OPENING OF THE MEETING

1.1 Welcome
addresses

1.
On behalf of UNDP and UNOPS, Mr. Yihang JIANG, Project Manager, welcomed all
participants to the meeting in Guangzhou, China, and described the work that
awaited the members of the 4th RSTP Meeting. Mr. Jiang mentioned that this year's
meeting includes participants from China, Republic of Korea (ROK), and Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as observer. He thanked all participants for their
contribution to project implementation, since the last meeting, which resulted in
substantive progress of the project. He also thanked the SOA South China Sea
Branch for local organisation of this year's meeting.

2.
Mr. Jiang also informed the meeting that the project had undergone its mid-term
evaluation earlier this year. The RSTP would need to discuss the plan of work for the
next year, considering that budget had been increased for SAP demonstration
activities. Mr. Jiang emphasised that next year is a critical period for the project, as it
would need to start planning the 2nd phase, and consider the recommendations of the
MTE and regional governance analysis, which include, amongst others, the
establishment of the Yellow Sea Commission (also known as YSLME Commission).

3.
On behalf of the Government of China and National Project Co-ordinator (NPC) for
China, Mr. Fengkui LIANG welcomed all participants to Guangzhou. He thanked all
scientists for their efforts which have allowed the project to make great progress and
achievements such as the TDA, SAP, finalisation of management actions, and the
co-operative cruise. Mr. Liang noted that with effective management of PMO, the
project had smoothly moved to a new phase to develop the SAP, which is one of the
most important tasks during these 2 years. Finally, Mr. Liang wished everyone a
pleasant stay and full success for the meeting.

4.
On behalf of the delegation of ROK, Mr. Hyung Tack HUH, the NPC of ROK,
welcomed all participants to the meeting, and thanked SOA for hosting the meeting,
and the PMO for organising the meeting. Mr. Huh noted that the project had been
implemented quite successfully since its inception, with the current year seeing the
SAP development well on its way with Ad-hoc and drafting groups established, and
management actions finalised. The NSAP, feasibility studies, and demonstration
activities were also ready for implementation. Mr. Huh also noted that the co-
operative cruise showed the genuine co-operative spirit of China and ROK. Finally,
Mr. Huh commended the RWG Chairpersons and all scientists for their contribution
to the project, and wished the meeting a successful and fruitful outcome.

5.
Mr. Chol NAM, on behalf of the delegation of DPRK, expressed his gratitude to all
participants for their encouragement on DPRK's involvement in the project. He
thanked the Project Manager for facilitating the process for DPRK to explore possible
ways to be involved in the project. His delegation's participation at the meeting
would provide a better understanding of the project for DPRK's future participation.
Mr. Nam wished the meeting would be a milestone for DPRK's future participation.

6.
On behalf of NOWPAP, Mr. Xiaodong ZHONG thanked the PMO and SOA for
inviting NOWPAP to the meeting. He informed the meeting that NOWPAP and
YSLME had co-operated in various activities and workshops, and expressed his
confidence that the co-operation will continue.

7.
On behalf of WWF-China Programme Office, Mr. Songlin WANG stated that the
YSESP Project sought to better understand the development of YSLME in order to

IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER
ORGANISATIONS AND PROJECTS

20.
Referring to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/4, 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.

21.
Mr. Jiang gave further details about each achievement as follows:

· 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.
· 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 cruises.
· 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
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.

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 4

· 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 satisfactory results for project
implementation and some recommendations that will help improve project
management.
· The PMO continued to issue quarterly newsletters to update the public on
project implementation.

22.
Some challenges to project implementation were mentioned, inter alia:

· 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)

23.
Mr. Jiang thanked KORDI for providing a larger office space for the PMO this year. A
new programme officer for fisheries and biodiversity components was hired; two
interns completed their tenure with the PMO; and 2 new interns have recently joined
the PMO.

FINANCIAL REPORT

24.
Mr. Jiang explained the 2007 Expenditure Report with and without the co-operative
cruises. He explained the rate of spending, activity implementation, and that some
savings resulted from the combination / revision of activities.

