during the last inter-sessional period, the project had many notable achievements.
He congratulated the successful organisation of the 4th RSTP meeting where
members reviewed YSLME activities since the 3rd RSTP/PSC meeting. Among the
important achievements is the publishing of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
(TDA) and the agreement on the co-operative cruises. He mentioned that this year
the project has entered a new phase, that of the SAP. He noted the joint efforts in
deciding the regional targets and management actions and stated that the drafting
and implementation of the SAP will be the main focus over the next 2 years. Mr Li
expressed his pleasure that the project has chosen to have its PSC meeting in
Guangzhou and he hoped that the experiences from the Yellow Sea project can be
used to address similar environmental problems in China's South Sea
1.1.4 On behalf of the Government of Republic of Korea, Ms. Young Shil KANG welcomed
the all delegates, particular the delegation from China, the observers from DPRK,
and the PMO. She gave a high evaluation of the implementation rate of the project

PROJECT MANAGER'S REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT
ACTIVITIES (DOCUMENT UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4.4) (Annex IV)
(i) Implementation of Project Activities
(ii) Co-operation with other Organisations and Projects
(iii) Report on the Project Management Office (PMO)
(iv) Mid-term Evaluation
(v) Financial
Report
Implementation of projects activities and co-operation with other organisations and projects
4.1
Mr. Jiang presented the Project Manager's report, highlighting some of the major
achievements over the past year which are the outputs and outcomes of the project,
including:
· Enhanced
co-operation
mechanisms;
· Increased trust for better co-operation;
· Improved knowledge on Yellow Sea ecosystem;
· Preparation of major outputs;
· Increased public awareness;
· Strengthened regional partnerships; and
· Improved management for future operation
4.2
Mr Jiang provide additional details including:
· He informed the meeting that economic valuation guidelines had been drafted,
as well as the regional governance analysis which recommends the setting up
of a YSLME Commission;
· The "Regional Conference on Protection of the Marine Environment and
Sustainable Use of Marine Resources in the Yellow Sea" strengthened
regional co-operation, and examined the establishment of a mechanism for
more regular meetings of this kind through parliamentary committees;
· Consideration of funding for the project's 2nd phase had begun, with China
and ROK considering how each government can contribute additional
resources;
· The ocean colour algorithm activity was a good example of increased regional
co-operation with the sharing of data among China, ROK, and Japan. There
exists a regional agreed algorithm but it does not work in turbid waters like the
Yellow Sea it was therefore decided that a YS algorithm was needed;
· The project's databases will be linked to other existing ones in the region, with
data exchange allowed;
· Initial agreement was reached on the technical issues related to the co-
operative cruise;
· The Regional Science Conference held in August 2007 displayed new and
improved knowledge on the Yellow Sea ecosystem, e.g. jellyfish bloom,
mariculture diseases, atmospheric deposition of pollutants, mariculture
carrying capacity, genetic diversity to prevent disease outbreak, results of the
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 4
CPR survey with ship time contributed by China, inter-comparison exercises
for analysis of nutrients, metals, and organics. These knowledge provided
important information for preparing SAP and to design demonstration
activities
· Major outputs of the project included the publication of the "Data &
Information Activity results, and publication of the TDA;
· SAP preparation had started, with some feasibility studies done and
management targets and actions agreed on. A cost-benefit analysis, political
& social acceptance analysis, and 3 drafting group meetings would be held in
2008;
· During 2007, public awareness programmes included a youth awareness
programme held in Dandong, China, contributing to the idea of a possible
future 3-country youth programme; a capacity building activity for local
government officers on marine function zoning and sea use; and the
continuation of the Yellow Sea Partnership with joint activities carried out in
Busan, ROK and Rizhao, China;
· Regional partnership was strengthened with the YSESP Project through the
development of a joint workplan and agreement on co-implementing common
activities in conservation of biologic diversity;
· A mid-term evaluation and internal audit gave the highest grade of
"satisfactory" for project implementation and some recommendations that will
help improve project management; and
· The PMO continued to issue quarterly newsletters to update the public on
project implementation.
4.3
Some challenges to project implementation were still to be overcome including:
· Although additional stakeholders (universities, local govt agencies) were now
involved in the project, there is still a need to strengthen the IMCC, as SAP
approval is approaching.
· Occasional changes in NWG and RWG members still occurred although this
had improved somewhat.
· Lack of institutional incentives remains as a challenge, and reporting on co-
financing resources from countries was still weak.
· While respect for deadlines, follow-up on actions/agreements from meetings,
quality of outputs, and communication between PMO and partners had
improved since project inception, there is still room for further progress. The
same applied to building trust among partners.
Report on the Project Management Office (PMO)
4.4
Mr. Jiang thanked KORDI for providing a larger office space for the PMO this year.
Mr. Mark WALTON was hired as the new programme officer for the fisheries and
biodiversity components; two interns completed their tenure with the PMO; and 2
new interns Mr Yunil KIM and Ms. Ming YU have recently joined the PMO.
Financial Report
4.5
Mr. Jiang explained the 2007 Expenditure Report with and without the co-operative
cruise. He explained the rate of spending, activity implementation, and that some
savings resulted from the combination / revision of activities. He answered questions
raised in the RSTP about the expenditure on meetings, reporting that the project had
spent 9% of the budget on meetings in 2007, with 4% forecasted in 2008 and 8% in
2009.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3

4.6
The Chairperson thanked the Project Manager for the informative report and
reiterated some of the important points raised including enhanced trust through data
sharing, the joint cruise and SAP preparation.
4.7
Ms. Kang thanked the PMO for the significant progress in project implementation,
asking the PMO to take an action to study the possibility of implementing the Yellow
Sea Commission, and report progress at the next PSC meeting. Mr. Jiang
appreciated the comments of Ms. Kang and suggested that PMO will prepare a
strategy document for the establishment of the YS commission, in consultation with
relevant governments of the participating countries.
4.8
Mr. Menz responded to earlier suggestions that the project might charge for the
recently published National Reports and Regional synthesis saying that it was better
that we targeted the recipients of the reports.
4.9
Ms. Tengberg stated that there was a good chance of further funding for the second
phase, but this depended on the implementation of the co-operative cruises, she
noted that the ROK was no longer eligible for funding, but indicated that DPRK is
eligible for GEF funding once UNDP resumes operation in DPRK. She suggested
that atmospheric deposition is not commonly considered in GEF LME projects but
that it was an important issue. Mr. Jiang thanked Ms. Tengberg for explanation of
the GEF policy on further funding. Regarding the question of atmospheric deposition,
he stated that the YS had one the highest rates comparing with other regions, e.g.
the North Sea. Mr. Jiang expressed his enthusiasm for more relevant information
from the Worldbank/GEF on dealing with the land-based pollution in the seas of the
East Asia. Ms. Tengberg agreed to assist in this matter.
4.10 Mr. Lee commented that as the project will promote ecosystem-based management,
it is important to include a fisheries component in the co-operative cruises. He
suggested that necessary negotiation should be continued to include fisheries
component in the 2nd cruise. Mr Jiang replied that even though no agreement had
been reached, PMO will continue negotiate with the Government of China on this
issue. He reported to the meeting that during the 4th RWG Fisheries meeting
members agreed that if there is no agreement on inclusion of the fishery component
in the second co-operative cruise, they will carry out a regional stock assessment
with 4 surveys performed in 2008, using separate vessels of China and ROK. He
thanked Mr. Xianshi JIN and Ms. Inja YEON for their efforts and co-operative spirit.
4.11 Mr. Zhe Yang thanked Mr. Jiang for his presentation on the projects activities. He
encouraged the project not to be limited to the outputs and outcomes stated in the
project document. He considered the establishment of the Yellow Sea Commission a
good idea to ensure the sustainability of the project. He further noted the MTE raised
the issue of the project administration costs which were over 50%. He asked PMO to
work with UNOPS to explore ways to lower the administrative costs or reflect them in
a more accurate way. He also hoped PMO could improve the accuracy of its 2008
budget.
4.12 Mr. Menz indicated the budget mismatch, came from anticipated expenditure that
had been overestimated, largely due to the postponement of the cruises. When it
became clear that the cruises were not going to happen in 2007 the budget was
reduced. In response to the high administrative costs, he suggested that most of the
time staff spent is on substantive issues, and very little time is actually spent on
administration and as such the budget should reflect this divide.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 6
4.13 In reply Mr. Jiang added that the note on the "high administration costs of the project"
that appears in the MTE was a misunderstanding due to the ATLAS format of the
budget. This was due to the inclusion of the contingency component, budget
reserved for demonstration activities, in the administration cost. He suggested PMO
can follow up with Mr. Menz's suggestion and use the PRA to estimate time spent on
substantive issues.
4.14 Ms. Tengberg added that GEF has new guidelines on dividing the budget according
the staff time spent on administration and on technical matters. She agreed to
provide new format to the PMO.
4.15 Mr. Nam commented that if DPRK had full participation in the project he is sure that
after discussion with his government, the DPRK would join in the YS commission,
however DPRK cannot make a quick decision as the country is not a full member yet.
Mid-term Evaluation
4.16 Mr. Jiang informed members that UNOPS and UNDP had selected the two
consultants Dr. Ong Jin-Eong and Dr. Alan Fox to evaluate the project progress. The
report noted the TDA/SAP structure utilised in the YSLME is common to many
projects in the GEF International Waters project portfolio and has a good record of
success. The report stated the project was well managed with appropriate financial
and management structures. The consultants detailed a number of notable
achievements by the project including: the TDA; successful attempts to engage
parliamentarians; and were particularly interested in the co-financing mechanism
developed with the YSESP/WWF. The report suggested that there was room for
improvement in the financial planning, and gave 14 recommendations including:
- Enhancing fisheries management in the region;
- Paying more attention to mariculture demonstration activities;
- More attention being paid on habitat conservation;
- Determination of the carrying capacity of YS ecosystem;
- Extension of the small grants projects as for wider participation;
- Continuation of the YSP;
- Involving the DPRK as full member of the project.
4.17 Ms. Tengberg informed PMO that UNDP/GEF needed to receive a response for how
these recommendations are going to be implemented.
4.18 With clarification provided by Ms. Tengberg, it was agreed that PMO will provide
response to the recommendations in the MTE report.
4.19 On behalf of the Chinese Delegation, Mr. Zhu agreed with majority of findings of the
MTE report and found the recommendations were helpful in the successful
implementation of the project, and for obtaining funding for the 2nd phase of the
project. He emphasised that the full involvement of DPRK into the project would be
an important achievement.
4.20 On behalf of the Delegation of ROK, Ms. Kang indicated that most of the
recommendations of the MTE are satisfactory to her government. She stated that
the small grants programme had already been carried out for 2 years and suggested
that the project should focus on the SAP preparation and demonstration activities.
Mr Lee raised the issue of allocating budget. Concerning the importance and
possibility of second phase of the YSLME, more attention and budget should be
considered for the preparation of SAP
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 7
4.21 Mr. Menz asked about recommendation 12 in the MTE regarding the appointment of
a communications expert and the need for increasing public involvement in the
project. Mr Jiang replied that the project already had a public awareness strategy,
and proposed a plan to hire a short term consultant to help in the public awareness
and participation.
4.22 Mr Zhe Yang requested PMO prepare an action plan responding to the MTE
recommendation within 2 weeks, he also stated UNDP's position on the DPRK's
participation in the project which is reflected in the Agenda 6.
4.23 The meeting had extensive discussion on the recommendation to extend the small
grant programme. The meeting agreed that following the recommendation, the small
grant programme in 2008 should focus on issues relevant to the SAP, in particular
the SAP demonstration activities.
4.24 Following the acceptance of proposed actions and agreements as stated above,
the meeting accepted the project manager's report.
5.

