LI, Mr. Zhe Yang, Mr. Menz, and
Mr. Michael BEWERS, a warm welcome to Jeju island. Mr. Park thanked Mr. Yihang
JIANG and his team for organising the meeting. Mr. Park was pleased that the
Project activities had been implemented well, emphasising the progress in the
preparation of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA); various outreach
programmes, including the parliamentary conference; and the involvement of DPRK.
He believed that the DPRK participation would provide a momentum for the Project
to produce further substantial progresses. About the co-operative cruise studies, Mr.
Park appreciated the efforts and contributions made by the PMO. He emphasised
that the cruises should be carried out on the basis of the existing decisions,
especially those made at the Second PSC Meeting in Kunming and the Special PSC
in Qingdao. Finally, Mr. Park hoped this meeting would produce substantial outputs
in the sprit of co-operation between China and ROK.
1.1.4 On behalf of the Government of China, Mr. Li expressed his sincere appreciation to
the delegation from ROK for hosting the meeting. He was pleased that the Project
had made a number of achievements already, including the preparation of the first
draft TDA. Mr. Li mentioned that with the TDA prepared, the Project entered a new
important phase which is the development of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP).
He noted that the TDA identifies root causes based on scientific research activities,
while the SAP identifies possible future policy development and institutional
arrangements. Mr. Li further noted that although there might be challenges for the
Project, there would be a lot of opportunities to overcome those difficulties and to
improve the co-operation between the two countries. Mr. Li invited the meeting to:
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3

Recognise again the importance of mutual understanding and co-operative
sprit;
Continue existing and extensive co-operation in Project implementation;
Adopt a practical down-to-earth approach for implementing Project activities;
and
Explore innovative ways to create a model for similar projects.
1.1.5 On behalf of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Mr. Menz
congratulated all the participants for having made a significant progress in
implementation, complimenting the hard work of everyone involved, especially the
efforts of the PMO. He noted that there were some problems remaining to be solved,
and that frank manner and spirit of cooperation were important when addressing the
remaining issues. He hoped that the PSC meeting could serve as a platform to
discuss and solve these problems.
1.1.6 Mr. Wenxi ZHU, as representative of Intergovernmental Oceanographic Comission
Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (IOC/WESTPAC), complimented the hard
work done by the PMO. Mr. Zhu acknowledged a number of achievements made by
the Project, and expressed the willingness to start co-operation with the Project
through its various marine science and service programmes relevant to remote
sensing, WESTPAC-HAB, and Ocean Data and Information Exchange, in the near
future.

The efforts to involve DPRK in the project;
Operation of the PMO;
Intern
programme;
Project website, YS Partnership website, and e-discussion forum;
Challenges for project implementation; and
Recommendations to overcome the challenges.
4.4
Following the Project Manger's report, the Meeting congratulated Mr. Jiang on his
comprehensive report on past year's Project achievements. The PMO was
complimented for its professional work and achievements even with one officer short.
4.5
Mr. Menz expressed his concern regarding the Project Manager's report that some
contractors were delivering reports late or of unsatisfactory quality. He suggested
that the PMO evaluate and record contractors' performance to be taken into account
for future contracting of Project activities.
4.6
The PMO was encouraged to continue ensuring the timeliness and quality of
deliverables.
4.7
Mr. Li expressed his satisfaction with the PMO's work during the past year,
mentioning that some activities were especially noteworthy. Those activities include:
TDA which summarises past work and paves way for future;
DPRK's entry into the Project; and
Innovative implementation mechanisms, e.g. organisation of parliamentary
conference, Small Grants Programme, and other public awareness activities.
4.8
Mr. Li complimented the Project Manger's efforts to get DPRK involved in the Project,
strictly following PSC's decision and instructions, and expressed China's willingness
to continue to assist the PMO and the Project on this issue. Mr. Li encouraged PMO
to continue its innovative way of Project implementation, and would take the
recommendations from the PMO seriously and take action to ensure smooth
preparation, adoption, and implementation of the SAP.
4.9
Mr. Park noted the PMO's achievements in getting DPRK's letter of intention to join
the Project, preparing the TDA, and facilitating negotiation on co-operative cruises.
The two countries had held formal and informal discussions on the co-operative
cruises with good sense of co-operation and compromise. However, Mr. Park said
that no major achievements were made on this issue yet. Mr. Park hoped that the
PMO would continue to co-ordinate further discussion. He suggested that paragraph
101 in the Project Manager's report be deleted because it might cause readers to
misinterpret, and that the sentence on page 23, regarding technical problems should
be deleted.
4.10 Mr. Li reiterated that according to China's regulations based on UN Conference on
the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the management of foreign related marine
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Page 5
scientific research, co-operative cruises agreed in the Meeting are subject to the final
approval of Chinese government.
4.11 To enhance regional co-operation and jointly promote the application of marine
science and service in the conservation of the Yellow Sea, Mr. Wenxi Zhu invited the
Project to send representatives to participate in the "11th session of the Coordinating
Committee Meeting of North-East Asian Regional Global Ocean Observing System
(NEAR-GOOS)" which would be held next January in Bangkok.
4.12 Following Mr. Jiang's reply to questions on public awareness activities, project
outputs, and communication mechanisms, Mr. Jiang further stated that the deadline
for the draft final report of the TDA was 15th December 2006 and that prior to this
date, the PMO would circulate the draft to national focal points as well as other
relevant partner agencies, including the UNDP/GEF Regional Technical Advisor for
their comments.
4.13 Mr. Jiang also explained that the basin-wide results from the cruises could be used
for better understanding of marine environment in the Yellow Sea, bridging the TDA
into the SAP. The results would have long term scientific significance not only for the
Project but also for future generations.
4.14 With some modifications to paragraph 101, the Meeting accepted the Project
Manager's report. The report is attached as Annex IV to this report.
5.

INVOLVEMENT OF DPR KOREA IN THE PROJECT
6.1
Mr. Jiang reported on the progress made in involving DPRK into the Project as a full
member, referring to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/5. He explained the
background and history of this issue; the agreement made by the Second PSC
Meeting to request the PMO to make an effort to involve DPRK in the Project; and
the actions taken by the PMO with assistance from China. Mr. Jiang reported that
the PMO received on 2nd November 2006, the letter from DPRK to formally express
its participation in the Project.
6.2
Mr. Jiang informed the meeting that since the PDF-B phase, the GEF Secretariat
strongly encouraged the PMO to make an effort to involve DPRK in the Project. He
also mentioned UNDP/GEF's support to have DPRK participate in the current project.
6.3
Mr. Jiang presented some issues to be considered for the involvement of DPRK in
the Project as follows:
· How to involve DPRK in the Project;
· Financial
implications;
· Logistical arrangements; and
· Communication procedure between DPRK and PMO.
6.4
Mr. Li was pleased that DPRK had sent a formal letter of endorsement. He noted the
PSC, in its previous meetings, had instructed the PMO to make an effort to get DPRK
involved in the Project. Mr. Li expressed his deep appreciation to the Project
Manager for realising the DPRK's involvement successfully, noting that persuading
the country to participate in the Project had not been an easy task. Mr. Li then
mentioned China would like to welcome DPRK's participation in the Project and
provide its best support and services necessary to facilitate the participation.
6.5
Mr. Heung Kyeong Park was glad to hear the willingness of DPRK to join the Project.
He appreciated the efforts of the PMO to engage DPRK in the Project. Mr. Park
stated that ROK welcomed DPRK's participation in the Project in principle, and
added that the issues mentioned by Mr. Jiang in paragraph 6.3 in this report should
be clarified in advance.
6.6
Having listened to opinions from China and ROK, the Chairperson suggested
organising an informal meeting to discuss the issues raised in paragraph 6.3 as well
as the co-operative cruise issue.
6.7
The informal meeting examined the technical, legal, and logistical procedures to
include a new member to the project. Following the group's exchange of suggestions
and ideas, the informal meeting recommended that the PSC should welcome the
participation of DPRK, and prepare for DPRK's participation in the Project by taking
the opportunity of Mr. Li, NPC of China, and Mr. Jiang, Project Manager's, upcoming
visit to DPRK. The Meeting agreed with the recommendations of the informal
meeting.
6.8
The informal meeting engaged in extensive discussion on the arrangements for the
co-operative study cruises. Final resolution could not be reached, but the
informal meeting agreed that discussions would continue during the inter-
sessional period, and that the PMO would keep both countries informed of all
developments on this issue.