PROJECT'S MID-TERM EVALUATION

25.
Mr. Jiang informed the meeting that the MTE Report stated that the project's
progress and achievements were very satisfactory. The report gave special mention
to some results such as stock assessment, co-operation with YSESP, Ocean Colour
algorithm, Cost/Benefit Analysis, and the Public Awareness Strategy. The
achievement of planned objectives confirmed that the project is moving in the right

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 5

direction with the TDA completed and SAP started, and the Project Document's
expectations reasonably met.

26.
Attainment of outputs and activities are mostly well underway; sustainability is difficult
to gauge, but plans for the project's future have been discussed; stakeholder
participation sometimes was weak due to national realities, but PMO had made
efforts to engage more stakeholder involvement; project implementation approach
was done well; financial planning with the use of local/regional expertise was
commended. The MTE report also listed recommendations for technical and
management issues. The report is available from the PMO.

27.
Following the Project Manger's report, Mr. Liang gave his congratulatory remarks,
thanking the PMO for providing a comprehensive and informative report. He stated
that China was satisfied with the excellent job carried out by the PMO, and noted
some of the successful activities implemented in 2007. Regarding the MTE, he
stated his agreement with the report's findings that the project had been implemented
efficiently and effectively. Mr. Liang was confident that the project would be able to
fulfil all its objectives by applying the helpful suggestions from the MTE report.
Finally, he emphasised that DPRK's involvement would be an exemplary
achievement of the project.

28.
Mr. Huh joined China in congratulating the Project Manger and PMO on successful
project implementation. He stated that all could see that the project continues to be
well-managed and implemented with many achievements. While some setbacks
have occurred, they have been solved. Finally, Mr. Huh commended the Project
Manger on well-managing the project, and looked forward to seeing additional fruitful
results such as a successful SAP.

29.
Participants gave their feedback on the PM report:

· Mr. Quan WEN noted that many activities, workshops, and meetings were
successfully convened, and stated his satisfaction with project implementation.
· Mr. Zhu remarked that the project had progressed very well.

30.
Following the comments from the participants, the meeting adopted the report.

REPORTS OF THE NATIONAL PROJECT CO-ORDINATORS

31.
The NPCs from China and ROK presented their reports (UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/5a-b)
on the implementation of project activities at national level covering:

· Activities accomplished in 2007;
· Results
and
achievements;
· Difficulties/problems encountered in project implementation; and
· Suggestions for future work.

32.
Mr. Liang summarised that China had co-ordinated Chinese participants' involvement
in various project activities, promoted the involvement of local governments, and
continued with co-ordinating the co-operative study cruises. Mr. Liang highlighted
that a national SAP expert group had been established, and had held a domestic
meeting in March 2007. Local government agencies had applied for the Small
Grants Programme (SGP) to enhance stakeholder participation.

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 6

33.
Mr. Liang felt that there was a need for better co-ordination among ministries for SAP
approval, and more consultations with stakeholders should be carried out. He
emphasised the need for continued efforts to draft and finalise the SAP.
Enhancement of local government interest through trainings, Small Grants
Programme, and youth public awareness programmes should also continue.

34.
Mr. Jiang commented that in the past year, the NPC of China had helped the project
substantively on various fronts. There was a change in the NPC, but national co-
ordination was not negatively impacted by the change, illustrating that co-ordination
at national level was well-established. Local government participation had increased
greatly in YSLME and also in the YSESP Project. On behalf of PMO, Mr. Jiang
expressed his appreciation to all staff that helped with project implementation and felt
that the NSAP would be successfully accomplished with the continued involvement of
local government agencies.

35.
Mr. Huh reported on the activities related to SAP, co-operative cruises, and 4th RWG
meetings. He gave some details on the various activities in which ROK scientists
had participated, and stated that some university professors were now members of
RWGs. Mr. Huh highlighted the completion of data and information activity reports,
cruise sample sharing, and agreement on management targets and actions.

36.
Mr. Huh notified the meeting that more expertise and funding are needed for SAP
and NSAP finalisation. He also mentioned some difficulties in nominating delegation
members and a need for more government agencies' involvement.

37.
On behalf of the PMO, Mr. Jiang expressed his appreciation to the Governments of
China and ROK for their continuing assistance with project implementation. He
noted the difference in national co-ordination between China and ROK, and
expressed his gratitude to Dr. Huh who had expended great effort to overcome
difficulties in project implementation without the support of a national co-ordinating
office.

38.
The Chairperson thanked the NPCs for their national co-ordination efforts, and
expressed his confidence that the SAP finalisation at regional and national levels
would be successfully completed.