Co-operative Cruise
5.4
Mr. Lee requested clarification on the procedure for the organisation of the co-
operative cruises. The meeting was informed that, as discussed previously, the co-
operative cruises will be conducted following final approval from the governments of
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 8
China and ROK. A Memorandum of Agreement will be prepared and signed by the
responsible ministries in both countries stating the agreements on the co-operative
cruises, including the observation map and the agreement on the full sharing of data
and samples generated from the cruises.
5.5
The Meeting appreciated the job that the Chairperson of the Fourth RSTP Meeting
had done and his excellent work in leading the meeting in fruitful discussions. The
Meeting adopted the Fourth RSTP Meeting Report.
6.
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/RSP.4/10. He explained the
background and history of this issue; including the background, agreed actions from
the PSC to advance this issue, the current status, and planned activities for DPRK
(capacity building on environmental pollution monitoring and assessment; training of
scientists and young students; finding financial resources; and attendance at 4th
RSTP and PSC Meetings). He thanked Mr. Nam for facilitating the visit of Project
Manager and the SOA official to DPRK in 2005 to explain the project to SHMA.
6.2
Mr. Jiang informed the meeting that the MTE Report stated that DPRK's involvement
in the project would be a valuable contribution to a more complete understanding and
better management of the Yellow Sea. He reminded participants that a medium
sized project proposal had been submitted to GEF to seek funds for implementing
activities related to YSLME in DPRK. The response received from GEF was that
when UNDP resumes operation in DPRK, funding might be possible.
6.3
Mr. Jiang mentioned that in the last RSTP meeting it was agreed that additional
funding would be pursued, funding had already been found to facilitate the
participation of DPRK in the 4th RSTP/PSC meeting and for a training course in
environmental pollution monitoring and assessment. He thanked the co-funding
agencies.
6.4
Mr. Nam stated that following the visit by Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wenxi Zhu, the
representative of the China National Project Co-ordinator, SHMA understood the
responsibilities and benefits to participate in the project. Following consultations with
the National Co-ordinating Committee for Environment, the GEF Focal Point, an
official endorsement letter was sent to the project and SHMA established a focal
point in China to deal with this issue. Mr. Nam expressed his hope that the PSC
could accept the DPRK as a full member of the project, considering the fact that the
official endorsement letter was issued and the SHMA's focal point was established.
6.5
Ms. Tengberg informed that it was a purely financial limitation at present due to the
fact that GEF funding at this point cannot be channelled through UNDP to DPRK.
She stressed that co-financing can be used for DPRK participation and that the
shutting of the UNDP office in DPRK did not prevent DPRK's participation in the
project on technical matters.
6.6
Mr. Jiang responded that the delayed entry of DPRK into the project was beyond the
Project's control and asked DPRK delegates on behalf of the PMO to please accept
that PMO is trying hard to include the DPRK into the project.
6.7
On behalf of the Delegation of China, Mr. Zhu welcomed the participation of DPRK in
the project following the recommendation of the RSTP.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 9
6.8
On behalf of the Delegation of the Republic of Korea, Ms. Kang also welcomed the
DPRK and hoped that the PMO can assist in their participation.
6.9
Mr. Zhe Yang noted the support for DPRK's participation in the YSLME project from
both governments and felt that the DPRK's participation in the project important. He
reiterated that due to the closure of the UNDP office in DPRK, UNDP cannot
consider the full membership of the DPRK at this time. Nevertheless, UNDP
welcomes the DPRK's participation in the YSLME project to be financed through
other resources.
6.10 The meeting reviewed the recommendation of RSTP on this issue and agreed that
YSLME Project welcome the participation of DPRK in the project. For the financial
arrangements of DPRK's involvement, there is a need to explore necessary budget
from other financial resources
7.
PROPOSED WORKPLAN AND BUDGET FOR 2008 AND ONWARDS
7.1
The Chairperson invited the Project Manager to introduce the budget and workplan
for 2008 and onwards.
7.2
Mr. Jiang provided an outline of the budget breakdown and asked participants to
check the budget and workplan in the meeting folder (UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/11 &
4/12). He explained that increased funding in all project components in the proposed
2008 budget and onward was due to the focus of the project's implementation of the
demonstration activities. He explained that the budget presented in the document
was to assist members to appreciate the total estimated cost of planned activities
over the next 2 years. It was pointed out by UNOPS that a detailed expenditure
estimate for 2008 would be required. Mr Jiang suggested to take two-step approach:
(i)
discussing, improving and agreeing on the budget as discussed, modified and
agreed by the RSTP;
(ii)
based on the agreed budget, an annual expenditure estimation should be
prepared, to provide best estimate expenditure planning for 2008.
7.3
The PSC endorsed in principle the budget and workplan for 2008 and onward
as proposed by RSTP which are attached as Annex V and Annex VI, respectively.
However, the PSC was reminded that the PMO need to prepare best estimate of
annual expenditure which may be different from the proposed budget.
8. OTHER
BUSINESS
8.1
The Chairperson invited the participants to propose any other business to be
considered at the meeting.
8.2
Mr Jiang raised the issue of a launching ceremony if the co-operative cruises are
successful. He wanted the members to decide whether to have a launching
ceremony and what level of participation should be expected. He reminded
members that as discussed in the RSTP, the cruises will contribute substantive
scientific knowledge, e.g impacts of climate change in the Yellow Sea ecosystem.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Page 10
8.3
The meeting agreed on a launching ceremony and the need to try and mobilize
senior level officers to attend the ceremony possibly Minister or Director
General level.
9.
DATE AND VENUE OF NEXT PSC MEETING
9.1
The Chairperson informed the meeting that it is customary to have PSC meetings
alternating between the participating countries and as such the 5th RSTP/PSC
meeting was due to be held in ROK.
9.2
Mr. Jiang proposed the last week of November for the RSTP/PSC meeting and also
proposed a special PSC in April to examine the draft SAP and to agree the final
version that will go through each country's endorsement process and be signed by
the each country's focal point.
9.3
Ms. Tengberg suggested shortening the period of the next RSTP/PSC meetings if
possible.
9.4
Mr Nam requested that a convenient location be chosen that would permit the
attendance of DPRK.
9.5
Members agreed that the in order to facilitate participation of DPRK in next
PSC meeting, the meeting venue would be decided later by the PMO in
consultation with the NPCs. The meeting agreed that the 5th RSTP/PSC
meetings should be held 24-28 November 2008, and a Special PSC to be held
during the week of 21-25 of April 2008 if a draft SAP is available by then.
10.
ADOPTION OF THE MEETING REPORT
10.1 The Chairperson invited the participants to review the draft meeting report prepared
by the Secretariat. The draft report was discussed, amended, and adopted by
the Meeting.
11.
CLOSURE OF THE MEETING
11.1 Chairperson summarised the outputs of the meeting saying that members had made
some important decisions that would pave the way for the SAP development and 2nd
phase of the project, these included the endorsement of the NYSC and 6 month
extension. He thanked all participants for their hard work.
11.2 Mr. Zhe Yang agreed with earlier comments by Ms. Tengberg that the RSTP and
PSC meetings are too long and suggested to shorten the duration from five days to
three days (two days for RSTP and one day for PSC). To make the meetings more
effective, arrangement of the meetings has to be improved. He also suggested that
meeting minutes of 2-3 pages be prepared to reflect agreements, decisions and
disagreements for adoption by the PSC. If necessary, a record of the detailed
discussion at PSC meeting, including each of every words said by the participants
may be also prepared and submitted to the governments after the PSC meeting.
11.3 Chairperson concurred that a record of the meeting would be useful and informed Mr.
Zhe Yang that the Beijing office had been invited by the project but could not attend.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3