NGO AND PRIVATE SECTOR'S MEMBERSHIP IN PSC
7.1
Following the request from the Second PSC Meeting, Mr. Endo reported that the
PMO had conducted a survey on similar GEF-funded projects regarding NGO and
private sector membership in the PSC. He then introduced the survey results and
provided a draft guideline for granting the PSC membership to NGOs and private
entities (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/6). Mr. Endo stated that the Project,
required by the GEF, agreed during the PDF-B phase to grant the membership to
NGOs and private sectors, emphasising that the participation of those important
stakeholders would greatly contribute to the successful implementation of the Project.
7.2
Mr. Endo added that the Third Regional Working Group for Investment Component
(RWG-I) Meeting discussed this issue and agreed to present the draft guideline for
PSC's consideration, although some RWG-I members had expressed their concern
that it might be too early to grant full membership to NGOs and private sectors.
7.3
Mr. Heung Kyeong Park thanked the PMO for its excellent work in investigating the
situation of NGO and private sector membership in relevant GEF projects. Noticing
that most GEF projects did not have NGO and private entities as members, Mr. Park
thought that the PSC should invite those stakeholders as observers.
7.4
Mr. Li noted that the PMO had worked hard to get NGOs to be involved in the Project.
He supported Mr. Park's opinions.
7.5
Mr. Yang suggested that NGOs and private sectors might provide advisory services
to the PSC.
7.6
The Meeting recognised the importance of including NGOs and the private
sectors into the Project, and agreed to continue inviting these stakeholders as
observers to the PSC, but not as full members.
8.
PROPOSED WORKPLAN AND BUDGET FOR 2007 AND ONWARDS
8.1
The Chairperson invited the PMO to introduce the budget and workplan for 2007 and
onwards.
8.2
Mr. Endo presented the revised Project budget and the proposed workplan, referring
to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.3/12 and UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.3/13, respectively.
He explained major factors that were considered in the revision of the budget, which
included the new activities that were subject to the approval of the PSC and the
existing planned activities that were specified based on the agreements made by
RWGs. Mr. Endo stated that the Third RSTP Meeting discussed and agreed to
submit the proposed budget as well as the proposed workplan to the PSC for its
consideration and approval.
8.3
After some clarifications, the Meeting approved both the revised budget and the
workplan for 2007 and onwards. The approved budget and workplan are attached
as Annex V and Annex VI, respectively.

1. Introduction
1.
The implementation of the UNDP/GEF Project on "Reducing Environmental Stress in the
Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME)" since the last RSTP Meeting is
characterised by tremendous achievements and also some areas to be improved. With
remarkable efforts made by the governments in the participating countries, relevant
institutions and experts and all the project partners, and with the support from UNDP (both
GEF unit and the Country Office in Seoul), the project activities have been implemented
according to the Implementation Plan approved by the Project Steering Committee (PSC).
In the meantime, the implementation also suffered from some delays due to various
reasons.
2.
The preparation of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) has been carried out as
scheduled, and will be finalised at the end of 2006. During the preparation, necessary data
and information from the participating countries were collected according to the
requirements agreed by the Regional Working Groups (RWGs), and new findings have
been obtained to assist in identifying the regional environmental problems and priorities.
The Yellow Sea Partnership has been established with participation of UN
organisations/projects, international and local NGOs, and scientific research institutes. The
Partnership will play very important roles during the implementation of the project, and is
hoped to sustain the benefits after the completion of the project. As a first of its kind for
GEF Projects, the Regional Parliamentary Conference brought together parliament
members from participating countries to discuss marine environmental problems in the
Yellow Sea. The parliamentary organisations in the participating countries are responsible
for approval of the major management actions, such as legislation harmonisation, institution
re-arrangement and allocation of more financial resources in the protection of marine
environment and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources.
3.
During the implementation period of the past year, the project has involved a very wide
range of stakeholders in the project, such as parliament members, government officers
(both central and local governments), environmental experts (both nature science and
social science), international NGOs, national and local NGOs and school children. The
wide participation of stakeholders has largely increased scientific understand and public
awareness of the environmental problems in the Yellow Sea.
4.
While the majority of activities have been successfully implemented, the project has also
suffered some difficulties in its implementation. Due to some misunderstanding of the
approval process in the participating countries, the co-operative cruises were delayed, as
there has been no final agreement on the cruise plan. For the data and information
collection, a few contracts had delays in completion of data and information collection,
which to a large extent, affected the overall implementation of the project activities.
5.
Project implementation during 2006 has enabled the project to become well-known in the
region. The YSLME Project's success is not only limited to the results of activities
approved by the PSC, but also includes success in other initiatives in the region. It should
be noted that due to the fact that there is a general lack of communication between the
participating countries on the protection of marine environment and sustainable use of
coastal and marine resources, it is critical to establish an effective mechanism to facilitate
co-operation and co-ordination at all levels. It is equally important that the mutual
understanding and mutual trust can be established and maintained in the region to deal
with transboundary marine environment problems. The project has tried very hard to
proceed in this direction, and hopefully in the near future, the mechanism and mutual trust
will be established in the region, and sustained by all partners of the project.

2. Major
Achievements
6.
There were many outputs and outcomes produced by the project in 2006, ranging from
technical activities to capacity building and regional collaboration. The major achievements
realised by the project are described in the following sections, and a list of meetings
convened by the project in 2006 is attached as Appendix 1.
2.1
New Findings From the "Data & Information Collection Activity"
7.
The national data and information collection activity and regional synthesis reports describe
the current state of the Yellow Sea ecosystem based on the best available data that can be
accessed by the general public. Although the majority of data are not new, to-date, there
has not been a comprehensive collection, review, and interpretation of the data describing
the Yellow Sea marine ecosystem. The data collection activity and regional data synthesis
have greatly contributed to the preparation of the TDA which is a major objective and output
of the project. Specific findings from the data and information collection activity are
described in each respective component's implementation progress report in Section 3.
2.2 TDA
Preparation
8.
One of major expected outputs from the project is the preparation of a regional
transboundary diagnostic analysis. Preparation of the TDA began with the start of the
project. It is expected that the high priority marine environmental problems in the region will
be identified; the analysis of each transboundary issue will be carried out; and the root
causes of the problems will be clearly identified through a causal chain analysis.
9.
In order to prepare a scientifically and environmentally sound TDA, the Regional Working
Groups carefully reviewed the marine environmental problems in the Yellow Sea, and
agreed on the lists of data and information requirements. Data and information collection
was the major activity during the first two years of project implementation. Since the last
meeting of RSTP, most data and information covering fisheries, ecosystem, biodiversity
and pollution components were completed according to the agreement of the RWGs.
Some of the data and information reports provided historical data and information, which
clearly identified the marine environmental problems in the Yellow Sea.
10.
Regional syntheses for the fisheries, biodiversity, ecosystem and pollution components
were prepared for better understanding of the marine environmental problems in the Yellow
Sea. The requests for consultancies to prepare the regional syntheses were openly
circulated to the participating countries through the National Project Co-ordinator, and
advertised in the project homepage.
11.
With the national reports on data and information collection and the regional syntheses
prepared, a consultant, Dr. Michael Bewers, was selected based on open bidding
procedure, to prepare the TDA. The consultant visited the participating countries,
discussed various technical issues with regional experts in all components of the project.
He also participated in the meetings of the regional working groups for pollution, investment
and ecosystem.
12.
The final draft of the TDA will be prepared and submitted to the 3rd meetings of the RSTP
and PSC for consideration. With the comments and suggestions from the RSTP and PSC,
the TDA will be finalised before end of 2006.
13.
It should be noted that the delays in data and information collection have largely affected
the preparation of the TDA. Similarly, the low quality of some reports on data and
information collection also introduced a number of inconsistencies to the analyses, which
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 3
not only negatively affected the preparation of the TDA, but also caused certain problem in
identifying, scientifically and environmentally, the marine environmental problems in the
Yellow Sea.
2.3 Parliamentary
Conference
14.
The Parliamentary Conference was organised in Qingdao, China, 28-30 March 2006. The
objective of this meeting was to promote active participation of parliamentarians in
protecting the marine environment in the Yellow sea and using its marine and coastal
resources in a sustainable manner. Forty-one participants from China and Republic of
Korea attended the Conference, including 14 parliamentarians.
15.
The Conference consisted of presentations with a variety of topics, including environmental
status in the Yellow Sea, needs and requirements for protection of its environment, and
legislative as well as economic considerations for conserving marine resources in the
Yellow Sea. The Conference also organised panel discussions to address active
involvements of stakeholders such as NGOs, industries, and local communities in
conservation activities.
16.
As a result of the Conference, the participants recognised a strong need for taking action to
mitigate environmental problems in the Yellow Sea. The participants acknowledged that it
is necessary to strengthen co-operation between the two parliaments. Considering regular
meetings as an effective mechanism to build such a relationship, the meeting agreed to
organise the next conference in ROK in 2007.
17.
Introduced at the GEF Assembly, as the following excerpt indicates, the Conference
received considerable attention from the international community because of its innovative
approach and characteristics as the first meeting in GEF projects where the
parliamentarians addressed transboundary environmental issues.
"We [GEF/IW:LEARN] showed the Yellow Sea video and also displayed the
published report in the GEF/IW:LEARN stand at GEF Assembly in Cape Town
earlier this month -- and that it made an extremely powerful impression on the
ministers, members of the SADC [Southern African Development Community]
Parliamentary Forum - and Founding President of Namibia - to whom I showed
it during my subsequent visit to Namibia. All who viewed it were inspired to
replicate the process of bringing GEF IW projects together with
parliamentarians to inform and engage with them about strengthening
institutional and legal frameworks for transboundary water governance."
(Janot-Reine MENDLER de SUAREZ, Deputy Director, GEF-IWLEARN)
2.4
Local Government Officers Training Workshop
18.
The Training Workshop for Local Government Officers was organised in Jeju, ROK, 25-27
September 2006 with the theme of "Coastal Development vs. Protection of Marine
Environment." The objective of this workshop was to familiarise the officials with concept
and tools to make rational decisions for both development and conservation. A total of 16
participants attended the workshop from the Yellow Sea's coastal provinces and cities: 7
officials from China and 9 officials from ROK.
19.
The workshop focused on Multi-Attribute Decision Analysis as an approach to integrate
various relevant issues into decision-making process and to deal with conflicting objectives.
Through lectures, computer exercise, and group work, the participants obtained practical
skills to design development plans in harmony with the environment and to solve conflicts
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 4
among relevant stakeholders. The lecture materials will be published and available online
for public use.
20.
According to the results of the questionnaire survey conducted at the end of the workshop,
most participants felt that the information which the workshop provided were useful, and
expressed the willingness to use the techniques in practice. Meanwhile, the survey
revealed the needs for the next training workshop that will deal with marine environmental
legislation and enforcement issues. The participants felt that the next workshop should
focus on management aspects, providing practical techniques and examples.
2.5 Yellow
Sea
Partnership
21.
The Yellow Sea Partnership (YSP) was established to: (i) facilitate co-operation and co-
ordination among various organisations for environmental conservation in the Yellow Sea;
and (ii) maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of each conservation activity through
close communication and co-ordination.
22.
Member organisations or Partners communicate and collaborate actively by having regular
meetings, developing common strategies, and planning and implementing activities jointly
for environmental conservation and public awareness. Those joint activities include
organising conferences and workshops, developing educational materials, and
disseminating information through the website. As one of such activities, the YSP
organises a session and an exhibition at the East Asian Sea Congress, Haikou, China, 12-
16 December 2006.
23.
The YSP is open to any interested parties, including government agencies, NGOs, private
entities, and international organisations and projects. Currently, 17 organisations are the