39.
Participants noted the information provided by the NPCs.

REPORT FROM CHAIRPERSONS OF THE REGIONAL WORKING GROUPS

6.1 Biodiversity

6.2 Ecosystem
6.3 Fisheries

6.4 Investment
6.5 Pollution


40.
The RWG Chairpersons were invited to give presentations on the outcomes from
their respective RWG's activities (UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/6a-e) and implementation of
project activities in their respective components. The Chairpersons mentioned:

· Activities implemented in 2007;
· Suggested future activities;
· Potential SAP demonstration activities; and

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 7

· Some limitations with project implementation.

41.
All Chairpersons reported on their group's contribution to SAP development ­ the
management targets, actions, and proposed demonstration activities ­ and
agreements from the 4th RWG Meetings.

42.
Additional details and discussion following each presentation is described below.

Biodiversity

43.
Ms. Young-Shil KANG summarised the outcomes from the 4th RWG-B Meeting held
in September 2007, and also mentioned that a gene pool workshop was convened to
discuss current status of genetic diversity research and management and protection
of genetic diversity. The workshop participants suggested to link genetic diversity
information on-line, and implement an activity on genetic diversity of restocking
Chinese fleshy shrimp, working with ROK and Chinese scientists.

44.
Mr. Jiang commended Ms. Kang in successfully taking over the Chairpersonship of
the RWG-B with effective activity implementation. He then went on to mention that
the RWG-B is working closely with YSESP in preparing a logical framework to guide
both project's similar activities. Mr. Mark WALTON was invited to give a brief
overview on the development of the framework, and informed the meeting on how to
select the habitats for protection, based on criteria related to the types, sizes and
management schemes. He provided some details on the data requirements in order
to assess the success of habitat management and protection.

45.
The PMO showed the joint workplan of YSLME and YSESP, while Mr. Jiang provided
further explanation on co-ordinating with other existing regional wetland/biodiversity
projects that could help strengthen all relevant projects' implementation.

46.
Mr. Songlin WANG clarified that the previous YSEPP Project considered only
biological factors to select the critical habitats. This final approach would build upon
the information in hand, and also consider policy issues such as marine functional
zoning.

47.
Mr. Quan WEN expressed RWG-P's desire to work together on some demonstration
activities to show the effects of pollutant reduction on biodiversity health. The
chairpersons of RWG-P and RWG-B were asked to discuss further with each other
how to develop such an activity and report back to the plenary after all RWG
Chairpersons' reports were presented.

Ecosystem

48.
Mr. Yoo reported on the activities of CPR survey, ocean colour, and issues and
questions arising from the presentations of the 1st RSC (Cold Water Mass, effects of
climate change, YS Warm Current, jellyfish bloom, energy flows in lower trophic
levels, food web interaction, basin-wide monitoring). He informed the meeting that it
was not possible to directly relate the group's issues to SAP's theme of ecosystem
services, and that there is a need for more basin-scale information to assess and
predict ecosystem status. The upcoming activity on primary productivity estimation
to develop a regional primary productivity algorithm for long-term use was introduced,
and highlighted as a possible YSLME contribution to other areas in the Western
Pacific region. The expansion of the OC activity to include other scientists would be
explored at the final OC Workshop in January 2008.

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 8

49.
Mr. Yoo suggested that one of the most important goals of the co-operative cruises
should be publication of scientific reports and papers. He recommended that future
support for annual workshops on OC algorithm development/validation should be
considered. He also emphasised that the goals of the cruises should also include
assessment of the state of pollution, assessment of the current status of YS
ecosystem change with respect to major environmental changes, and conducting
inter-comparison of China and ROK's data.

50.
Mr. Yoo clarified that the proposed demonstration activity on monitoring jellyfish
bloom would observe only the species that cause problems. Mr. Jiang suggested
that reporting cruise results could be handled in instalments, and was pleased to see
that the OC activity would try to include other OC scientists in the region.

Fisheries

51.
Mr. Xianshi JIN informed the meeting on suggested new activities. As the fisheries
component in the co-operative cruises was not yet approved, the RWG-F had
decided to use the funds for an activity to harmonise stock assessment methods
through a series of national surveys and expert consultations. The first survey
requests budget from the project while the 2nd cruise would be carried out depending
on available budget, or might reduce the number of cruise days.