11.4 Ms. Kang thanked the Chairperson and appreciated the hard work of participants to
achieve substantive outputs and agreements. She also thanked the PMO.
11.5 Mr. Zhu thanked all participants especially ROK participants and DPRK observers
and UN representatives. He congratulated PMO on their efficient organisation and
hard work, Mr Zhu also thanked the Chairperson and the local host, represented by
Mr Yuanzhang CHEN, for their excellent arrangements.
11.6 Mr Jiang on behalf of Mr Zhang, the Director General of SOA International Co-
operation, apologised for not being able to attend the meeting due to a high fever, he
thanked the South Sea branch of SOA for hosting the event, especially the help of Mr

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 Regional Scientific
and Technical Panel (RSTP) and the Project Steering Committee (PSC) has been
smooth and successful, according to the workplan approved by the PSC at its Third
Meeting (Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, 20-22 November 2006).
2.
The Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) (Fig. 1)
has been finalised and published as a major project
outcome, which provided updated scientific and social
economic information of the Yellow Sea ecosystem.
The preparation of the Strategic Action Programme
(SAP) has been initiated, and the regional targets for
the management actions have been identified through
the SAP Ad-hoc Working Group and the Regional
Working Groups. Management actions have also
been identified, including the technical, institutional
and legislative actions. Through the Yellow Sea Figure 1. The cover of the TDA.
Partnership (YSP) framework and implementation of
the public awareness and communication strategy, co-
operation and co-ordination with other organisations and projects show encouraging
progress with substantive financial support generated during the inter-sessional
period. With identification of the regional targets and management actions, the
preparation of the National Strategic Action Plans (NSAP) have also been initiated.
3.
The achievements of the project have been recognised by a wide range of
stakeholders and other organisations and projects during the Fourth GEF
International Water Conference and the Second Global Large Marine Ecosystem
Conference. With the successful implementation and recognition of the major
achievements, it was recommended that a Yellow Sea Commission should be
established with the major task to implement the SAP, which requires financial
support from GEF for the project's second phase. After 5 years initials
implementation, the Commission would be self-sustainable with financial support
from the participating countries.
4.
Involvement of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is still under
negotiation. Following receipt of official endorsement from DPRK, the formal
involvement of DPRK depends on the formal acceptance of the current participating
countries, and the recommencement of UNDP operations there. Some activities
have been discussed and planned using funding from other sources.

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE THE LAST MEETING
5.
As with previous years, there were many outputs and outcomes produced by the
project in 2007, 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, activities, and events convened under the
auspices of the project in 2007 is attached as Appendix 1.

2.1
Finalisation and Publication of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
6.
Following the discussion and approval from the last RSTP and PSC meetings, the
TDA has been finalised and published. The TDA collected relevant data and
information about the Yellow Sea which contributed to:
(i)
Identification of the regional environmental problems in the Yellow Sea with
agreed regional formats and expected contributions from the participating
countries;
(ii)
Identification of the priority environmental problems using regionally agreed
criteria and processes;
(iii)
Analysis of the transboundary nature of the environmental problems following
the internationally accepted guidelines and processes;
(iv)
Identification of causes of the environmental problems with carefully designed
and implemented procedures; and
(v)
Suggestions for potential management actions to address the root causes of
the environment problems.
7.
The TDA was distributed widely to all stakeholders and other international and
regional projects, and received compliments from the readers. The TDA provided
the scientific basis for preparing the SAP.
2.2
Discussion and Agreement on Regional Targets and Management
Actions for the Strategic Action Programme
8.
The Project organised three preparatory
meetings in 2007 for SAP development:
Consultation Meeting and two Ad-hoc
Working Group Meetings. The
Consultation Meeting prepared the
"Conceptual Procedure" which
describes the objective and central
theme of the Project's SAP, the
procedure and mechanism of preparing
the SAP, and the timelines and
responsible parties to prepare the SAP.
The First and Second Ad-hoc Working
Group Meetings identified "Regional
Targets" (Fig. 2) (also known as Figure 2. Reduction of fishing boats in China by
Ecosystem Quality Objectives) and 30% is one of the regional targets the SAP will
"Management Actions," respectively.
address.
By definition, the Regional Targets are
"the ecological state that is aimed for by the year 2020" (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/AWG.2/2, Annex 2), while the Management Actions aim to achieve
those targets.
9.
A draft structure of the SAP which includes discussions of the Regional Targets and
Management Actions was presented to the First Ad-hoc Meeting. The Second Ad-
hoc Meeting prepared guidelines for demonstration activities and for two components
of feasibility studies (i.e. cost-benefit analysis [CBA], political and social acceptance
analysis [PSA]). The second Meeting also established an SAP drafting group
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 3
consisting of five members: three natural scientists, one social scientist, and the
Project Manager.
10.
A Call for Proposals for demonstration activities will be advertised in early 2008. An
external review panel will evaluate proposals and decide which ones to fund. The
implementation of selected proposed demonstration activities is expected to start in
September 2008 and end in December 2009.
11.
The RWG meetings organised after the above three preparatory meetings, reviewed
and finalised both the Regional Targets and Management Actions. The RWG
meetings of natural science components assessed technical feasibility of the
proposed Actions, while the RWG-I Component prepared implementation plans of
the CBA and PSA. The RWG-I also prepared guidelines for preparing NSAPs and
for conducting CBA of Management Actions.
12.
In summary, the Project produced the following outputs in 2007 to develop SAP and
NSAPs:
· Conceptual
Procedure
finalised;
· Regional Targets identified;
· Management Actions identified;
· SAP Structure drafted;
· Guidelines for demonstration activities prepared;
· SAP Drafting Group established;
· Call for Proposals for Demonstration Activities prepared;
· Technical Feasibility Study of Proposed Management Actions conducted;
· Implementation Plans of the CBA and PSA prepared;
· Guidelines for NSAPs development prepared; and
· Guidelines for CBA prepared.
13.
Meetings of the SAP Drafting Group are scheduled three times in 2008 (January,
March, and May 2008). Special RSTP and PSC Meetings will be convened in April
2008 to review the final draft of the SAP. The Yellow Sea Project aims to obtain an
endorsement of the SAP in the second half of the year 2008 from the governments of
China and ROK.
2.3
Regional Co-operation in Data Information Sharing Ocean Colour
14.
The RWG-E has been implementing an activity on developing/refining a regional
ocean colour algorithm for the Yellow Sea. This activity was initiated because such
an algorithm was needed in the region that can be used for better assessment and
future monitoring of primary productivity in the Yellow Sea.
15.
The activity has been contracted to Tohoku University to co-ordinate relevant
activities in the region. Thus far, 2 of 3 planned workshops have been convened to
advance the activity. The "First YSLME Ocean Color Workshop" (YOC-1) was held
on 4th June 2007 in Ansan, ROK. Scientists from China, ROK, and Japan gathered
to examine available data to formulate or refine ocean colour algorithms for Yellow
Sea turbid waters. Participants gave presentations showing the available data,
existing OC algorithms, current problems, and future directions. A working strategy
was developed, where the currently scattered in-situ data sets would be merged and
stored in a data server hosted by the PMO. These data are available for the
scientists to download for validation of in-situ algorithm.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3

16.
The YSLME PMO established an in-situ data sever which will be used exclusively by
the Ocean Colour group members.
17.
Considering the characteristics of OC remote sensing and reliability of the in-situ
parameters taken together with in-situ optical measurements, the OC algorithms for
retrieval of chl-a, TSS, and CDOM was examined first. At a later stage of the activity,
the OC atmospheric correction algorithm would be considered. After the first
workshop, the contractor produced a map showing all the contributed data as shown
in Figure 3, which covers a wide area of the Yellow Sea, as well as parts of the East
China Sea.
18.
The "Second YSLME Ocean
Color Workshop" (YOC-II) was
held from 1st to 2nd September
2007 at Nagasaki University,
Japan. Following the YOC-I
Workshop, scientists from
China, Republic of Korea, and
Japan gathered to examine
the progress of data analysis,
working towards the validation
and refinement of a regional
ocean colour algorithm for
Yellow Sea turbid waters. The
YSLME Project presented the
common dataset where bio-
optical data contributed by the
scientists are stored in one
common data server and
accessible by all members of Figure 3. Location of data points contributed by OC activity

was reviewed and additional
variables were agreed to be added (coloured dissolved organic matter at different
wavelengths, temperature and salinity). It was also discovered that some data were
inconsistent for the same variables due to differences in sampling/analytical
methods. Finally, scientists were tasked to contribute more data for the previously
agreed variables.
19.
Regional collaborative efforts in ocean colour algorithm development are gradually
expanding. In addition to the "core members" of this activity, there has been some
progress to examine how to include other regional experts into this activity. The final
workshop will include participation by other ocean colour scientists in the region, and
the workshop will spend some time to investigate how other OC projects can be
incorporated to improve the regional algorithm.
20.
This activity not only contributes to the development of regional co-operation in
developing regional algorithm, but also shows the co-operative spirit of the
participating countries in data and information sharing to achieve a common goal.
The agreement from the second workshop to share additional data shows that this
kind of regional co-operation will ultimately produce a product that can be used by
scientists working in the same field, and also scientists working in related issues (see
also Section 3 for Ecosystem Component's implementation).