3.1.1 Data
Collection
25.
The activities to collect national fisheries data and information from China and Republic of
Korea were initially reviewed at the 2nd RWG-F1. Since then, the draft final reports and data
have been submitted, and these data are being used for the regional synthesis and TDA.
26.
The contractors for the national data collection activity were the Yellow Sea Fisheries
Research Institute (China) and the West Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the National
Fisheries Research & Development Institute - NFRDI (Republic of Korea).
27. A representative of each
contracted institute presented
the final results to the 3rd RWG-
F Meeting (Weihai, China). The
reports highlighted fisheries
status and trends, and included
some summary analyses on the
collected data and information.
Basically, some critical elements
causing environmental changes
in the Yellow Sea were
identified.
28. The 3rd RWG-F meeting
discussed the information

reports, and the major
agreements included the following: i) The need to follow the common format of the report
agreed during previous meetings of the RWG-F and to add more information and analysis
to the final report; ii) It was suggested and agreed that the data and analysis of habitats of
mariculture should be added in the national report of China, to meet the agreement of the
RWG-F; and iii) The national reports should be revised according to the comments of the
regional working group, and submitted to PMO for publication. 2

COUNTRY
NATIONAL ISSUE
Over-exploitation of target species and climate change has caused a shifting
in dominant species with the food-web shifting downwards.
Insufficient monitoring and lack of scientific-based knowledge on status of
stocks.
Insufficient management and control of fisheries activities.
CHINA
Intensive use of natural coastal habitats and ecosystems for mariculture,
exceeding the carrying capacity and causing environmental degradation,
disease outbreaks and reduced growth rates.
Poor regional coordination, communication and collaboration between
fishermen and government.
Insufficient information and environmental impact assessments for
ecosystem-based management.
Local production of farmed animals and seaweeds is not included in total
farmed figure when they are sold directly. It is estimated that such production
comprises an additional 10-30% to the total, depending upon the species.
Data on aquaculture area only include licensed farms until 1997, but from
ROK
1998 the annual aquaculture areas include all from the licensed, permitted
and notified farms.
Data on area of culture method include only licensed farms before 1998 and
during the period 1998-2004 the data on culture method include all from
licensed, permitted or notified farms.
3.1.2 Regional Data Synthesis
29.
The results from the activity to collect national fisheries data and information from China
and Republic of Korea were compiled to create a regional synthesis. This work was carried
out from June to September 2006. The results of the regional synthesis will contribute to
the Fisheries Chapter of the TDA.
30.
A consultant from Pukyong National University, ROK, was contracted to prepare the
regional synthesis. During the 3rd RWG-F meeting the consultant presented his findings,
and highlighted the "Major Issues from Synthesis of Data and Information from China and
the Republic of Korea" as specified in the following table.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 7
Table 2. New findings for fisheries issues.
ITEM
MAJOR ISSUE
Heavy exploitation of capture fisheries.
Stable fishing effort and increasingly level of fisheries.
FISHERIES
High values of Catch per unit of effort (CPUE) and the
importance to conduct a fisheries stock assessment.
Differences in growth parameters per analysed species and
the importance to improve age estimation techniques.
Differences in reproduction and spawning characteristics for
some species and the importance to develop an "index of
BIOLOGICAL AND
recruitment for commercially important species".
ECONOMICAL DATA
Basic information on migration and distribution of commercial
species.
Limited information on bottom trawls survey and the
importance of joint-cruises.
Steadily increase of aquaculture production
Increasing rate of marine areas for aquaculture purposes
MARICULTURE
Decreasing rate of production per unit area e.g. shellfish and
seaweeds.
Only general descriptions have been provided without the
detailed analyses required for long-term data interpretation.
SOCIO ECONOMICS
There is a need to collect long-term data on fisheries
economics as well as to include expertise on economic data
analysis in future studies.
31.
The Regional Synthesis identified major findings such as:
Fishing effort: The total registered number of powered fishing vessels has been kept
on a somewhat constant level since the 1990s, but trends in gross tonnages and KW
(kilowatt) showed increases during the study period. This implies that the fishing
power and/or fishing efficiency have significantly improved taking into account recent
catch levels.1
Aquaculture area: The
total aquaculture area in
the Yellow Sea used by
the two countries
increased significantly
from 462,000 ha in 1986
to 1.1 million ha in 2004,
with China accounting
for approximately 95%
of the total increase. In
terms of the marine

Annex IV
Page 8
continuous increase from 359,000 ha in 1986 to 760,000 ha in 2004. This would
appear to imply that there has been significantly increased impact on marine
environments as a result of the growth in mariculture facilities in the coastal areas of
the region.
Interaction between marine farmed production and marine farmed area: In the
Yellow Sea, yearly production
depended heavily on the shellfish
production. Both the total production
of shellfish and the associated
farmed area for shellfish production
have increased gradually, although
the production per unit area reveals
a decreasing trend from 14.1 MT/ha
in 2000 to 10.5 MT/ha in 2004. For
seaweed, annual production per
area also showed a downward trend
from 22.0 MT/ha in 2000 to 17.1
MT/ha in 2004. This suggests that
production per unit area could not

expanded in the future.1
32. The
3rd RWG-F meeting agreed that: i) Final versions of the national and regional reports
should be concise and should use the supporting tables placed as Annexes; and, ii)
Reports should include the data and information provided during the presentations of the
national reports and should follow the structure of data tables agreed during the 2nd RWG-
F.
3.1.3 Stock Assessment
33.
A report on existing stock assessment methods and suggestions for a strategy for joint-
regional stock assessment was carried out from June to September 2006. The results of
the regional synthesis are expected to be an integral part of the Fisheries Chapter of the
TDA.
34.
A consultant from the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute (China) was contracted to
develop this activity. During the 3rd RWG-F Meeting, the consultant presented his report
highlighting the relevant findings and explained the proposed methodology towards a Joint-
Regional Fisheries Stock Assessment in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem.
35.
The report includes: i) A comprehensive report on current methods of assessing fisheries
stocks; ii) A list of the sources of data and information collected throughout the report; iii) A
list of major issues and priorities that need to be addressed in the Yellow Sea region; and
iv) A suggested methodology to develop a series of joint-regional stock assessment in the
Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem.
36.
Finally, the suggested methodology for the "Joint-regional Fisheries Stock Assessment
Programme" considered the following:
· Implementation of a collection system of accurate catch and effort and biological
data;
1 From Fisheries Regional Synthesis Report, by Lee Jang-Uk, 2006.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 9
· Selection of a suitable model from the existing classical mathematical models for
reiterative use in fisheries stock assessment in the YS region;
· Expert consultation towards the development of new models based on the
classical/new models used in other regions.
· Implementation of a collaborative research programme towards a joint-prediction
system of stock size of commercially important species in the region.
· Implementation of a joint-scientific survey programme considering variables such as
scope, frequency, sampling strategies, survey design, etc.
37. The
3rd RWG-F meeting agreed to submit to the PSC a request to organize a workshop on
stock assessment and carrying capacity and to explore the possibility to conduct an "expert
consultation" that could advise the RWG on stock assessment issues and carrying capacity
issues.
3.1.4 Carrying Capacity
38.
Important discussions on this issue took place during the 2nd RWG-F where the "lack of
knowledge of carrying capacity" was pointed out as one of the major problems when
addressing fisheries issues. The 1st RSTP
agreed that the focus of carrying capacity
assessment will be on fisheries resources
proposing that the goal could be approached
in two ways: i) population dynamics
approach; and, ii) lower trophic productivity
higher trophic level model (possibly
ECOPATH) approach. Likewise, the 2nd PSC
agreed that one of the major responsibilities
in regards to carrying capacity issues should
be "to provide guidance to perform re-
iterative series of regional analyses of
carrying capacity as well as
recommendations for regional carrying Figure 5. Carrying capacity-type system
(Troell and Norberg 1998)1.
capacity determination".1
39.
Following the recommendations from these meetings, the TOR to conduct this consultancy
was prepared by the PMO. This task was advertised early in 2006, but all proponents
eventually withdrew their bids. Therefore, the PMO presented at the 3rd RWG-F an
overview of the current methodologies being used worldwide to determine carrying
capacity. This included a summary of approaches towards carrying capacity and
assimilative capacity studies of coastal waters for specific aquaculture practices. The
following steps for the implementation of carrying capacity and assimilative capacity were
suggested:
i) Scoping Study;
ii) Review of Regulation and Monitoring of Aquaculture; and,
iii) Implementation of a Demonstration site.
40.
Finally, the "Implementation of a Demonstration Site" considered major issues suggested to
be addressed towards the identification and implementation of a demo site(s) in the YSLME
region in order to undertake a carrying capacity or an assimilative capacity approach. The
set up for this activity will demand all the theoretical considerations from previous steps.