52.
Other activities such as young scientist exchange programme and a regional
mariculture conference addressing disease, technology to reduce environment stress,
and ecosystem-based management were introduced.

53.
Mr. Wen requested sharing samples to analyse pollutants in fish tissues, and Mr. Yoo
wished to know what non-biological variables would be sampled. Mr. Jin replied that
the details of the activity and budget had to be finalised, and no immediate response
to the questions were given.

54.
Mr. Jiang stated that there were proposed SAP demonstration activities using cost-
benefit analysis to assess the effectiveness of some management actions, e.g. boat
buy-back programme.

Investment

55.
Mr. Mingyuan Zhu gave an overview of this component's many activities. He alerted
participants to the following recommendations from the 4th RWG-I Meeting:

· Continue Small Grant Programme in 2008 if budget is available.
· Consider the six-month extension of the project to 2010 (transition phase) in
order to prepare for the project's 2nd phase, i.e. SAP implementation.
· Improve the GIS and meta databases, including the administrative boundary
of the base map.
· The databases need a mirror site in ROK, with KORDI expressing willingness
to host this.
· The DIM training workshop should be replaced by a technical workshop to
discuss how to improve of the databases.
· The "Regional Governance Analysis Report" recommended the establishment
of a YSLME Commission.
· Increase the budget for SAP and NSAP preparation.

56.
There was extensive discussion and questions on the continuation of the SGP, with
some participants asking about the relationship between SGP and SAP
demonstration and also about the budget. Some participants suggested that the
SGP should be closely tied to SAP demonstration activities.

57.
Mr. Jiang explained that budget for new activities should be allocated if the activity is
deemed to be useful. Mr. Jiang also reminded participants that the objective of the
SGP is to provide additional funding opportunities for stakeholders that do not have
easy access to financial resources. He also reiterated that the SAP requires proper
involvement of all stakeholders, and the SGP is relevant in that it allows other
stakeholders to be involved in the project. The SGP would provide an opportunity for
NGOs to be involved in the project, as the project is currently unbalanced with mostly
scientist's participation.

58.
Following the discussion and explanation, the Meeting agreed to recommend
to PSC to extend the SGP for another year, given enough funds. The Meeting
also requested the PMO to come up with the theme for the next SGP.

59.
Regarding extending the project for a transition phase, Mr. Jiang explained that
GEF's 5th funding replenishment will start in July 2010, thus creating a 6 month gap
before the project can start its 2nd phase. He also explained that a no-cost extension
of the project for 6 months would more likely result in a smoother transition to Phase
2 with stable project staff. However, the GEF's decision cannot be immediately
made known, as the 2nd phase funding will be considered by GEF Council later. The
current information is that while the IW portfolio funding will be reduced, the
information given to the Project Manager during IW4 Conference was positive for the
project's 2nd phase. It is necessary to plan now for Phase 2.

60.
Ms. Anna TENGBERG assured the meeting that there would be GEF resources for
Phase 2, but might be of a slightly different nature, as the GEF's new direction will
concentrate on multi-focal areas projects. Thus, the project might have to draw
resources from other GEF focal areas in addition to IW. Ms. Tengberg suggested to
tailor phase 2 as an integrated and multi-sectoral project.

61.
Finally, Mr. Jiang informed the meeting that ROK would no longer be eligible for GEF
funding in Phase 2, according to its current status, but China and DPRK would still be
eligible. Regarding the concern on inadequate funds, Mr. Jiang enlightened the
meeting that GEF provides only incremental funds to solve transboundary
environmental problems, and that countries should provide co-financing.

62.
The Meeting agreed to recommend to PSC to consider having a 6-month
project transition phase in 2010.

Pollution

63.
Mr. Quan WEN gave a detailed explanation of the results from the nutrients, metals,
and organics inter-calibration exercises. KORDI and NMEMC returned good results
which gives confidence that the co-operative cruises samples will be properly
analysed by these institutes. Mr. Wen and Mr. Dong-Beom YANG ensured that
QA/QC procedures would be properly followed; therefore, there should not be any
problems with the results. In addition, samples from 5 stations would be used for
inter-comparison.