Public Awareness and Participation Through Effective Co-operation in
the Yellow Sea Partnership
21.
The Project implemented a number of public awareness activities in 2007, according
to the "Public Awareness and Communication Strategy" that was discussed and
agreed by the First YSP Workshop (Beijing, China, 15-16 March 2006). Targeting a
wide range of stakeholders from decision-makers to school children, the activities
included organising a conference and a training workshop; providing lectures, hands-
on activities, and site visit opportunities; and granting small-scale financial
assistance. Specifically, the following activities were conducted to raise the
awareness of environmental issues in the Yellow Sea
·
Yellow Sea Partnership, including YSP Session at EAS Congress;
· Youth
Programme;
·
Local Government Training;
·
Regional Conference (Follow-up Meeting of Parliamentary
Conference);
·
Voluntary Internship Programme;
·
Full-time Internship Programme; and
·
Small Grants Programme.
22.
For more information about each activity, see Section 3.5 in this report. The
activities, co-ordinated under the YSP, are expected both to invite more stakeholder
participation in the Project and to strengthen the understanding and capacity of
various sectors of society to initiate marine conservation efforts. Co-operation
through the YSP would enable the Project to reach out to stakeholders effectively
and efficiently so as to secure their support for future Project implementation. A
broad and strong support obtained through the YSP's public awareness activities will
help in endorsing the SAP.
2.5
Discussion on the Project's Second Phase - Implementing the Strategic
Action Programme
23.
During the Fourth GEF International Waters Conference, a meeting was organised
with relevant officers from the GEF Secretariat, UNDP/GEF Unit and UNDP/GEF
Regional Co-ordinating Office to report on YSLME's progress and explore the
possibility for a second phase to implement the YSLME SAP. The following
elements were reported:
(i)
TDA has been finalised with several new findings in the Yellow Sea. The
causal chain analysis identified major problems and causes of the problems.
The major problems are within the GEF's new priority areas, such as
enrichment of nutrients, biodiversity conservation, etc.
(ii) The
SAP
Ad-hoc Working Group identified tangible management targets for
SAP, with some management actions falling within national plans and
policies, e.g. reduction of 30% of fishing boats, and reduction of 10% nutrient
discharge every 5 years in China; and no new reclamation projects in
Republic of Korea will be approved. Most of these tangible targets are
approved by the governments, with clearly defined actions and budgets.
(iii)
The necessity of GEF involvement in the implementation of YSLME SAP, the
second phase of the project, and associated co-financing from the
participating governments.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV

(iv)
Proposed mechanism for implementation of SAP, e.g. establishment of a
YSLME Commission, which would be a non-legal binding mechanism.
24.
GEF Secretariat and UNDP/GEF expressed their satisfaction with the implementation
of the project so far. Discussion was held on how to finance the second phase of the
YSLME project. As the GEF4 funding will terminate at the end of 2009, and GEF5
funding will start in 2010, the timeframe for Phase 2 implementation matches
perfectly with GEF's funding cycle. There was a positive response that during the
GEF5 funding, GEF will support the 2nd phase of the YSLME project, i.e.
implementation of the SAP.
3 PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION
3.1
Publication of Data Reports, Regional Syntheses and Governance
Analyses
25.
The national data and information collection, regional data syntheses, and national
governance analyses reports were finalised in 2006. Editors were hired to edit these
reports, and the PMO prepared them for printing. The data and syntheses reports
were published in 3 separate volumes: 1) Vol. 1 - China National Report; 2) Vol. 2 -
Republic of Korea National Report; 3) Vol. 3 - Regional Syntheses (Fig. 4). The
governance analyses will be published as Volume 4 once the Regional Governance
Analysis is finalised.

3.2
Fourth Round of RWG Meetings
26.
The fourth round of RWG meetings was held during September to November 2007.
In all meetings, the members reviewed and finalised the SAP regional targets and
management actions. Technical feasibility studies were carried out by the natural
science components, while RWG-I considered how to carry out cost-benefit analysis
of management actions, and political and social acceptance analyses of the SAP
itself. The RWGs also suggested some demonstration activities to implement to test
the effectiveness and benefits of the management actions. The details of each
RWG meeting and respective component's activities during the year will be reported

by the Chairpersons of each group. These documents are also available as Working
Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/6a-e.
3.3 Fisheries
Component
3.3.1 Report on stock assessment methodology
27.
Following comments from the 3rd RWG-F Meeting, the report on stock assessment
methodology was modified as agreed, and finalized. 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)
Recommendations for stock assessment in the Yellow Sea Large Marine
Ecosystem.
28.
The report highlights the major problems in Yellow Sea stock assessment, which
are:
a. The lack of agreed methods such as those used by ICES;
b. The availability of data at a regional level is limited, including insufficient
fisheries data and survey data;
c. The different coverage, targeted species, methods and gear used in surveys
result in incomparable results preventing effective stock assessment; and
d. The different standards in catch statistics.
29.
The report recommends a number of steps for overcoming these problems:
First step is to establish several scientific working groups (WG), such as
Fisheries data WG, responsible for: collection of fisheries data; data
standardization, etc.
Survey methods WG, responsible for: comparison of survey methods used
by the different countries; calibration to ensure consistent survey methods
are used to estimate the biomass of stocks; development of better
observation tools and survey strategies.
Fisheries biology WG responsible for; collection of fisheries biology data;
data standardization; biological characteristics of major species, e.g.
growth, mortality, migration and distribution, spawning, feeding, wintering,
etc.
Stock assessment WG responsible for: selecting adequate mathematical
models for the fish stocks in the Yellow Sea ecosystem; prediction of stock
size of commercially important species; providing sound estimates of
allowable biological catch (ABC) and total allowable catch (TAC) for
fisheries management.
Second step is to establish a mechanism to exchange survey data and fisheries
data.
Third step is to establish a joint survey mechanism based on analysis all the
historical individual surveys performed by countries from the working groups.
3.3.2 Sustainable mariculture symposium
30.
The Sustainable Mariculture Symposium/Workshop was hosted by the West Sea
Mariculture Research Center, Taean, Republic of Korea on 18-19th June 2007.
31.
During the symposium, scientists, mariculture farmers and policy makers listened to
talks during two sessions:

· "Best management practices for
aquaculture" covering
heterotrophic pond culture of shrimp, artificial food chain construction in pond
culture, sustainable cage culture and advances in shellfish culture.
32.
During the workshop, experts gave short presentations followed by extensive
discussions on the major obstacles to increase sustainability in mariculture in the
Yellow Sea. Previously mentioned topics were revisited, and in addition, further
presentations on best management practices for feeds and feeding and how
mariculture scientists can contribute to the preparation of the SAP for were given.
Experts discussed the challenges faced by the industry and how these problems had
been addressed on both sides of the Yellow Sea. The outcomes of the discussion
are all available online as the workshop report.
3.3.3 Determination of carrying capacity for mariculture
33.
A workshop was held in Rongcheng City hosted by the Yellow Seas Fisheries
Research Institute with the aim of exchanging modelling methodologies of carrying
capacity estimation, and suggesting regional activities to determine the carrying
capacity for mariculture.
34.
Mariculture scientists from China and ROK defined "Carrying Capacity" as the
maximum productivity and maximum economic benefit. This method balances the
nutrient budgets and primary productivity to set appropriate densities and diversity of
culture species. The framework and methods presented at the workshop will be a
useful management tool for the planning of mariculture and could be employed as a
demonstration activity of the Project's SAP management actions.
35.
The workshop reviewed progress on development of carrying capacity models for
mariculture (Fig. 6). To facilitate understanding, simple carrying capacity models on
single trophic level culture such as bivalve mariculture, macro-algae mariculture, and
finfish mariculture were presented and the parameters and reliability explained.
Multi-species carrying capacity models were also presented. Detailed discussions
followed, comparing the models used and parameters required, resulting in a good
exchange of ideas and suggestions for improvement.

36.
The workshop report outlines the various methodologies available for modelling
carrying capacity and presents a model that may be useful in the estimation of
carrying capacity for embayments around the Yellow Sea. It is a major step forward
in assisting in reducing the environmental impact of mariculture.
3.3.4 Diagnosis and prevention of mariculture disease
37.
The aim of the activity was to facilitate the exchange of information on the
developments in mariculture disease diagnosis, prevention and control. A workshop
was held in Jeju and hosted by Jeju National University on 16 - 17 October 2007.
38.
Experts reported on the development of new methods for rapid diagnosis of
mariculture disease and the identification of emerging diseases. Novel methods for
the prevention and control of fish and shellfish disease were also reported including
some promising work on the use of bacteriophages, selection of genetically disease
resistant strains of culture organisms and probiotics.
39.
Important discussions followed on the need for a regional early warning mechanism
to prevent the outbreak of new diseases. Members agreed that the current system,
where occurrence of notifiable diseases is reported four times a year to the Network
of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), was probably effective in preventing
disease outbreaks. However, the list of notifiable diseases was thought to be too
limited and may not include regionally important diseases and the reporting
mechanism may be too slow. The participants agreed that a yearly regional disease
workshop was needed to discuss developments in the identification, prevention and
control of emerging diseases.

3.4 Biodiversity
Component
3.4.1 Gene pool
40.
A workshop, in which twelve experts gave presentations on genetic diversity in the
Yellow Sea, was held in Busan, Republic of Korea on 14-15th May 2007, hosted by
the Project.
41.
The various techniques used in genetic analysis were reviewed and the
development of micro-satellite markers and DNA chip technology were highlighted
as promising. Other topics included genetic diversity in microbes, differences in
diversity between hatchery-raised and wild stocks of fish, shrimp and gastropods.
This is particularly important as the greater the genetic diversity, the greater the
evolutionary potential which may be especially important given the impacts from both
climate change and pollution, and the greater the resistance to diseases. Moreover,
the loss of locally adapted ecotypes can impact on the productivity of the system.
Selective breeding can reduce genetic diversity as a result of genetic bottlenecks,
this not only impacts on the fitness of cultured stocks, but also genetically similar
escapees from culture facilities and restocking programs can impact on the diversity
in wild populations through interbreeding.
42.
The use of DNA barcoding and chip technology to separate morphologically similar
species eg. skate species in the Yellow Sea where different species command
different prices even though looking remarkably similar, was reported. Other
important papers described the use of mitochondrial DNA for the separation of
stocks. Fisheries management requires knowledge of the area used by each stock
of commercial species in order to set exploitation levels that are sustainable.
43.
One of the major problems facing cultured animals is the spread of disease; the
identification of genes controlling disease response in scallops is a step towards the
development of disease resistant stocks and prevention of the annual losses that
occur currently (Fig. 7). Other researchers used Amphioxus, a possible ancestor of
all chordates with a genome uncomplicated by extensive genetic duplication, in the
study of the genetic control of development and disease response.