This activity aims to contribute to further desired REGIONAL TARGETS e.g. standards,
maximum yield per given area, etc.
41. The
3rd RWG-F extensively discussed carrying capacity issues and finally agreed on the
following: i) The RWG-F will tackle carrying capacity issues from the fisheries and
mariculture perspectives separately; ii) It will be more appropriate that the initial effort
should focus on carrying capacity for mariculture first since these experiences could be
used for fisheries in the future; and iii) There is a need for an "expert consultation" that
could provide a proposal to approach other major carrying capacity issues in future.
3.1.5 Sustainable
Mariculture
42.
The results from the review of the existing issues affecting the sustainability of mariculture
in the YSLME region were compiled to suggest a Joint Programme on Sustainable
Mariculture. This work was carried out from February to September 2006. The results from
this activity aim to contribute to the Fisheries Chapter of the TDA.
43.
A consultant from Pusan National University, ROK, was contracted to prepare a detailed
proposal for a "Joint Applied Research Programme for Sustainable Mariculture" as well as a
"Set of Technical Guidelines with a Detailed Workplan for Training Courses on Sustainable
Mariculture and Diseases, Diagnosis and Control Techniques."
44.
During the 3rd RWG-F Meeting, the consultant presented his findings highlighting the
regional mariculture status and trends of importance, and suggested a Joint Programme on
Sustainable Mariculture.
45.
The following table shows the major issues proposed to be considered in the development
of a Joint-Regional Applied Research Programme for Sustainable Mariculture.

46. The
3rd RWG-F suggested that the report should focus on sustainable issues as a whole
and not only on environmental issues. Therefore, there was a need to include in the report
environmental, social and economic issues to support the proposed guidelines. The
consultant in charge of this task agreed to produce a revised report addressing the
comments and suggestion duly provided by the meeting. He also noted that bio-security
issues also will be considered.
3.1.6 Regional Guidelines for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture
47.
According to the overall workplan, the Project has reached the beginning of its second
major phase, that is, to develop the Strategic Action Programme (SAP). A three-step
approach was proposed at the 3rd RWG-F: a) management issues; b) regional targets of
the management activities; and, c) management actions, where activities need to be
recommended for each step. The following table describes the major issues discussed at
the 3rd RWG-F.
48. The
3rd RWG-F meeting discussed the activities proposed by the PMO and reached the
following agreements: i) To conduct an "expert consultation" on carrying capacity issues; ii)
To include carrying capacity for mariculture within the scope of "sustainable mariculture"
approach; ii) To further investigate the feasibility to prepare a regional agreement on
fisheries.
49.
The meeting noted the existence of the fishery agreement between China and ROK, and
considered that it would be more beneficial if RSTP and PSC may consider the possibility
to develop a regional agreement on the protection of the Yellow Sea marine environment.
3.2 Biodiversity
Component
3.2.1 Data and information status, trends and new findings
50.
The activities to collect national biodiversity data and information from China and Republic
of Korea were scheduled for implementation from August 2005 to March 2006. Progress
reports and data collected-to-date were presented at the 2nd RWG-B Meeting (9-12
November 2005, Jeju, Republic of Korea).
51.
The contractors for the national data collection activity were the First Institute of
Oceanography (China) and National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (ROK).
The reports highlighted biodiversity status and trends of particular note, and included some
summary analyses on the collected data and information.
52. The
3rd RWG-B agreed to delete the term "Exotic Species" and use the term "Introduced
Species" instead. This group of species has been agreed to be 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.
53.
The meeting also agreed that for "Endemic Species" the scope of analysis should focus on
4 species for China and 3 species for ROK. Likewise, the meeting also agreed that "IUCN
Red List" for vulnerable species will be the reference to be consulted. In the case of China,
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 12
they will use IUCN Red List and additionally consider a national list of vulnerable species,
plus additional vulnerable species identified by Chinese scientists.
54.
The RWG-B suggested two activities to be implemented in the future: 1) coastal survey;
and 2) MPA Workshop. These activities are largely dependent on the results of the SAP
Consultation Meeting and what targets and actions would be decided from the Meeting.
Therefore, these activities may be reconsidered following the SAP Consultation results.
3.2.2 Regional data and information synthesis
55.
The results from the activities to collect national biodiversity data and information from
China and Republic of Korea were compiled to create a regional synthesis. This work was
carried out from February to September 2006. The results of the regional synthesis
contributed to the Biodiversity section of the TDA. Due to serious delay in receiving the
relevant national data and information report, the quality of the regional synthesis was
largely affected as the data and information from ROK was not included in the regional
synthesis.
56.
Wetlands International - China was contracted to prepare the regional synthesis. During the
3rd RWG-B Meeting, the representative of Wetlands International presented the results-to-
date, highlighted the regional status and trends of importance, and showed the biodiversity
data gaps. There was a mention on the Biodiversity Conservation Issues and Actions for
China and ROK and the `major gaps of the information" found 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.

These problems are caused by many factors such as global climate change, inadequate
application of legislation, coastal zone development, pollution, and increased fishing
activities, amongst others.
3.3.2 Other Activities of the Ecosystem Component
60.
The group also agreed on activities to implement next year. Ecosystem monitoring and
carrying capacity determination activities overlap with other components and are described
in more detail in Section 3.6.
3.4 Pollution
Component
3.4.1 Pollution National Data & Information Collection and Regional Data Synthesis
61. 3.4.1.1 The Pollution Component also completed the "National Data & Information
Collection" activity and a regional synthesis of the data and information. NMEMC and SSI
representatives presented the national results at the 3rd RWG-P Meeting, while the regional
consultant from Pukyong National University, ROK, presented the draft regional synthesis.
The data showed:
· A gradual increase in eutrophic level in recent years;
· Four eutrophic spots including the Bohai Bay, Changjiang River estuary, Yalu River
estuary, and Han River estuary;

3.4.4 Expert Technical Workshop on Pollutant Fate and Transport
65.
A workshop on pollutant fate and transport was organized in Dalian, China, from 31st
August to 2nd September with the following objectives:
· Review the pollution data and information collected from China and ROK.
· Discuss and compare the available data, current understanding, and known
procedures to analyse fate and transport of pollutants.
· Based on current understanding, consider and recommend some necessary actions
for the Strategic Action Programme.
66.
Participants from research institutes and universities in China and ROK, and UNEP
NOWPAP gave oral presentations about various aspects of pollution in the Yellow Sea:
current understanding, historical trends, sources of pollutant inputs, monitoring activities,
pollutant investigation methods, modelling nutrient cycles, calculating nutrient budgets.
67.
Based on the current understanding of pollutants in the Yellow Sea, the workshop gave
some recommendations to mitigate pollution, which include, inter alia: better enforcement of
regulations, targeting areas of outlet discharge, enhancing public awareness and sensitivity
to pollution as a problem.
3.5 Investment
Component
3.5.1 Youth
Programme
68.
The Youth Programme successfully provided middle school and high school students in
ROK with opportunities to deepen their understanding of environmental issues in the Yellow
Sea through a variety of instructional approaches.
69.
Two three-day programmes were organised in September and October 2006 with the
following activities: lecture, field study, and discussion and summary. During the field
study, the participants visited the Yellow Sea's coastal area to familiarise themselves with
its environment through observation and hands-on experiences.
70.
Various organisations and individuals
co-operated to design, prepare, and
implement the projects. Those
collaborators included a local
environmental NGO (Korean Network
for Coastal Conservation; People for
Green World), government-affiliated
agencies (Korea National Park of
Byeonsan-Bando; Korea Ocean
Research and Development Institute),
and local community organisations.
71. As a result of the projects, the
participants understood the present

ways to address the problems, and
created an action plan to implement countermeasures. The Programme helped the youth
think and find what they could do themselves to protect the environment.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV

72.
The Project will organise a similar programme in China in 2007, following the guidelines
suggested by the 3rd RWG-I Meeting. (For details of the guidelines, please see Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-I.3/3).
3.5.2 Databases
73.
To facilitate the DIM strategy, China-Korea Joint Ocean Research Centre (CKJORC) was
contracted to construct a regional GIS and meta databases. It is expected that the system
would enable users to store, retrieve, analyse, and present data collected under the
project's Regional Working Groups (RWGs) and other contractors. It would also greatly
contribute to the development of TDA and SAP through metadata query, Yellow Sea data
query, and map-based query. As the databases become fully operational, the public will be
able to access the databases through Internet.
74.
The prototype application of the system was designed and built with Microsoft Visual
Studio.NET 2003, ESRI ArcIMS 9.0, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The system
provides:
· a digital base GIS map with 1:250,000 World Vector Shoreline (WVS),
administrative boundary units, and rivers;
· a centralised database to manage the Project data including fisheries, biodiversity,
ecosystem, pollution, and other environmental data;
· a meta database for not only the Project data but also world ocean scientific data to
promote scientific information sharing and accessing; and
· an ArcIMS-based Web server to provide powerful functions for dynamic and
effective input, query, and display of the Yellow Sea environmental data in the
databases.
3.5.3 National Co-ordination and Implementation
75.
During the 3rd RWG-I Meeting, National Project Co-ordinators (NPC) of China and Republic
of Korea presented the progress report on national co-ordination in each country.
76.
In China, co-ordination with relevant government agencies was made for co-operative
cruise, small grants programme, data and information collection, and involvement of
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the Project.
77.
In ROK, co-ordination was made for major activities including those of Inter-Ministerial Co-
ordinating Committee (IMCC), co-operative cruise, data and information collection activity,
and parliamentary conference.
78.
NPC of ROK reported that there were difficulties in nominating Korean members to the
RWG meetings due to a lack of incentives. The NPC suggested implementing measures to
address this issue at both national and institutional level. This report discusses more on
this issue in Section 7.
79.
To strengthen national co-ordination functions, as discussed at the 3rd RWG-I Meeting, the
inter-ministry committees and the national working groups should involve more
stakeholders such as local governments, local communities, and NGOs, following the
requirements of GEF.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 18
3.5.4 Environmental
Valuation
80.
It is expected that environmental valuation work would contribute to the development of the
regional SAP and the National Yellow Sea Action Plans (NYSAPs).
81.
Consultants from School of Economics of
the Ocean University of China were
contracted to prepare a report which
describes a procedure for valuing
ecosystem services in the Yellow Sea,
focusing on mariculture. A preliminary
result with case studies presented
various findings, including the impacts of
mariculture on marine ecosystem
services and the possible methods to
measure those impacts.
82.
While the consultants refine the draft
report, the PMO, in consultation with the
RWG-I, will explore what topics and/or
requirements should be discussed in the Figure 12. Environmental valuation: economics of
regional valuation guideline as well as marine protection.
how the findings of the mariculture study
could be used for the guideline.
3.5.5 Governance
Analysis
83.
To understand the underlying root causes of the Yellow Sea's environmental problems,
Governance Analysis studies were conducted for China and Republic of Korea,
respectively. Consultants from the Korea Maritime Institute conducted the analysis for ROK,
and consultants from the Law School of Ocean University of China conducted the analysis
for China. Both studies consisted of three analytical works: stakeholder analysis,
institutional analysis, and legal/policy analysis. The final reports will be published after
improvements are made based on comments from the 3rd RWG-I Meeting.
84.
Based on the analysis, national Governance Analysis studies suggest recommendations to
address identified environmental problems in the Yellow Sea. Those recommendations
include the following:
China
· To promote co-operation among China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK), and Republic of Korea (ROK), a regional committee with representatives from
those three countries should be established. It is expected that this committee would
greatly contribute to addressing transboundary issues in the Yellow Sea.
· More information about marine and coastal environmental management should be
provided to the public, and more stakeholders should be involved in the decision-
making to secure more transparent and high-quality management.
· A committee that deals with important marine affairs and co-ordinates relevant
administrative departments should be established in order to prevent or solve conflicts
among them.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 19
· To reduce illegal waste discharge, penalties for violators should be strengthened;
currently, punitive fines are too low to prevent illegal acts.
· Laws and regulations should be regularly reviewed to reflect changing environments
and requirements; in addition, those laws and regulations should be more specific and
easy to implement.
Republic of Korea
· A "Committee for the Coastal Ecosystem-based Management" should be established to
ensure better co-ordination between the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries which
is in charge of marine environment and the Ministry of Environment which is in charge
of terrestrial environment.
· To enhance the effectiveness of marine protection activities, more stakeholders'
participation and partnership should be sought by strengthening partnership
programmes such as "Marine Debris Monitoring Programme" and "Honor Fishing
Surveillance Programme."
· The Total Allowable Catch (TAC) system should be strengthened to restore fish stocks
by setting up the TAC lower than the Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) and by
enforcing tighter controls on illegal fishing.
· "Third Comprehensive Marine Environment Preservation Plan for 2006-2010" should
particularly address the prevention of land-based pollution and the conservation of
marine living and non-living resources.
85.
With recognition of the its significance to TDA and SAP development, the 3rd RWG-I
meeting agreed to conduct a regional governance analysis as a new activity under the
RWG-I, and to prepare an outline of possible contents for the analysis. Mr. Suh-Yong
Chung, RWG-I member, prepared the outline, and it will be presented to the 3rd RSTP
Meeting for consideration.
3.5.6 Small Grants Programme
86.
The Small Grants Programme was established to invite more participation and build the
capacities of stakeholders. Specifically, the Programme in 2006 focused on encouraging
and educating local communities of the Yellow Sea's coastal area in order to facilitate their
marine conservation activities.
87.
After an extensive review by an external independent panel with three regional experts, the
six projects, as mentioned below, were selected as recipients (out of total 23 projects
proposed: 19 proposals from China, 4 proposals from Republic of Korea).

Cross component issues
91.
The "ecosystem-based management" approach to implementing the project in a holistic
way cannot escape cross-component issues and overlaps between the project
components. Since the beginning of the project, there has been continuing dialogue
between the components on how to implement cross-component activities. In 2006, the
following topics and activities mentioned by the RWGs need to reach agreement by the
RSTP on how they should be addressed in 2007:
· Pollution regional targets based on ecosystem productivity values;
· Scope of activity to develop ecosystem monitoring guidelines;
· Collaboration between RWG-E and RWG-F on the carrying capacity activity; and
· Publication of national data reports and regional synthesis report.
3.6.1 Pollution Regional Targets Based on Ecosystem Productivity Values
92.
At the 3rd RWG-P Meeting, members decided that:
"...the regional target for eutrophication will depend on the situation of primary
productivity in the Yellow Sea, which is the responsibility of the Ecosystem
Component. A discussion session will be organised with experts from the
Ecosystem and Pollution Components so that the regional targets may be
identified."9
*** The Chairpersons of RWG-P and RWG-E are requested to meet
during the 3rd RSTP Meeting to discuss what information is
currently available to meet the requests, and to agree on how to
exchange the required information. ***
3.6.2 Scope of Activity to Develop Ecosystem Monitoring Guidelines
93. During
the
3rd RWG-E Meeting, members discussed the scope of this activity and how it
should be implemented. As the ecosystem encompasses all the physical, chemical and
biological components, there is no clear boundary on the variables to be included in these
guidelines. A regional pollution monitoring guidelines is being finalized; thus, the
ecosystem monitoring guidelines should not repeat what is in the pollution monitoring
guidelines, although it might borrow material from there.
94.
Given the current state of affairs, the RWG-E agreed that:
the RSTP "...should consider the strategic implementation of this activity, and
make a decision on the scope of work."10
*** The RSTP is requested to consider this cross-component
activity, and provide guidance on the scope of this activity,
specifically the variables to be monitored, and the timeline for
implementation. ***