Cross Component Issues

64.
Ms. Kang reported on the results of the discussion with Mr. Wen and Mr. Yang to
implement a cross component demonstration activity. It was suggested that the
management action to demonstrate would be to reduce pollution in and around
critical habitats with the following actions:

· Control total quantity of pollutants discharge;
· Share the data of pollutants in/around critical habitats;
· Provide an assessment on the pollution problems in/around critical habitats;
and
· Monitor and assess the critical habitats / share data and information between
the two working groups.

65.
At this time, the meeting felt that this cross-component activity was worth considering
for implementation.

66.
Mr. Jiang reported to the meeting that the PMO was aware of the view of some that
there were too many meetings; however, the budget portion for activities is still much
higher than for meetings. Sometimes it is impossible to avoid meetings in order to
reach agreement on certain issues. Meetings may also provide guidance for
implementation, e.g. the RSC was the catalyst for RWG-E to propose a
demonstration activity on jellyfish monitoring. In 2007, only 9% of the total budget
was used for meetings, and the portion for 2008 is 4%.

67.
Participants noted the information provided by the RWG Chairpersons, and
agreed on the recommendations raised by them for this meeting to decide on.
All previous decisions were already made in each project component.

REGIONAL GOVERNANCE ANALYSIS

68.
On behalf of Mr. Suh-Yong CHUNG, expert for regional governance analysis, Mr.
Jiang presented the draft final report of "Regional Governance Analysis," including
governance issues that cause YS environmental problems, the analysis of legal,
political, social, cultural, and historical factors influencing the attitudes of
stakeholders, the analysis of international organisations where the result was that
YSLME & NOWPAP are the most relevant international co-operative mechanism
available.

69.
Mr. Jiang reiterated the report's recommendation to establish a YSLME Commission
that would be a soft, non-legally binding institution, as it would not be feasible to
create a treaty-based agreement at this time. A 2-stage approach for the
Commission was suggested: 1) a GEF-funded Commission from 2010-2015; and 2)
a self sustainable Commission from 2016-2020. The Commission would guide SAP
implementation.

70.
As no details were given for the composition of the Commission, participants
suggested that other LME project's commission could be examples to draw upon.

71.
The Meeting agreed with the suggestion from the "Regional Governance
Analysis" on the establishment of the YSLME Commission.

REGIONAL GIS AND META DATABASES

72.
Mr. Jiang presented the progress of the databases as reported to the 4th RWG-I
Meeting by CKJORC. He explained the activity's progress, database structure, and
showed the GIS base map. He indicated that the GIS and meta databases will serve
as regional data and information sources for the Yellow Sea. The databases will link
with other international and regional databases, and download relevant data. If the
operation and maintenance of the databases are carried out in an appropriate way, it
is expected that users will receive good services from the databases. The question
still remained on where the mirror site should be located, and the answer would be
provided to the project at a later stage, by the ROK NPC.

73.
Mr. Zhong informed the participants that NOWPAP was establishing a database that
would be linkable to YSLME's. NOWPAP was also interested in collaborating with
the technical workshop on data management. Mr. Jiang responded that during the
development of the GIS and meta databases, the activities of the NOWPAP's
DIN/RAC was fully noted. Good co-operation and co-ordination between the two
systems would certainly provide benefits to the countries in the region. He welcomed
NOWPAP to collaborate in organising the technical meeting for improving the
databases.

74.
The meeting agreed with the recommendations of the RWG-I regarding the
activities relevant to the databases.


9
PREPARATION OF THE STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME (SAP)

9.1
Preparatory Work and SAP Framework
9.2 Progress-to-date
9.3
Future Activities to Finalise SAP

75. Mr. Jiang summarised the progress of SAP development (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/8), informing the meeting of the progress of SAP
development:

· targets were identified, and actions finalised;
· a draft SAP structure was proposed and approved by the RWG-I;
· a draft structure for NSAP was prepared by PMO; and
· the remaining activities and timeline to finalise the SAP and NSAP was
proposed.

76.
Additional information included: the drafting group members will be contracted to
write the SAP and meet three times to finalise the SAP; SAP implementation should
be undertaken by all stakeholders; NSAP will be co-ordinated by the NPCs and the
schedule for these actions should be decided nationally.

77.
Mr. Huh suggested that NSAPs should be prepared at the same time as SAP with
some lag time, as NSAP would draw upon the contents of the regional SAP.