44.
The threats to genetic biodiversity and the conservation measures necessary to
preserve genetic diversity in the Yellow Sea were discussed during the final day.
The main threats that specifically affect genetic diversity come from aquaculture
escapees and restocking practices, where selective breeding and limited brood stock
numbers result in reduced genetic diversity that is then passed onto the wild
population. Other threats that also affect biodiversity generally (species, habitat and
genetic diversity) come from pollution, over-harvesting and fishing, introduction of
non-indigenous species and loss of habitat from reclamation and destructive fishing
practices. Thus, for management, species and genetic diversity can be considered
together as the threats and conservation measures required to preserve diversity are
the same, with the exception of the threat from aquaculture.
45.
As the study of genetic diversity is relatively new and development of micro-satellite
markers is expensive, there is insufficient data to measure changes in genetic
diversity in wild stocks in the Yellow Sea, with the possible exception of the fleshy
shrimp. Lastly, the participants agreed that the study of genetic diversity could be
aided by the compilation of a list of links to genetic data bases around the Yellow
Sea that were not included in the more common genetic databases such as that
hosted by the IUCN. The PMO is compiling a list of websites sent in by participants
and will construct a webpage that will be distributed to the participants' institutions.
This will also be available on the project website.
3.5 Ecosystem
Component
3.5.1 Ocean colour algorithm development
46.
As already mentioned in Section 2.3, this activity was initiated in 2007, with 2
workshops already convened in ROK and Japan to first examine the available data,
then to start improving on existing algorithms, or developing a new regional one.
Validation of some algorithms was discussed. At the time of preparing this report,
activity members had agreed to contribute more data so that the validation of
algorithms could be more robust.
47.
A third and final workshop will be held in January 2008, where the final product will
be delivered. Additional participant(s) from China who are also working in ocean
colour, but who are not part of the core members, are planning to attend, to examine
how this activity might expand its collaboration to include other relevant scientists
and research groups. This is yet another example of the success of this activity both
in the technical context, as well as for regional co-operation.
3.5.2 Primary productivity estimation
48.
This activity has just gotten underway, and aims to provide basin-scale estimation of
primary production as a potential baseline figure, and develop a regional algorithm
for long-term monitoring. The results will useful for higher trophic level productivity
estimation and also identify areas that management could target to maintain
acceptable productivity levels. An FRRF is being manufactured, and will be used for
in-situ measurements in 2008. The proposed outputs of the activity include monthly
and annual primary productivity maps and inter-annual variability of primary
productivity in the Yellow Sea.

A plankton survey was carried out by FIO in April 2006, using the CPR, with a final
report showing data on temperature, salinity, DO, pH, fluorescence, and
phytoplankton & zooplankton abundance. The fronts for some oceanographic
variables was observed. The results of this activity were reported at the 4th RWG-E
Meeting where members agree that further surveys were needed, and perhaps can
be carried out during the co-operative cruise. Some results from the survey are
shown in Figures 8-10, which were borrowed from the activity report.

3.6.1 Data quality assurance - Inter-calibration exercises (nutrients,
metals, organics)
50.
The second round for "Nutrients in Seawater Inter-calibration" activity was completed.
The same four labs from China and three labs from ROK that participated in Round 1,
continued with the activity by analyzing nutrient concentration of certified reference
materials (ammonia, filterable reactive phosphorus, nitrate, nitrite, silicates) obtained
from a lab in Australia contracted to implement the activity. The Queensland Health
Scientific Services, Australia, co-ordinated the activity on behalf of the Yellow Sea
Project, by supplying the reference materials to each lab, collecting and analysing the
results, and preparing the final reports containing the summary results and
recommendations for future improvement. Similar to Round 1 carried out in 2006,
the results from Round 2 also were very good, with a high acceptance rate of the
results, with nearly all labs meeting the acceptable level for all nutrients.
51.
Inter-calibration exercises for metals and organic compounds in sediment and biota
started in 2007 with participation by 4 labs in China for both metals and organics
analyses, 4 labs from ROK for each metals and organics analyses. The IAEA-MEL
co-ordinated the activity, by supplying the reference materials to each lab, and
collecting and analysing the results. Full results of these exercises will be available in
December 2007. However, preliminary data submitted from a few labs showed that
the results are very good, with most labs achieving the acceptance levels.
52.
Although the results were good, participating labs still had some minor problems, and
would like to improve their capacity in these chemical analyses (Fig. 11). Further
inter-calibration activities are planned for 2008.

3.6.2 Inter-calibration summary workshop
53.
An inter-calibration summary workshop was held from 8-10 October 2007 in Jeju
(Fig, 12). The objectives of the workshop were to:
· Review and summarise the two nutrient inter-calibration exercises organised
by YSLME and QHSS.
· Review results-to-date for metals & organics inter-calibration exercise.
· Assess the degree of comparability of the results obtained by the participating
labs.
· Exchange experiences on and lessons learned from problems related to
analytical chemistry, and to apply lessons learned to future work.
54.
Participants presented their results, SOPs, QA/QC methods, problems encountered,
and exchanged ideas on improving analytical skills, such as methods for validating
data, precision data, repeatability, reproducibility, bias, and uncertainty. The co-
ordinators for the exercises participated in the workshop to make recommendations
to participants on improving analytical skills, and obtain information from participants
on technical and capacity gaps in their laboratories.
55.
Participants requested the PMO to consider hosting another summary workshop in
late 2008/early 2009 to review results of the next rounds of the exercise.

3.7.1 Yellow Sea Partnership, including YSP Session at EAS Congress
56.
One of the highlights of the YSP activities was the "Yellow Sea Partnership for
Enhanced Public Awareness and Participation" session which was organised in the
East Asian Sea Congress, Haikou, China, 12-16 December 2006. This event
focused on how public awareness and participation activities undertaken through the
joint efforts of partners can reach out to a wider stakeholdership. The session shared
experiences of the various partner's public awareness activities, and also how to
improve the function of the partnership for the benefit of the entire Yellow Sea region.
57.
Another highlight was the second YSP Workshop, hosted by NOWPAP that was
organised in Busan, ROK, 1st October 2007. The meeting reviewed the completed
and on-going co-operative activities, discussed co-operative activities from 2007 and
onwards, and discussed the management mechanism of the YSP. The Project
assisted NOWPAP in organising this annual meeting by providing ideas on meeting
agenda, joint activities, and administrative mechanism. All the partners attended the
workshop with their own budget.
58.
The Workshop agreed to exchange further information for joint activities in 2008, host
regular meetings by rotation, and use both the YSP logo (Fig. 13) and each
organisation's logo on the organisation's
publications. The next Workshop will be held back-
to-back with the meeting of Ramsar Convention in
Changwon, ROK, from 28 October to 4 November
2008.

Communication. It should be noted that the co-operation between WWF and the
Project under the YSP successfully resulted in the second phase of
"WWF/KORDI/KEI Yellow Sea Eco-Region Planning Programme," now called
YSESP. The Project provided the WWF with ideas on the implementation structure
of YSESP, the demonstration activities to protect habitats in the Yellow Sea, and the
small-scale grant programme. The two projects--YSLME and YSESP--will actively
collaborate so as to produce maximum outputs from their activities. For example, the
timing and sites of demonstration activities implemented under those two projects will
be co-ordinated well in advance, and the data and information collected through the
demonstrations will be mutually shared. As a result, both projects will make their
activities more efficient and effective, eliminating unnecessary duplication. For more
information about the co-operation with YSESP, see Section 7.3 in this report.

Following the success of the Youth Programme in ROK, 2006, in co-operation with
the Liaoning Fisheries Research Institute, the Dandong Ocean & Fisheries Bureau,
and the Liaoning Province Ocean & Fisheries Bureau, the Project organised the
second Youth Programme in Dandong, China, from 11-12 August 2007 to provide
youth in the region with opportunities to deepen their understanding of environmental
issues in the Yellow Sea. About 50 students (aged 12-16) from Dandong #6 Middle
School and their two teachers participated in this activity (Fig. 14).
61.
The Programme consisted of two components: lecture session and hands-on activity
session. In the first session, regional experts provided indoor lectures on the Yellow
Sea's ecosystem, and the second session, the participants conducted field activities
of cleaning marine litter, releasing juvenile puffer fish stocks into the sea, and visiting
the Donggang National Nature Reserve located in Yalu River estuary.
62.
Amway International and Amway Dandong Office sponsored the hands-on activities
and visit to the Dongang Nature Reserve. Over 30 Amway staff participated in the
event, as they also wished to improve their understanding on marine environmental
problems and potential solutions. This is a success story to involve the private sector
into project activities.
63.
China Central Television's main station, CCTV-1, reported the event during the 7PM
news, one of the main news broadcasts. China Ocean News also wrote an article
about the event. Those news reports--the video clip and the newspaper article--are
available online in the Project's website at http://www.yslme.org/.