3.6.3 Collaboration Between RWG-E and RWG-F on the Carrying Capacity Activity
95.
Since the 1st RSTP Meeting in July 2005, panel members have been deliberating on the
carrying capacity activity.
96. The
1st RSTP Meeting concluded that:
"The focus of carrying capacity assessment will be on fisheries resources,
namely the highest possible fish biomass in the Yellow Sea from surveys, with
the output from Ecosystem Component's primary and secondary production
assessment serving as input for the estimation of carrying capacity in the
Fisheries Component. The group reported that it would pursue the goal in two
ways: 1) population dynamics approach; and 2) lower trophic productivity-higher
trophic level model (possibly ECOPATH) approach."11
97. The
3rd RWG-E Meeting considered that carrying capacity from the RWG-E's point of view
should provide basin-scale estimation of production, and that the results might be useful for
higher trophic level productivity estimation and also identify areas that management could
target to maintain acceptable productivity levels. Understanding carrying capacity could
address the energy transfer efficiency of the ecosystem to predict productivity and annual
production that can support higher trophic levels in the Yellow Sea.
98. The
3rd RWG-F Meeting decided that "carrying capacity" should be tackled separately from
the fisheries and mariculture perspectives. It would be more appropriate that the initial
effort should focus on carrying capacity for mariculture since these experiences could be
used for fisheries in the future. An "expert consultation" was proposed to be held to provide
a proposal to approach other major carrying capacity issues in future.
3.6.4 Publication of National Data Reports and Regional Synthesis Report
99.
As the national data and information collection reports are the Project's first outputs and
one of the most important basis on which many remaining Project's outputs depend, it was
agreed by all RWGs that these reports, as well as the regional synthesis reports and
Governance Analysis reports should be published. The third round of RWG meetings had
some outstanding issues for the RSTP to consider, before the reports are published.
(i) Physical oceanography data was presented by China at the 3rd RWG-E Meeting. It
was suggested that this very useful information should be published. *** The RSTP
should consider any disadvantages to publishing this data, and decide whether
physical oceanography data should be published with the China national report.
***
(ii) The RWG-P requested the RSTP to review and recommend details for the
publication of the reports, particularly whether English editing should be
included, and how/who should do the editing. English editing of reports prior to
publication applies to all reports that will be published as outputs of the project, and the
RSTP should consider this criterion for publication of similar reports from other
components, as well as the Governance Analysis and Environmental Valuation reports.
(iii) The RWG-B could not agree on whether the national and regional data reports should
be published separately or as one volume by component. The RWG-B also had a
11 From 1st RSTP Meeting report, paragraph 4.3.8.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3

difference in opinion on who should be responsible for editing the reports. The RSTP
is requested to settle this matter.
3.7
Co-operative Study Cruises
100. The co-operative cruises in 2006 were not able to be implemented, despite tremendous
efforts of both participating countries and the PMO. The basic facts are provided hereafter
according to the timeline of project approval and implementation.
(i)
May 2000. Project containing cruises as one activity was approved by the GEF
Council. There were 6 co-operative cruises planned and approved to be
implemented under the project.
It should be noted that according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, marine
scientific research in the exclusive economic zone and on the continental shelf shall be
conducted with the consent of the coastal state, with application submitted to the
coastal states 6 months before the marine scientific research (MSR) for approval. The
GEF projects which plan to have co-operative cruise of MSR nature, should follow the
procedure defined by the Convention.
(ii)
23 July 2002, and 8 August 2002. Project and cruises approved by the
governments of ROK and China with original planning, i.e. 6 cruises.
(iii)
3-5 March 2005, the Second Regional Technical Meeting, Ansan, ROK.
Considering the increase in oil price and other costs, the budget allocated for 6
cruises can only support 2-3 cruises. The meeting recommended to the PSC to
reduce number of cruises to 2-3.
The Project Manager provided cost estimation of the cruises to the meeting.
(iv)
7-8 March 2005, 1st meeting of the Project Steering Committee, Seoul, ROK. It
was agreed that 2 cruises should be organised in one year.
The Chinese delegation indicated that there is a need for the Chinese government to
approve the cruise according to UNCLOS, and associated internal regulation, with
detailed transects and observation stations shown to several relevant government
agencies.
(v)
4-6 July 2005, 1st Meeting of the Regional Scientific and Technical Panel,
Dalian, China. The meeting agreed to organise the cruises as following:
1st cruise (winter 4-25 January 2006); and
2nd cruise (spring April or May 2006).
The meeting agreed on the observation transects and stations and calculated the total
working days for the cruises. The cruises will include fisheries, pollution and ecosystem
components.
(vi)
17-18 October 2005, 1st Technical Meeting for the Co-operative Cruise,
Qingdao, China. The observation transects and stations were re-considered under
request of the Korean experts. The meeting reached the following agreements:
1st cruise (winter 4-25 January 2006), with 50 stations and 21 working days;
2nd cruise (spring May 2006), with 71 stations.
It was agreed to use the research vessel, "Bei Dou," and carry out survey of fisheries,
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 24
pollution and ecosystem components. The Chinese experts indicated again the
agreement is not a final one, which should be approved by the Chinese government
according to the established procedure.
(vii)
1 December 2005, the Project Manager received a phone call from the assistant of
the NPC, China, and was informed that the government of China did not approve the
fisheries component to be included in the cruise.
The Project Manager tried every possible way to persuade the Chinese government, but
with no success.
(viii) 15-17 December 2005 2nd Meeting of RSTP, Kunming, China.
During the meeting, the NPC discussed with the Chairperson of the Regional Fisheries
Working Group, the impacts of the absence of the Fisheries Component in the cruise,
and they agreed to have another try to persuade the relevant agency to approve the
cruise after the meeting. Based on this agreement, the Chinese delegate stated that:
"due to late submission of the application for the co-operative study cruise, the
approval process within the country has not been completed yet.""
(ix)
29 March 2006, NPCs-Project Manager Meeting, Qingdao, China.
In late January and beginning of February 2006, it was clear that inclusion of fisheries
component would be impossible for the winter cruise. The Project Manager informed
the Korean NPC informally, and the Korean side was not in an agreement to have the
cruise without the Fisheries Component.
The Project Manager discussed with several key Korean experts on this issue, trying to
persuade them to organise the cruise without the Fisheries Component, as the approval
would take a very long time, if not impossible.
Taking the opportunity that both NPCs attended the Parliamentary Conference of the
Project, a meeting was organised during the conference, and both NPCs felt that even
though the absence of the Fisheries Component would deem the cruise to have less
scientific meaning, it would still be better to organise the cruise.
(x)
11 May 2006, Meeting with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT),
ROK, Seoul, ROK.
In order to obtain formal agreement from the Focal Ministry of the project, a meeting
was organised in MOFAT with participation of officers from MOMAF. The Project
Manager provided justifications for the cruise, and got preliminary agreement to attend
the special meeting of the PSC.
(xi)
25 April 2006, Special Meeting of PSC, Qingdao, China.
Before the formal meeting started, an informal dinner meeting was organised with
participation of both delegations. During the meeting, both sides frankly exchanged
views about the cruise, and understood the positions of each other.
The Special Meeting went very well, and agreed to have the cruise without the
Fisheries Component. It was agreed that data and sample sharing (as shown in the
cruise plan) should be included in the application. It was clarified and understood that,
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 25
with approval of the application as a whole, the data and sample can be shared
according to the sharing plan listed in the approved application. The meeting also
agreed to have a technical meeting to work out the technical details of data and sample
sharing plan.
(xii) 26-27 April 2006, Second Technical meeting for the Co-operative Cruise,
Qingdao, China.
During the technical meeting, there was no agreement reached for the sample sharing,
although it was agreed that all the data from the cruise will be fully shared.
Several options were proposed by the Project Manager to persuade both sides to
compromise, but there was no success.
(xiii) 22 May 2006, Project Manager visited Beijing, China.
In order to break the impasse in the negotiations, The Project Manager visited China
with several options, and one proposal from ROK.
It should be noted that the NPC of China has tried very hard to get agreement from
relevant agencies within the countries, including the military. There were 3 informal
consultations organised to get the agreement.
During the visit, there were several meetings with NPC and relevant Chinese experts,
and questions on the location of the observation stations, CTD data sharing, etc, had
become serious issues for discussion and explanation.
In the end, there was an overall agreement, to be submitted for approval.
(xiv) 8 August 2006, final result of approval from China.
The Project Manager received a phone call from NPC China on 8 August 2006, and
was informed that the final approval had been obtained with decision to remove 13
stations from the plan.
The Project Manager discussed with both sides trying to find a compromise, but was
unsuccessful. The cruise was to be postponed again.
101. General Notes on this matter:
According to the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Management of
Foreign-related Marine Scientific Research, "Any marine scientific research activities
conducted by the foreign side alone or in cooperation with the Chinese side shall be subject to
approval from the competent authority for marine affairs or from the State Council through the
competent authority for marine affairs and shall comply with the relevant laws and statutes of
the People's Republic of China." "For marine scientific research activities to be conducted
jointly by the foreign and the Chinese sides, the Chinese side shall, according to the relevant
regulations, be responsible for applying to the competent authority for marine affairs in writing
for approval six months prior to the scheduled commencement of such activities and shall
attach to their application a research plan and other relevant illustrative materials.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 26
As for China, any agreement on the co-operative cruise reached at meetings should not be
regarded as the final commitment of the government before the application is submitted and
the approval given according to the above mentioned Regulation.
3.8
Involvement of DPR Korea in the Project
102. At the last meeting in Kunming, China, 19-20 December 2005, the delegation from DPR
Korea expressed a strong interest in formally participating in the project as a full member.
Communications between DPR Korea and PMO have continued to exchange views on the
relevant matters. There were two meeting organised during the inter-sessional period:
Meeting in Qingdao, 27 April 2006
103. Taking the opportunity of the 2nd Technical Meeting for the Co-operative Cruises organised
in Qingdao, and a DPR Korean delegation visiting the First Institute of Oceanography, a
meeting to discuss potential participation of the country in the project was organised in
Qingdao, 27 April 2006. The meeting was attended by Mr. JANG Hyon and Mr. LI Jong
Chol, from the State Hydrometeorological Administration, DPR Korea, Mr. Wenxi Zhu and
Mr. Wen Quan from State Oceanic Administration, China and the Project Manager.
104. The experts from DPR Korea expressed again their interest to participate in the project. A
question was raised regarding the communication between DPR Korea and PMO. It was
suggested that a project office should be established, preferably in Dalian, China to
facilitate smooth communication for the project matters. The Project Manager indicated the
difficulties in establishing a formal UN office in a participating country, and suggested to
establish a "virtual office" in China, with assistance of the State Oceanic Administration.
The venue of the office would be decided after consultation with the National Project Co-
ordinator of China to this project.
105. The experts understood the situation, and agreed to inform their government on the
relevant arrangement proposed by the Project Manager.
Meeting in Dalian, 1 September 2006
106. For the follow-up from the previous meeting, the Project Manager proposed another
meeting during the 3rd meeting of the Regional Working Group for the Pollution component.
The meeting was attended by Mr. Nam Chol, Director, International Co-operation
Department, State Hydrometeorologic Administration (SHMA), his colleague and the
Project Manager. During the meeting, Mr. Nam expressed two concerns: (i) communication
between DPR Korea and the PMO; and (ii) meeting venues. The Project Manager clarified
the situation. As a follow-up action, an e-mail was sent to Mr. Ko Il Hun, Administrator,
State Hydrometeorological Administration (SHMA), Pyongyang, DPR of Korea to explain
the clarifications in writing.
107. Formal Endorsement Letter was received at the PMO on 2 November 2006.
108. The Project Manager would like to express appreciation to the National Project Co-
ordinator of China and his staff for their support in communicating with colleagues in DPR
Korea.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3