78.
Ms. Tengberg noted that the draft SAP had a nice framework of ecosystem approach
encompassing other factors, and is positive for GEF future funding, as different
sectors will be represented and involved in implementation. In other words, this
approach will facilitate accessing GEF funds for SAP implementation.

79.
The meeting agreed on the draft SAP structure, understanding that the
structure might be improved by the drafting group.

80.
The meeting also agreed on the proposed actions and timeline, and will submit
these to the PSC for approval.


10 CO-OPERATIVE
CRUISE

81.
Mr. Jiang explained Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/9 relevant to the progress of
the co-operative cruises. He informed the meeting that a preliminary agreement had
been reached and the final approval was expected soon. All data and samples for
the co-operative cruises would be fully shared. The 4th Cruise Technical Meeting
was held prior to this meeting where technical details were discussed. Agreement
was reached on:

· Sampling
variables;
· Number of scientists that will be on board;
· Sampling and analytical methodologies;
· Submission of data and preliminary analysis by May 2008;
· Synthesis workshop and summer cruise planning workshop will be held at the
same time in June/July 2008; and
· Summer cruise will be held in August 2008.

82.
Highlights of agreements included inter alia: 37 observation stations for sampling
physical, chemical, and biochemical variables to sample; 27 benthos stations; 3
gravity coring stations; SOA's North Sea Branch will give a final cruise map;
delegation of responsibilities for each scientist; dates of the 2008 winter cruise for 22
days starting on 5 Jan. 2008; publication of cruise results will be considered after
both cruises are completed.

83.
Mr. Jiang alerted the meeting that the total budget had been increased because of an
increased workload with more analyses to be carried out. He emphasised that the
financial arrangements for each contract urgently needed to be finalised. Finally, Mr.
Jiang explained that the government's approval documents will ensure the transfer of
samples from China to ROK for analysis.

84.
The meeting agreed on the outcomes of the technical meeting for the co-
operative cruise, and will forward them to the PSC for approval.


11
PARTICIPATION OF DPR KOREA IN YSLME PROJECT

85.
Mr. Jiang gave more information in addition to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/10
concerning the historical events related to DPRK's participation in the project,
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.

86.
Mr. Jiang reiterated that the MTE Report stated that DPRK's involvement in the
project would be a valuable contribution to a more complete understanding and

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 13

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, it might be possible to fund the MSP.

87.
Ms. Tengberg from UNDP/GEF updated the meeting that GEF had allocated funding
for DPRK under the GEF's biodiversity and climate change focal areas resource
allocation frameworks. As these funds had not yet been used, and because DPRK is
eligible for GEF funding, it was probable that GEF funding would be available to
support DPRK's participation in the project once UNDP resumes operation in DPRK.

88.
In response to the information provided, Mr. Nam stated that although DPRK's joining
the project had not yet materialised, there is still a high interest in joining the project,
and contributing to protection of marine resources and solving problems of the
oceanographical research activities. He hoped the PSC meeting would take the
necessary actions to approve DPRK's participation.

89.
The meeting suggested to the PSC that the YSLME Project should welcome the
participation of DPRK in the project. For the financial arrangements of DPRK's
involvement, there is a need to explore all possible sources such as the MSP
proposal that PMO already submitted to GEF and funding raised from other sources.


12
PROPOSED WORKPLAN AND BUDGET FOR 2008 AND ONWARDS

12.1 Proposed Project Activities

90.
Mr. Jiang explained that the proposed activities and budget for next year were based
on the outcomes of the 4th round of RWG Meetings.

12.2 Proposed Project Budget for 2008 and Onwards

91. Mr. Jiang explained the revised budget for 2008 to 2009 (Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/11), showing the increase in budget for activities for every
component, NSAP, and economic valuation. These funds were allocated from
savings of completed activities and some unused contingency funds. He also
mentioned that the revised budget did not include funds for the transition phase.
Should the PSC approve the transition phase, then savings and some contingency
funds would be used for this.

92.
The first discussion revolved around the issue of needing funds for the pollution-
biodiversity cross-component demonstration activity, which also touched upon the
allocation of funds for all proposed activities. This led to extensive questions and
voicing of opinions on the focus of demonstration activities, with some participants
expressing the view that these activities should be integrated across all project
components.