3.7.3 Involvement of local government
64.
The "Second Training Workshop for Local Government Officers" was organised in
Qingdao, China, from 10 to 12 July 2007 with the theme of "Marine Spatial Planning:
How to Manage the Sea and Coast?" The workshop focused on the Marine Spatial
Planning approach, and provided the participants with an opportunity to gain practical
skills to address coastal development issues in a holistic manner, which might greatly
affect the environment as well as society. Through lectures, case studies, and group
discussions, the participants deepened their understanding about the processes and
techniques of managing marine and coastal resources in order to not only secure
their valuable ecosystem, but also promote sustainable use of the resources.
65.
Eighteen local government officials from the Yellow Sea's coastal provinces and
cities: eight officials from China and ten officials from ROK attended the workshop.
Scholars with expertise in marine functional zoning, coastal sea protection, and sea
use management were invited as lecturers from prominent governmental and
academic institutions in China.
3.7.4 Involvement of parliamentary organisations
66.
As reported in the Project Manager's Report during the third RSTP/PSC meeting
(Jeju, ROK, 20-24 November 2006), the Parliamentary Conference, held in Qingdao,
China, March 2006, received considerable attention from the international community
because this meeting was the first event in GEF projects where the parliamentarians
addressed transboundary environmental issues. GEF/IW:LEARN published a
document about this activity, to disseminate the lessons learned from its
implementation to a wide range of audiences (GEF/IW:LEARN [2006]. International
Waters Experience Note, 1 [available at http://www.iwlearn.net/]).
67.
Given the successful implementation of the Parliamentary Conference and the
agreement made by its participants, the "Regional Conference on Protection of the
Marine Environment and Sustainable Use of Marine Resources in the Yellow Sea"
was organised as a follow-up meeting of the Parliamentary Conference in Incheon,
ROK, 11-13 October 2007. With prominent regional scientists as well as
representatives from national and municipal assemblies in China and ROK invited,
the Regional Conference focused on socio-economic aspects of the Yellow Sea's
ecosystem, such as legislation, economy, and public awareness. The conference
also explored the possibility and mechanism to secure continuous dialogue at the
highest level of decision-making among the two participating countries and other
relevant countries.
3.7.5 Voluntary Internship Programme
68.
The Project and Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS)
initiated the "Voluntary Internship Programme" in June 2007. The objective of the
Programme is to allow graduate students to voluntarily engage in hands-on
experiences in implementing international project activities. The Programme consists
of three activities:
· Introductory session on U.N. System and UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project;
· Participation in Project's international meetings and workshops; and
· Summary and reporting session.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 18
69.
Through the Programme, it is expected that the participants develop a basic
understanding of not only the managing marine ecosystem in a sustainable manner,
but also the procedure of implementing U.N. environmental projects.
70.
The first activity, the Introductory Session, was organised in the University's Seoul
campus with the participation of 17 Yonsei students as well as officials from GSIS,
UNDP-Seoul, and the Yellow Sea Project. For the second activity, the Yellow Sea
Project invited graduate students to the "Regional Conference." While the students
attended the Conference as observers, they greatly assisted in organising the
meeting smoothly by providing administrative supports and translation services.
After the Conference, the third activity was held, where the participating students
gave presentations on lessons learned from the internship and on suggestions for
improving both Project implementation and conservation activities in the Yellow Sea.
The interns suggested facilitating more co-operation in the region, NGO and youth
participation, and DPRK involvement in the Project activities. The interns also
recommended strengthening the Voluntary Internship Programme to encourage
more participation from university students in the Project.
3.7.6 Internship
Programme
71.
To provide an opportunity for young government officers and young scientists to
become intimately familiar with the operational procedures of United Nations'
international projects, the Project invited two interns to this year's "Internship
Programme." The interns were selected by National Project Co-ordinators.
Stationed in the PMO, those interns assist in implementing various activities under
the Project. For example, the interns help the Project Manager and Programme
Officers organise international meetings, draft meeting documents, and review
output reports from contracted work.
72.
An intern with training in political science, invited from KORDI, currently serves his
six-month internship in the PMO. Another intern from Ocean University of China,
who has expertise in legal issues, is expected to start her internship in December
2007.
3.7.7 Small Grants Programme
73.
Out of six organisations funded by the Small Grants Programme in 2006, the
following four organisations successfully completed their activities, while the other
two contractors are currently preparing their final reports.
· Citizens' Institute for Environmental Studies, ROK, facilitated knowledge and
information exchange among local residents in the area affected by large-
scale reclamation and development.
· Dalian Maritime University, China, mobilised university students to educate
local communities on coastal and marine ecosystem.
· Liaoning Ocean and Fishery Department, China, reached out to a number of
local stakeholders, including school children, businessmen, and other
residents by offering, for example, environmental education courses, business
seminars, street-level educational campaigns, and drawing and essay
contests.
· Shihwa Lake Saver, ROK, trained school teachers to prepare environmental
education courses at local schools, providing technical support for developing
curriculum and educational materials (Fig. 15).

The Project will publish a summary report of the Programme in early 2008, compiling
the process and results of all the projects completed in 2007.
75.
Following the successful implementation of the Small Grants Programme in 2006,
the Project decided to fund six projects under the Programme in 2007. The
proponents of six funded projects, selected from 14 submitted proposals by the
External Review Panel, include university, local government, and local
environmental NGO. Table 1 shows the projects funded under the Small Grants
Programme in 2007.

3.7.8 Data and information management
76.
In 2006, the Project in co-operation with the China-Korea Joint Ocean Research
Center (CKJORC), established the regional GIS and meta databases, located in the
CKJORC, to facilitate the effective data and information management in the region.
Entrusted by the Third RSTP Meeting, the Project contracted the CKJORC again in
2007 to assume the main responsibility of conducting the operation and
maintenance of the regional GIS and meta databases, considering the Center's
expertise and experience in this field.
77.
The databases have been established in CKJORC, with linkages with relevant
global, regional and national databases. The databases need to be improved in
structure and formats, and enhancing system functions for easy inquiry and
presentation of the data and information. With necessary arrangements and
improvements made, the regional databases (equipped with spatial-information
technologies to store, manage, and display multi-source and heterogeneous data
and information) are expected to offer users a "one-stop shopping" service, enabling
them to access enormous quantity of data at various regional data centres by
providing data sharing functions such as metadata query, data query, and map-
based query. The databases will provide, as much as possible, the relevant data and
information regarding the Yellow Sea from relevant data sources.
78.
The mirror sites of the databases should be located in ROK and PMO; the location in
ROK will be decided after NPC for ROK finishes co-ordination and consultation with
relevant agencies.
3.7.9 Guidelines for cost-benefit analysis of management actions
79.
The PMO prepared guidelines for economic analysis of management actions, which
explain how to value environmental quality and how to measure costs and benefits
of the actions (Fig. 16). Specifically, the guidelines define the "value" of ecosystem
in economic terms, explain the concept of "negative externality," and provide
possible valuation techniques based on internationally recognised literature. The
guidelines also outline a multiple-step procedure for cost-benefit analysis of the
management actions, including net present value calculation and sensitivity analysis.
A draft report of the Project's mid term evaluation mentioned that,
"This is a first attempt to develop guidance for GEF projects to incorporate
economic aspects into environmental decision-making, in particular for SAP
development. . . . The Guidelines should not only help assess the economic
impact of recommended
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 21
management actions for the
Yellow Sea, but also serve as
guidance for economic analyses in
other GEF projects."
80.
The guidelines will be used as a
reference to assess, as case studies,
the economic feasibility of some
proposed management actions in the
SAP. The guidelines will also be
used for selected demonstration
activities to check their efficiency and
appropriateness.
Figure 16. Cost-benefit analysis of management
action.
3.7.10 Regional governance analysis
81.
The Project conducted a Regional Governance Analysis in co-operation with the
Center for International Law and Policy of Myongji University to understand the
underlying root causes of the Yellow Sea's ecosystem problems through analysis of
the political environment and to provide the basic foundation for identifying possible
future interventions as part of the preparative work for the development of the SAP.
82.
The Analysis examined stakeholders, international co-operative mechanisms,
legislative status in the participating countries, and institutional arrangements in the
context of the Yellow Sea. Based on those examinations, the Analysis then
recommended creating "a YS LME Commission as a central mechanism to address
the [environmental] issues identified" in the Yellow Sea (Chung, 2007, Draft Report
of Regional Governance Analysis, clause 188). The YSLME Commission, "a soft,
non-legally binding, cooperation based institution" (ibid, clause 192), is expected to
facilitate the SAP implementation and to secure a sustainability of conservation
efforts in the Yellow Sea."
3.7.11 National co-ordination and implementation
83.
Project implementation at national level was carried out by the NPCs in each
country. The NPCs nominated participants to workshops and meetings, and also
attended some project activities. Details on national co-ordination and
implementation can be found in the NPC's reports (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/5a-b).
3.7.12 Report Writing Workshop for Environmental Practitioners
84.
The Project organised the "Proposal and Report Writing Workshop for Environmental
Practitioners: Keys to Effective Writing" in Ansan, ROK, 22-23 October 2007, to
strengthen the capacity of government agencies and research organisations to
prepare high-quality proposals and reports for securing the integrity and
sustainability of environmentally-related research activities that the organisations
implement. Eighteen professionals who deal with marine and coastal management
participated in the Workshop: ten from China and eight from ROK. A professor from
a university in USA was invited to serve as the workshop lecturer. The lecturer has
expertise in freshwater and estuarine wetlands ecology and a proven track record of
publishing dozens of peer-reviewed journal papers.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 22
85.
The workshop, consisting of lectures and hands-on exercises, covered how to write
effective proposals, research papers, and abstracts. The lectures described tips for
writing proposals, including proposal organisation, experimental design and
statistics, and presentation of data (figures and tables). The hands-on exercises
illustrated how to present data as figures and tables and how to organise and list
references (in-text citations and bibliographic list). Tips for writing a research paper,
including the structure of the paper, composing the abstract and use of SI units,
were also covered. A writing exercise to compose abstracts for presentations,
proposals and research papers was conducted as part of the hands-on exercises.
3.8
Cross Component Issues
3.8.1 First Regional Science Conference
86.
The "First Yellow Sea Regional Science Conference" was organised in Hangzhou
(14-16 August 2007) in association with China Ocean News and State Oceanic
Administration's Second Institute of Oceanography. The conference consisted of
presentations focusing on the current knowledge of the ecosystem's provisioning,
regulating, and cultural services. Oral presentations and posters explained the
status of the services with respect to fisheries, mariculture, biodiversity, pollution,
and overall ecosystem structure and function. The presentations also provided
scientific information and suggestions on how to manage the Yellow Sea in order for
the ecosystem to continue providing its services. Natural and social science topics
were presented, such as educational issues and public awareness and participation.
The conference allowed scientists to exchange knowledge, learn experiences from
other regions, and obtain an update on Yellow Sea's ecosystem status (Figs. 17-20).