Financial Report
109. Booking of the expenditure report is on a cash basis and mainly by IMPREST data and
BRIO report. The project uses a fiscal year of financial period and the November and
December 2006 expenditure amounts are estimated by each component.
110. Since we have operated the IMPREST system for both US Dollar and Korean Won
accounts of our project, it was basically useful for project implementation.
111. One of the difficulties was to review the BRIO report which included incorrectly data input
and checking the payment from out of IMPREST. The action to solve this problem is
necessary.
112. The expenditure report is attached as Appendix II.
4.
Report on the Project Management Office (PMO)
4.1
Office & Facilities
113. The Inventory Report in Appendix III shows PMO's assets. KORDI continues to generously
provide office space for the PMO. This year, an air-conditioner was installed in the PMO's
meeting room. KORDI also provided guest house space on-site for the foreign consultant
and intern of the project.
114. As the activities of project have been executed, the office needs more space for new desks
of interns and consultants who will be worked in the office and more space to store the
publication and public awareness products, as well.
4.2
Staff Recruitment and Intern Programme
Staff Recruitment
115. The Fisheries Officer, Mr. Jeffery Archer resigned from the PMO on 1 April 2006, due to
personal reasons. Following his resignation, an advertisement for the post of Fisheries
Officer was circulated globally, with 12 applications received by the PMO. After careful
review of the selection panel, Mr. Frazer McGilvray was selected as successor of Mr.
Archer. Unfortunately, after accepting the offer from UNOPS, Mr. McGilvray had to stay
with his family due to an unforeseen family incident.
116. The post was re-advertised with timely assistance from UNOPS. Following normal review
of another 14 applications, a short list of candidates was created. Following the review, the
selection panel decided to offer the post to Dr. Mark Walton. Dr. Walton has a PhD degree
in mangrove rehabilitation and fisheries productivity from the School of Ocean Sciences,
University of Wales, United Kingdom, and has several years' experience working in Asian
countries on fisheries and biodiversity issues. It is anticipated that with Dr. Walton joining
the PMO, the project will have more experience and abilities for better implementation of
project activities.
Intern Programme
117. Following approval of the PSC on the intern programme, the PMO was pleased to have Dr.
Pae Seong Hwan from ROK, and Ms. Wei Yan from China working as interns in the PMO.
In the beginning of their internship, workplans were prepared with close consultation with
the staff concerned. It was clearly planned that the intern should closely follow the
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 28
workplan and focus their efforts on familiarising themselves with the UN working system,
including project implementation and financial management. At the time that this report
was prepared, Dr. Pae had completed his term (1 April 30 September 2006). In his final
report, he indicated that:
"I obtained more understanding of implementation and management of the
Project. Internship enabled me to understand the internal management of
PMO and knew the different perspective of project management."
"Internship programme is crucial element for participating countries to
understand the regional and international project especially under UN system
and help young government officials or scientist to learn global standard of
project management scheme."
118. Ms. Wei Yan is currently working with PMO (1 August 2006 31 January 2007), with main
focus on implementing the Investment Component. Ms. Wei has working experience with
the national government agency, which has helped project implementation. With more
experience in international organisations and financial management, she would have
substantive progress in her capacity to continue her career.
4.3
Project Website, E-discussion group and Newsletter
119. Based on a recommendation from the "1st Yellow Sea Partnership Workshop" in Beijing,
China, 15-16 March 2006, the Yellow Sea Partnership (YSP) e-discussion group was
established to facilitate e-mail communication among all Partners. The e-mail address,
partnership@yslme.org, redirects all e-mail to each registered participant's e-mail account.
120. Following another agreement from the workshop, the PMO has implemented, and manages
a website (http://www.yslme.org/partnership) for the Yellow Sea Partnership (YSP).
Through disseminating and sharing information, the website will help to promote
environmentally-sustainable management and use of the marine and coastal resources in
the Yellow Sea. It is expected that the website will foster mutual knowledge and
understanding of the Yellow Sea's environment among a wide range of stakeholders in the
region. For next stage of website implementation, the site will provide several add-in
services to obtain more participation from visitors. Each partner will be able to update their
own pages, including updating their events schedule, leave messages for other partners,
and update their organisation's news.
121. Additionally, the project commenced a paper-based newsletter regularly with electronic
version. The newsletter explains various activities in each three-month period with photos.
4.4
Operation of the Office
122. PMO has been operating within the rules and regulations of UNOPS. PMO launched and
set up the following activities this year, together with daily management of the project
activities.
· Foreign language program: PMO staff have provided lesson in English, Chinese,
Korean and Japanese class to each other and KORDI staff on a regular basis.
· Travel authorization from UNDP-Seoul: PMO has submitted the PMO staffs' travel
authorization to UNDP-Seoul and also to UNOPS.
· Server operation: Within the objective to provide a file and print server and backing
up the data, PMO is operating a server with size of 150GB.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 29
· Paper newsletter: Beside E-newsletter, PMO has published the paper newsletter
quarterly and has distributed both kinds of newsletters to relevant organizations and
persons.
· New promotional items as public awareness materials: Based on the master list of
items for the public awareness and communication strategy, PMO has produced
new promotion items and got a good feed back from many stakeholders.
123. PMO has made some remarkable achievements this year, including:
124. All local staff got the multi-entry visa to China with the help of SOA, China and it was very
efficient to save the cost and time to arrange the visa for the meetings and workshops in
China.
125. All the staff in the PMO have show very strong team work spirit. During the last inter-
sessional period, the project implementation has received valuable benefits from the team
work of the PMO.
5.
Co-operation with other Organisations and Projects
126. In addition to the co-operation with the
participating governments and their
affiliated agencies, the Project has been
actively seeking partnership with other
relevant organisations, including regional
projects, NGOs, and universities in order
to pursue more effective conservation
activities in the Yellow Sea.
127. The Project signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) individually with
WWF/KEI/KORDI Yellow Sea Eco-
Region Planning Programme (YSEPP), Figure 14. Participants of the First Yellow Sea
Wetland International (WI), and Marine Partnership Meeting.
Stewardship Council (MSC). The MOUs
state partnership with those organisations, specifying activities and focal areas to
collaborate on.
128. The Project also pursues a possibility to strengthen relationship with other regional co-
operative mechanisms such as the GEF/UNDP/IMO Partnerships in Environmental
Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) and the North Pacific Marine Science
Organization (PICES). Currently, the MOU with PEMSEA is in preparation, while that with
PICES is under consideration.
129. As Section 2 in this report highlighted, co-operation with NGOs was facilitated through the
Yellow Sea Partnership. Additionally, the Project contracted local environmental NGOs in
China and Republic of Korea to organise public awareness activities under the Youth
Programme and the Small Grants Programme. For detailed information about those
activities, please see Section 3.5 in this report.
130. Co-operation with universities is also sought actively. In addition to contracting various
short-term consulting services under Project Components, the Project seeks to establish a
regular co-operative relationship with universities. One of those efforts is that the Project
has begun dialogues with Myongji University and Yonsei University in ROK for future
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 30
possible co-operation. It is expected that such co-operation would promote a wider
stakeholder participation in the Project activities.
6.
Challenges to Project Implementation
131. All projects face challenges to implementation, but it is important to learn from, and
overcome these challenges. A project of such a scale as this one requires that all partners
pull their weight where needed, otherwise the project will not be successful, and will face
many delays or in the worst case, cannot meet its objectives. To ensure smooth
implementation of the project, and especially since the project is moving towards the phase
to develop the SAP, national and regional co-ordination must be efficient and effective to
ensure that the SAP objective is met.
132. During the last RSTP Meeting, the Project Manager's report listed some challenges to
implementation, most of which continue to exist. To overcome these challenges requires
contributions from more than just one party, and the RSTP and PSC are requested to pay
higher attention to these challenges, to take action to eliminate them, or at least lessen their
negative impacts on implementation.
133. In order to ensure successful project implementation in the remaining years, it is critical that
challenges in improved national and regional co-ordination and communication are
addressed now. Many challenges remain since the last RSTP Meeting. These and new
ones are all listed in Table 6.
Table 6. Challenges to project implementation.
Issue
Situation
Need to enhance the During the first year, the Inter-Ministry Co-ordinating Committees
roles of the IMCC
were established in the participating countries. IMCC meetings have
been held in both countries; however, due to various reasons and
constraints, limited ministries participate in the meetings.

in the national and project partners have expanded to include more institutions.