93.
Mr. Jiang explained that every RWG had proposed and prioritised demonstration
activities. If it was felt that certain activities required more funds, then the lower
priority activities could be deleted or could allocate some of the listed funds to higher
priority activities. Again, the current revised budget had been prepared based on the
outcomes of the 4th RWG meetings.

94.
The RWG Chairpersons formed a working group to try and resolve this issue; it was
suggested that integration of relevant project demonstration activities should be

---

UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/3
Page 14

considered after having clear ideas on the design and implementation of the
demonstration activities.

95.
Due to the practicalities and timeline to implement these activities, the PMO
suggested that it would draft the TORs for the possible integrated
demonstration activities, in consultation with the RWG Chairpersons. The
meeting agreed with this suggestion and entrusted the PMO to proceed along
this direction.

96.
The second topic that met extensive discussion was the request from ROK to
increase the budget for NSAP, as it was felt that the budget for SAP and NSAP was
inadequate.

97.
Mr. Jiang explained that the PMO had followed the recommendation from the 4th
RWG-I to increase budget for NSAP from the original allocation. If this was still not
enough, the meeting was welcome to suggest a new figure.

98.
Mr. Jiang repeated that NGOs and other stakeholder participation in the project is
very important, but the budget for them has always been low. The MTE report stated
this as a weak point of the project. He reminded all project members to pay more
attention to this issue.

99.
The meeting requested the PMO to increase the NSAP budget for both NSAPs. The
PMO managed to allocate additional funds for this activity. PMO provided the
revised budget, which was accepted by the meeting.

100. The meeting also agreed to explore the possibility to provide funds of not more
than USD 10,000 for more OC meetings in 2008.

101. Following clarifications given by PMO on participants' queries, the meeting
accepted the budget with the increase for NSAP. The agreed revised budget is
attached as Annex IV, and will be forwarded to the PSC for approval.

12.3 Proposed Workplan for 2008

102. The Chairperson invited participants to refer to Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.4/12,
and pointed out that the workplans were the outcomes of the 4th RWG meetings.

103. The Meeting reviewed the workplans and agreed to submit them as listed, to
the PSC for approval (Annex V).


13 OTHER
BUSINESS

104. The Chairperson opened the floor for participants to raise other issues to discuss.
Participants did not raise any other issues.


14
DATE AND VENUE OF NEXT RSTP MEETING

105. The meeting deferred the decision for this agenda to the 4th PSC Meeting.

ADOPTION OF THE MEETING REPORT

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


16
CLOSURE OF THE MEETING

107. Mr. Liang stated that he was glad to have joined the RSTP Meeting for the first time,
and to see that the project was being implemented smoothly. The frank discussions
allowed the meeting objectives to be met. The Chairperson was thanked for guiding
the meeting to its successful conclusion.

108. Mr. Huh thanked the PMO and Chairperson for their hard work in organising the
meeting to reach its productive end.

109. Mr. Nam expressed that his delegation had accomplished its purpose in attending the
meeting, and can now better understand the project and its future directions. He
hoped that the recommendations from this meeting would be approved by the PSC.

110. Mr. Zhong was grateful to the Chairperson for his wise guidance during the meeting.
Mr. Zhong stated that NOWPAP would continue to collaborate with YSLME, to
provide benefits to both parties. He thanked SOA and its South Sea Branch for
providing very nice meeting facilities.

111. On behalf of the Project Manager and the PMO, Ms. Chiang thanked all participants
and the Chairperson for their contribution to the project during the past year, without
which the project would be unable to arrive at it current status. She was sure that the
continued contribution would enable the project to meet its next milestone to
complete the SAP. Ms. Chiang thanked Mr. Yuanzhang CHEN, SOA South Sea
Branch, for his excellent and detailed arrangements of the meeting.

112. On behalf of UNDP/GEF, Ms. Tengberg stated that her participation was a great
learning experience about the project. The open discussions and high level of
scientific knowledge was impressive, and Ms. Tengberg hoped to see the project
continues with a 2nd phase.

113. The Chairperson thanked the ROK, DPRK, Chinese delegations, local government
representative and all participants for their active participation in the meeting. He
wished to see DPRK become full members in the project very soon. Finally, the local
host was thanked for the excellent meeting arrangements.

114. Following the closing remarks, the Chairperson declared the Meeting closed at 16:55
on 28th November 2007.