87.
All together, there were 3 Keynote Speeches, 19 Invited Speakers, and 10
Contributing Speakers. The poster exhibition contained posters displayed by 10
groups of authors, including the PMO, local government officers, NGOs, and young
scientists. The Question and Answer session and Discussion period on the oral
presentations saw active participation from the audience in asking clarification,
providing suggestions and general lively talks about the presentations.
88.
During the conference summary given by the Chairperson of the Conference
Organising Committee, participants were asked to contribute ideas for:
· future directions in management of the physical, chemical and biological
environments;
· enhancement of cultural services; and
· incorporation of legislative, political and institutional issues into management.
89.
Some of these ideas were considered and incorporated by the SAP Ad-hoc Working
Group as possible management actions to be included in the SAP.
90.
The conference provided a forum for scientists from within and beyond the region to
exchange views and information and to build up co-operation amongst each other.

IWC-4
91.
At the GEF IWC-4 Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, 31 July 3 August 2007,
the Project organised an exhibition with the focus on the Parliamentary Conference.
Displaying publications, newsletters, posters, and promotional items for raising public
awareness, the Project's exhibition booth attracted a number of visitors from around
the world who attended the IWC-4 (Figs. 21-22). A short video depicting the
Parliamentary Conference was shown in the booth and was introduced at this GEF
meeting's film show.

3.9 Co-operative
Cruises
92.
Following the instruction from the last PSC meeting, the PMO continued to facilitate
negotiation on the co-operative cruises. The Project Manager organised several
individual discussions and negotiations with the governments and experts of the
participating countries on this important issue. Several informal meetings were
organised with participation of the relevant experts and governmental officers.
93.
At the time this report was prepared, initial agreements had been reached, and had
been submitted for the final approval of the participating governments, according to
the relevant national regulations.
94.
It is expected that the winter cruise would be organised from 5-25 January 2008.
Upon receiving the final approval, a technical meeting will be organised prior to the
cruise to discuss technical details.
3.10 Mid-Term
Evaluation
95.
As planned in the Project Document approved by the GEF Council, and the workplan
approved by the PSC, a mid-term evaluation was implemented, guided by UNDP
Office in Korea. Dr. Alan Fox and Dr. Ong Jin-Eong were assigned to carry out this
task (Fig. 23).
96.
The purpose of the Mid-Term Evaluation was to examine the performance of the
project since the beginning of its implementation. The review included both the
evaluation of the progress in project implementation, measured against planned
outputs set forth in the Project Document in accordance with rational budget
allocation, and the assessment of features related to the process involved in
achieving those outputs, as well as the initial and potential impacts on the project.
"The Mid-term Evaluation Report (MTE report) constituted the combined
outcome of a literature review and evaluation mission, including a series of interviews
of selected stakeholders from ROK and China carried out in August 2007. The
evaluation was carried out on behalf of UNDP and UNOPS, the project's
implementing and executing agencies, respectively.
A review of work plans and budget documents, coupled with interviews of
stakeholders and the project team gave evidence that the YSLME project
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 26
management office (PMO) is well-managed and includes an experienced and
effective project team. Appropriate financial and project management structures
have been set in place based on GEF/UNDP/UNOPS guidelines. Expectations for a
well-functioning Project Steering Committee (PSC) Regional Science and
Technology Panel, and Regional Working Groups (RWGs) have been fulfilled. The
PMO is working with an accomplished array of scientists and managers in key
institutions in China and ROK.
The project has chalked up some notable achievements, in particular the
completion and approval of the TDA, and successful efforts to engage
parliamentarians from both countries. The project has also faced some setbacks,
most notably an inability of the partner countries to agree on the scope of activities to
be carried out during a planned cooperative cruise, even there are positive signs in
the negotiation. At the halfway point, roughly 1/3 of the project budget has been
utilised.
A great opportunity may be presented in the near future to expand the Yellow
Sea partnership to include the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Within UNDP/GEF-approved parameters and timeframes, the project team and
partner countries should make every effort to engage the DPRK as a full and active
partner in the YSLME. The partner countries should also consider establishing a
Yellow Sea Commission and Secretariat, to serve as the frame for future joint efforts
and international support."1
97.
The final report of Mid-Term evaluation is listed as one of the information documents
for this meeting.

3.11 Internal
Auditing
98.
In October, following the request from UNDP-Seoul Office, the PMO was audited by
Deloitte Anjin LLC that was nominated by UNOPS headquarter as an internal auditor.
The result of overall assessment was "Satisfactory" out of 3 categories which were
satisfactory, partially satisfactory, and unsatisfactory. The audit area and scope
were general organisation, treasury, fixed asset, purchasing, human resources &
payroll, financial reporting, travel and other expenses for 2004 to September 2007.

99.
The executive level observations were as follows: "In general, the operations and
management of the Project Office are well controlled, with some control
weaknesses/opportunities for improvement." There were some minor points for
improvement stated in the report of the internal audit, mainly for purchasing goods.
PMO agreed with those minor recommendations, and will soon implement some of
the relevant recommendations.
4
INVOLVEMENT OF DPR KOREA IN THE PROJECT
100. During the last PSC meeting, this issue was discussed, and the meeting agreed 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." However, due to the fact that the
operation of UNDP in DPRK was stopped in May 2007, it was not possible to
continue the visit.
101. Efforts to involve DPRK in the project have continued. The Project Manager had a
meeting with a DPRK government official in Dalian, China, on 10 August 2007.
Following the exchange of views on the involvement of DPRK in the project, it was
agreed that before a final decision is made by the PSC, some co-operative activities
should be carried out under a bi-lateral framework, including:
· Collecting PCs and some analytical equipment to be used by the institutions
of DPRK through a Chinese NGO;
· Organising a marine pollution monitoring training in China funded by bilateral
resources; and
· Organising a training course on mariculture techniques in China funded by
bilateral resources.
102.
The implementation of these activities is currently being planned.
5 FINANCIAL
REPORT
103. Since
2007's
3rd quarter, the project began using the Atlas system at the buyer level,
which is the main ERP system of UNOPS headquarter to create and maintain POs
on a quarterly basis. Access to Atlas helps maintain a higher level of accuracy for
the figures in the BRIO report.
104.
UNOPS decided to move another step forward in setting up the project with an Atlas
account, such that PMO will manage many of its own transactions through to actual
payment rather than just the PO. Right now, UNOPS is processing an Atlas account
for the PMO.
105. Due to many of the transactions through Imprest being increased in value, the
project's Imprest level of local currency was increased from U$30,000 to U$70,000
equivalent.
106.
The expenditure report for 2007 is attached as Appendix II.

110. Mr. Mark Walton, new Environment Officer in charge of Fisheries and Biodiversity
components, joined the project in January 2007 as successor to Mr. Jeff Archer who
resigned from the project.
111. Mr. Walton holds a PhD in mangrove rehabilitation and fisheries productivity from the
University of Wales, Bangor, UK. He has worked in fisheries management and
aquaculture in Asia and Central America.
Internship Programme
112. Mr. Seong Hwan Pae and Ms. Wei Yan successfully completed their internship in
2006. This year, Mr. Yunil Kim joined the project on 1st October as the new intern
from Republic of Korea. Ms. Yu Ming from China is expected to join the project in
December 2007. The PMO is pleased to host 2 interns as planned, although there
was some delay in the selection and arrival the interns. The interns will assist with
organisation of at least one Regional Working Group Meeting and enhance their
skills to work in an international project through assisting the Project Manager and
Programme Officers with activity implementation.
6.3
Project Website, Partnership Website, E-Discussion Group and
Newsletter
113. After three years of operation, the project website www.yslme.org continues to run
smoothly. The aim of "information dissemination" is fully sufficient and works as a
linkage among the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea members. It disseminates background
information about the project, the staff and partners, the latest news on
implementation, project reports and meeting documents, and relevant stories about
the Yellow Sea.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3

manage website; and (2) Utilize the internet based GIS Map server and standards for
information exchange. The biggest benefit of the website is that the partners can
update their news and schedule by themselves with provided ID and Password so it
reduces the YSLME PMO's work load. The right side of the main page shows news
from the Yellow Sea partners and the main section automatically produces real time
news on the Yellow Sea from GOOGLE.COM, using RSS technique and shows a
GIS map of the sea.

118. A Temporary Finance Assistant was hired to replace Ms. Kyungsuk Lee who was on
maternity leave for 4 months from Feb to May 2007. Ms. Kyungyun Lim joined the
PMO on 10 January 2007, and managed the project's accounting and assisted with
administrative issues.
119. Language Exchange Programme: PMO continued the lessons to share the basic
communication skill in English, Chinese, Korea and Spanish with PMO staffs and
KORDI on a regular basis.
120. New posters: PMO produced 4 new posters indicating the environmental problems in
each component, diagram for handling the problems, and achievements of public
awareness such as Yellow Sea Partnership, Local Government Training, Youth
Programme, Small Grants Programme, Internship Programme, and Parliamentary
Conference. The posters were displayed at GEF IW4 and the Regional Science
Conference in Hangzhou.