However, the new members are still limited in number or only on a

other stakeholders
faced by the project, it would be more effective and beneficial to all
such as NGOs and participating countries if additional institutions, especially NGOs, could

have long-term involvement in the project. It should be noted that
expanding long-term participation to more institution, would not only
bring more expertise and human resources to the project, but also
bring more attention to the environmental problems faced by the
Yellow Sea.
Unstable NWG and The members of some Regional Working Groups continue to be
RWG membership
unstable and change too often. Consistent membership would lead to
better understanding of the project for the individual, and also for the
whole component. In this regard, stable membership would largely
help the implementation of project activities.
Changes in membership are partly due to: 1) lack of institutional
incentives (see below); 2) lack of respect toward fellow members
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 31
during RWG meetings; and 3) personality conflicts between RWG
members.
In addition to unstable membership, attendance at the last round of
some RWG meetings was erratic, with some members arriving late
and leaving early.
Lack of institutional Unstable RWG membership might result from lack of incentives. It
incentives
was reported that NWG members particularly in ROK were unwilling
to attend RWG meetings because of no incentives. Institutional
incentives should be pursued, while financial incentives (e.g.,
consulting fee for attendance) are neither appropriate nor available.
The institutional incentives are conditions such that RWG meetings
are a priority; the members get credits for participation. The
participating governments should make sure that the importance of
RWGs is understood clearly by the top management of organisations
which dispatch the RWG members. Those organisations have to
recognise the RWGs as a task with high priority.
Reduction in
Government co-financing in-kind and in-cash is highly appreciated by
institutional overhead the project. With additional financing and resources, more project
fees for contracts and funds can be diverted to actual activities. It is understood that there
reporting on use of might be regulations for some institutions to charge overhead, and
co-financing
there has been an attempt to waive or reduce these fees. The co-
financing pledged by governments is another way to offset these fees,
but there is currently no formal mechanism to do so, or to know how
the co-financing resources are being used.
Need for better
The second round of RWG Meetings included an agenda where the
understanding of the UNOPS contracting procedures were explained. The PMO informed
UN and GEF financial the RWGs that work should be done first, and payment provided upon
rules and operational satisfactory submission of the service's goods. Contracted parties
mechanisms
should understand that the contract is a legal document and breach of
contract may result in non-payment of services. Despite the
explanation provided, some contractors still requested funds before
submission of goods, and a small number even asked for expedited
payment although the goods were submitted nearly one year after the
contract deadline.
Little regard for
There continues to be delays in meeting milestones stated in legally
deadlines and
signed contracts for activities. It is understood that contracted parties

have busy schedules with their regular jobs; however, to take on a
reminders
contract signifies a commitment to delivering the services on time.
The delay in submission of national data reports has impacted the
completion of the regional synthesis and TDA.
The third round of RWG meetings set new urgent deadlines for
submission of final reports which are now 7-8 months overdue at
the time of preparing this report. Many of these deadlines have
not been met again.
Contracted parties need to understand and embrace a sense of
urgency in order to maintain efficient project implementation.

Need more attention The RWG, RSTP, and PSC Meetings are the fora for project partners
and action on
to meet annually and agree on future project implementation. The
agreements from
discussions and agreements reached at these meetings should be
various meetings
addressed and acted upon, to minimize delay in project
implementation.
Communication
While this has been improved somewhat, there is still room for
between contracted progress. A small number of activities still need to strengthen
parties/WG members communication between "national project leaders" and their national
and PMO
team members, and also between the contracted party and the PMO.
Frequent communication will allow regular monitoring of the progress
of the activity, and assistance from PMO, where needed, to fulfil the
activities.
Additionally, the "national project leaders" should transfer all
information gleaned from RWG, technical, RSTP, and PSC meetings
to their NWG colleagues. This would ensure that all parties are kept
up-to-date with the implementation progress, and are prepared to
discuss the issues when required, without having to be informed
about the developments.
Quality of output Related to the issue on deadlines, some contracted parties rush to
results
deliver the goods at the last minute; thus, compromising the quality of
the output. On the other hand, some contracted parties do not
necessarily engage in a last-minute rush, yet still produce low-quality
outputs, although the proposals were of high-quality. The latter
implies a lack of commitment to the contract and project, and
misplaced values on the objective of receiving the contract. There
also seems to be a forgetfulness of referring to the TOR in the
contracts on what should constitute the final product. The lack of
exchange in communication on reminders and explaining the
expected outcomes causes delay in implementation (see above issue
on communication).
Inadequate sense of For an international project to succeed, all members should possess a
trust among project certain level of trust in each other. The starting point for a successful
partners
working relationship is built on basic trust of each other's commitment
and ability to fulfil one's responsibility. The project is to be
implemented collaboratively by the participating countries, and will be
successful if all participants expand their mutual trust of each other.
134. The numerous challenges listed above imply a need for a stronger sense of commitment by
all parties to the project and a more faithful and optimistic outlook that the project will
indeed provide the expected benefits to the region's marine environment. In addition to
commitment to the project, partners should also embody a sense of accountability of their
proposals and actions.
135. Recommendations for future implementation to overcome the challenges are described in
Section 8.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV

Recommendations for Future Implementation
Further enhance national co-ordination and roles of IMCC
136. During the implementation of the project activities in the last inter-sessional period, it should
be noted that there was progress in national co-ordination. The progress was achieved
based on the efforts of the focal ministries and the National Project Co-ordinator. One of
the examples is the wider participation of more stakeholders in project implementation.
Local governments along the coasts of the Yellow Sea, and the NGOs actively participated
in the relevant project activities.
137. As the project is entering its 2nd phase of the implementation, i.e. the preparation of SAP,
the national co-ordination is becoming crucial, as (i) management measures to be included
in the SAP require wider participation of discussion among the relevant ministries and other
stakeholders; and (ii) final approval of SAP needs the consensus of relevant governmental
agencies, and other stakeholders.
138. Therefore, to further enhance national co-ordination and roles of IMCC will become more
important than the first phase. It is recommended that the focal ministries and the
National Project Co-ordinator take all measures possible to achieve stronger national
co-ordination.
Further increase in incentive of the national participating institutions
139. Active participation of the national institutions and individual experts in the project activities
will not only provide benefits to the successful implementation of the project activities, but
also provide valuable opportunities to upgrade the capacity of the institution and experts, in
particular the younger participants.
140. The different management systems in different institutions resulted in some issues that
need to be considered:
141. The participations of experts were somehow limited by their current work load in their
institutions. Moreover, the scientists and experts need to raise funding from the project
contracts to cover a certain portion of their salaries. This situation applies to both China
and ROK. Therefore, the scientists and experts need to find "incentives" to participate in
the project activities; and
142. The scientists and experts involved in the project have an obligation to publish a certain
number of scientific papers to keep their current research position, and furthermore to meet
the conditions to get promotion. Therefore, they need "incentives" to put as much effort into
their regular work as to the Project.
143. It is recommended the relevant focal ministries consider these issues to: (i) use the
co-financing resources and/or necessary policy to ensure the active participations of
key scientists and experts in the project activities; and (ii) prepare relevant policies
to allow outcomes of the project activities, even those focusing on the management
issues, to be outcomes equivalent to their research results as required by the
current management policies.
Further ensure the qualities of the project outcomes produced
144. The first 2 years of project implementation was met in a satisfactory rate and manner.
However there were a few cases where the delivered results did not follow the terms in the
contracts. These outputs were either delayed for substantive period of time, or submitted
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.3/3
Annex IV
Page 34
with the quality not meeting the requirements of the agreed terms of reference. PMO has
tried very hard, together with the NPCs, to change the situation, but problems still exist to a
large extent.
145. It is recommended that the focal ministries and NPCs, together with PMO, monitor
the relevant situation to ensure the project outcomes are delivered in a timely
manner, and with satisfactory quality. The PMO together with UNOPS will follow the
conditions in the contract, and make necessary judgment on the final acceptance of
the outcomes delivered by the contractors.
Further strengthen communication among all the project partners
146. The communication problems, as reported to the last meeting of RSTP and PSC, still
remain in a similar situation. Communication between the participating institutions and the
PMO were not regular enough to be acceptable. Although some important communications
were copied to the NPCs, the improvement was not apparent yet.
147. It is recommended that the PSC seriously consider this issue, and ensure smooth
communication be ensured in the future. This task is listed in the contract TORs
between the NPCs and UNOPS. It is expected the NPCs should take necessary
actions to improve the communication. It would be better if some monitoring and
reporting system could be established within management of the national project
activities.