121. Entry visa to ROK and China: With strong support from Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and Trade in Korea and State Oceanic Administration in China, PMO facilitated the
visa process for the meeting participants. Following extensive discussion with
relevant organisation, it seems not possible to issue a re-entry visa for the experts of
the projects, according to the national regulation.

CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS AND PROJECTS
7.1
Exchange of Memorandum on Co-operation
122. The Yellow Sea Project has been actively seeking partnership with relevant
organisations not only participating governments and their affiliated agencies, but
also regional projects, NGOs, and universities to pursue more effective conservation
activities.
123. During and since the 3rd PSC Meeting, the Project signed an MOU with the following
organisations:
· IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (IOC/WESTPAC) on 23
November 2006;
· UNDP/GEF Project on "Biodiversity Management in the Coastal Area of
China's South Sea (SCCBD)" on 13 December 2006;
· Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies on 8 March 2007;
· Myongji University on 19 June 2007; and
· Oceanic and Fisheries Administration of Shandong Province, China, on 6
August 2007.
124. The Project also signed a Letter of Co-operation (LOC) with PEMSEA on 16
December 2006, and an LOC with NOWPAP RCU on 24 May 2007.
125. The MOUs and LOCs state the partnership between the Project and the
organisations mentioned above, specifying activities and focal areas to collaborate
on.
126. The MOU signed on 7 March 2005 between the Project and the WWF/KORDI/KEI
Yellow Sea Eco-Region Planning Programme was reviewed; then, the "Review
Document and Future Implementation of Complementary Activities" was exchanged
between the two projects on 25 June 2007. With current and future co-operative
activities examined, the Review Document describes: (i) potential areas for co-
operation; (ii) co-operation mechanism; and (iii) major areas for future co-operation.
7.2
Co-operation with NOWPAP in Marine Litter Issues
127. The Project has been strengthening co-operation with NOWPAP in a variety of areas,
especially in the area of marine litter. Programme Officers of the PMO contributed to
International Coastal Cleanup Campaigns that NOWPAP organised in Rizhao, China,
June 2007 and in Busan, ROK, September 2007 by giving presentations, attending
panel discussions as panelists, and conducting coastal cleanup.
128. Those contributions not only enhanced collaboration between the two international
projects, but also provided opportunities for the Project to expand its partnerships to
relevant organisations such as local NGOs in China and ROK.

7.3
Synergy with WWF on Selection of Demonstration Projects and Small
Grants
129. During a meeting, between Mr. Tobai of WWF and Mr. Jiang and Mr. Walton of
YSLME at the PMO in February 2007, a list of complementary activities was drawn
up.
130. The meeting produced a review document of the future implementation of joint
activities which included three sections: potential areas for co-operation; co-
operation mechanisms; and major areas for future co-operation. Important future co-
operation will involve representation at both projects' PSC meetings, attendance of
WWF personnel at SAP Ad-Hoc meetings and RWG-B meetings. WWF will
continue to review YSLME small grants proposals and YSLME will assist in the
reviewing of the proposals for small grants offered by the new WWF/YSESP project,
which will be aimed at the protection of endangered and endemic species, one of the
priority problems identified in the TDA.
131. WWF and YSLME have already adopted a common planning framework for the
protection of habitats in the Yellow Sea. To assist in the selection of suitable sites
for the demonstration of SAP management actions, WWF will perform an
assessment of MPA/national nature reserve management effectiveness, with the
results used in conjunction with the report from the contracted Biodiversity Advisors.
This report will identify the best examples of RAMSAR habitats located in the Yellow
Sea.
132. Finally, WWF and YSLME have agreed that a single SAP drafted by the YSLME
project will be used for the protection of biodiversity and habitats in the Yellow Sea.
The WWF have already provided considerable input into the SAP, attending all the
YSLME SAP meetings to date.
7.4
Proposed Wetland Meeting with Other UNDP/GEF Funded Projects
133.
A meeting was proposed on "Exchanging experiences in biodiversity protection in
coastal wetlands" between the UNDP/GEF funded projects in the region. Other
important projects and NGO's involved in wetland protection are also to be invited to
participate in the meeting. The objectives of the meeting are to:
i) Promote the exchange of information between the projects, and update each
other on the progress and scheduled events;
ii) Share experiences and lessons in implementing project activities in wetland
protection and management, including public awareness and capacity
building activities;
iii) Explore possibilities of co-operation and co-ordination of the relevant project
activities to improve effectiveness and maximize benefits of project
implementation; and
iv) Prepare, if applicable, a joint workplan and/or activities for better protection
and management of coastal wetlands in the region.
134. An invitation of interest was sent out to UNDP offices in China and ROK and WWF
on 28th September 2007. Participants have suggested a meeting during the first
quarter of 2008.

CHALLENGES TO PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
135. After over two years of project implementation, there seems to be improvement with
fewer challenges faced during project implementation. To continuing smooth project
implementation, national and regional co-ordination must continue to be efficient and
effective to ensure that the project's SAP objective is met.
136. In order to ensure successful project implementation in the remaining 2 years, it is
critical that challenges in improved national and regional co-ordination are addressed
now. The RSTP and PSC are requested to pay attention to these challenges, to take
action to eliminate them, or at least lessen their negative impacts on implementation.
The challenges to project implementation are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. Challenges to project implementation.

government agencies should be strengthened, especially since
SAP will be submitted for approval in the middle of next year.

implementation), it would be more effective and beneficial to the
region if additional institutions, especially NGOs, have long-term
involvement in the project. It should be noted that expanding
long-term participation to more institutions, 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

RWG membership
somewhat unstable with membership changes, although there
was improvement in 2007. Consistent membership will lead to
better understanding of the project for the individual, and also for
the affected project component. Stable membership can help the
implementation of project activities.
Lack of institutional
While a stable membership of most RWGs has happened, the
incentives
issue of lack of incentives has not been solved. It was reported
that some RWG members were unwilling to attend RWG meetings
because of lack of 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

Contracted parties need to maintain a sense of urgency in order to

Agreements made for future meeting dates need to be observed.
This year, only one RWG had its meeting during its previously
agreed dates. The shifting of dates creates unnecessary extra

various meetings
these meetings should be addressed and acted upon, to minimize
delay in project implementation. Postponing activities is not and
efficient way for implementation.
More attention
The implemented activities should produce useful results that
should be given to
meet the project's objectives and contribute to better management
the quality of project of the YS ecosystem. It is preferred to spend a little more time to
deliveries
find a good contractor that will produce good results, rather than
focus on spending project money within the allotted time and
compromise the quality of project delivery.
139. As the project moves towards the approval of the SAP and potential implementation
of the SAP, the challenges above illustrate a need for a continued sense of
commitment by all parties to the project and a faithful and optimistic outlook that the
project, with an SAP in place, will indeed provide the expected benefits to the
region's marine environment.
140. Recommendations for future implementation to overcome the challenges are
described in Section 9.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION
141. Recommendations for future implementation to overcome the challenges listed in
Section 8 remain similar to previous years for the same challenges. Table 4 shows
the challenges, recommendations, and improvements from previous years.
142.
With the SAP under development, and potential for implementation starting within 3
year's time, it is not too early to develop a solid foundation to strengthen inter-
agency co-operation and co-operation with other stakeholders. The trust among all
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.4/3
Annex IV
Page 35
project partners and stakeholders seems to have improved, and should continue to
build in order to ensure widespread regional collaborative efforts to produce the best
possible results for the region's environmental management schemes. This,
compounded with respect for deadlines and wise-use of donor funds will sustain
good environmental protection and management of the Yellow Sea long into the
future.
143.
Some recommendations from the Mid-Term Evaluators are mentioned below.
YS Commission
144.
The "Regional Governance Analysis" proposed the establishment of a Yellow Sea
Commission and Secretariat to oversee the implementation of SAP and the
sustainability of the management actions until 2020. The MTE Draft Final Report
suggested that the costs and benefits and management mechanisms for establishing
a Yellow Sea Commission and Secretariat should be listed to allow consideration for
this option to be included in the SAP. "A Commission can enable the partner
countries to normalise their joint efforts and provide a long term repository for
bilateral and multilateral financial support.1"
Communications and Public Awareness Officer
145. The project has made advances in enhancing public awareness and participation
through the Yellow Sea Partnership. It is important for the other YS Partners to see
this initiative as also benefiting their specific activities and interests, so that it
becomes more of a mutually shared effort, and less of a YSLME-directed effort. The
MTE suggested to consider adding a communications expert for the PMO. This
person would take direct responsibility for public relations, web content, special
events, educational programmes, the Yellow Sea Partnership and the Small Grants
Programme. One or both of the partner countries could second a communications
expert for this effort, perhaps on a rotating basis.
146. Future YS Partnership activities should continue to expand private sector support
mechanisms, such as those already developed with Panasonic on the YSESP and
Amway international on the Dandong Youth Programme.
DPRK Involvement
147.
The MTR reiterated the importance of DPRK's full involvement in the project, "It is
vital to the long-term sustainability of the Yellow Sea ecosystem that the DPRK
becomes a partner in this regional effort." All project partners realise this issue and
should strive to find a solution whereby DPRK can become fully involved in the
project as soon as possible.
Project Extension
148. As mentioned in the 4th RWG-I Meeting Report, the members recommended the
consideration of a no-cost extension for the project before starting Phase 2. This
transition period would be used to prepare the initiation of Phase 2.
