OPENING OF THE MEETING
1.1 Welcome
addresses
1.1.1 On behalf of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Mr. Zhe YANG
opened the Meeting and welcomed all participants. Describing the latest major
progress and achievements of the Project, Mr. Yang applauded the efforts made by
the Governments of People's Republic of China (China) and Republic of Korea
(ROK). He also emphasised that regional co-operation is crucial for further
development and success of the Project. Mr. Yang stated further that the
participation of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to this meeting as
observers was one of the major accomplishments of the Project, and he expressed
his strong hope that DPRK would participate in the Project as a full member in the
near future.
1.1.2 On behalf of the Government of China, Mr. Haiqing LI extended a warm welcome to
all participants. He especially extended his welcome to the Delegation of Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Mr. Li commented on the Project's immense
progress over the past year that had been achieved to the high satisfaction of the
Government of China. With the co-operation between the participating countries,
UNOPS, UNDP, and PMO, the Project has made great progress, and Mr. Li was
confident that this level of momentum will be maintained throughout the Project. Mr.
Li informed the Meeting that in the recent development of China's eleventh five-year
plan for science-based activities, the YSLME Project is listed as a priority field of
action. Therefore, the State Oceanic Administration (SOA), as national focal point for
the Project, will continue and increase its support to project implementation. In
closing, Mr. Li wished the meeting full success.
1.1.3 On behalf of the Government of Republic of Korea (ROK), Mr. Heung-Kyeong PARK
expressed his sincere appreciation to all participants who had committed their time to
attend this meeting, and their efforts to assist with Project implementation. The
Republic of Korea believes that the Project is being implemented at an opportune
time. As countries in the region have a moral obligation to protect and enjoy a clean
marine environment, ROK is fully committed to support the Project, and ROK truly
hopes the PSC Meeting will bring about the successful conclusion of implementation
in 2005 and successful implementation in future years. ROK is committed to
continuing its co-operation with China. Mr. Park extended a warm welcome to State
Hydrometeorological Administration (SHMA), DPRK, and stated that the full
participation of the three coastal countries in the Project will ensure the preservation
of the Yellow Sea. He attached particular significance to DPRK's presence at this
meeting as observers, and emphasised that ROK is ready to give support to DPRK's
full participation. Mr. Park encouraged the Project Management Office (PMO) and
UNDP to facilitate DPRK's involvement in the Project.
1.1.4 On behalf of SHMA, Mr. Jong Chol RI expressed his thanks to the PMO and the
Government of China for inviting and supporting the participation of DPRK as
observers. Mr. Ri stated that he was very pleased with this opportunity to attend the
PSC Meeting and better understand the Project.
1.1.5 On behalf of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Mr. Andrew
MENZ felt encouraged that in the 12 month's since the Project's inception, the DPRK
has been brought on as observers within such a short time. Mr. Menz congratulated
all affiliated governments and research institutions for bringing the project to its
current stage of implementation which is reflected in many of the Project's
documents and other forms of outputs. The Project Manager was congratulated for
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3

project activities. The representatives also supported a suggestion on the need for

NGO AND PRIVATE SECTOR'S MEMBERSHIP IN PSC
7.1
The Chairperson invited the Secretariat to introduce the proposal on the NGO and
private sector's membership in the PSC.
7.2
Explaining the background and rationale, Mr. Endo introduced the proposal to invite
NGOs and the private sectors to be members of the PSC (UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/4).
The procedure consists of the following three steps:
(1) Invite NGOs and private sectors to the PSC as observers;
(2) Establish the partnership with NGOs and private sectors in implementing the
Project activities; and
(3) Select representatives of NGOs and private sectors to serve the PSC as its
members.
7.3
Mr. Endo emphasised the benefits from these stakeholders' participation, including
securing more transparency in project implementation, political support, ownership,
and financial and human resources.
7.4
Raising a question about a possible role and responsibility of the NGOs and private
sectors in the PSC as members, the participants requested the PMO to further
investigate similar projects on this issue.
7.5
The members also requested the PMO to produce guidelines on how to involve
NGOs and private sectors in the PSC, and to devise the criteria for selecting the
representatives of these stakeholders.
7.6
The Meeting noted the importance to invite participation from NGOs and private
sectors not only to secure a wide range of knowledge and expertise to protect and
improve the Yellow Sea ecosystem, but also to reach out to more stakeholders. The
meeting instructed the PMO to further investigate this issue, and report back to
the next PSC meeting. In the meantime, the Project should continue to invite the
NGOs and private sectors to participate in the PSC as observers.
8.
APPROVAL OF TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR THE REGIONAL WORKING
GROUPS (RWGS), NATIONAL PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR (NPC), AND INTER-
MINISTERIAL CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE (IMCC)

Highlighting the major modifications, Mr. Jiang provided the meeting with a brief
explanation about the revised terms of reference (TOR) for the Regional Working
Groups (RWGs) (UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/15), the National Project Co-ordinator (NPC)
(UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/16), and the Inter-Ministerial Co-ordinating Committee
(IMCC) (UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/17).
8.2
The meeting discussed this issue extensively. The Chairperson of the PSC invited
the Chairpersons of the RWGs to provide their comments on this issue, and it was
confirmed by the Chairpersons of RWGs that the proposed TORs for RWGs reflect
the current and expected situations for each component, and therefore these TORs
were acceptable to them.
8.3
With the understanding that these TORs may need to be revised in the future
as situations change, the Meeting adopted these TORs. The approved TORs for
RWGs, NPC, and IMCC are included in this report as Annex VII, VIII, and IX,

Project Manager's Report on the Implementation of Project Activities
1. Introduction
The year of 2005 has been a remarkable period for the UNDP/GEF Project entitled,
"Reducing Environmental Stress in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME)" After
several years' negotiation and preparation, the project has finally reached the
implementation phase.
Table 1 shows the situation at the beginning of 2005, and the current situation with regard to
several aspects of project implementation. It is apparent that with close co-operation
between the participating countries, United Nations Development Programme/Global
Environment Facility (UNDP/GEF), UNDP Korea Office, United Nations Office for Project
Services (UNOPS), and all the institutions involved in the project, the inception and
implementation of the project have been successful.
Special appreciation should be extended to the government of Korea, in particular the Korea
Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) for its generous support in hosting the
Project Management Office (PMO) within the KORDI compound, providing furniture and
basic equipment, and allowing the PMO to use all facilities in KORDI.

Implementation of Project Activities
2.1
Official Inception of the Project
The UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project Document was approved by the governments of
People's Republic of China in 2004 and Republic of Korea in 2003. In September 2004, the
Project Manager was hired and the Project officially began its implementation phase.
The Official Launching Ceremony for the Project was held on 7th March 2005 in Seoul,
Republic of Korea, at the Koreana Hotel. High-level officers from China and Korea and
representatives from UNDP attended the Ceremony, and delivered congratulatory
addresses. The speakers for the Ceremony were:
· Mr. KANG Moo-Hyun, Vice-Minister of Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries,
Republic of Korea;
· Mr. SUN Zhihui, Deputy Administrator of the State Oceanic Administration of the
Peoples' Republic of China;
· Ms. Anne-Isabelle Degryse-Blateau, Resident Representative of UNDP Korea
Office; and
· Dr. JE Jong-Geel, Member of the National Assembly of Republic of Korea.

The Ceremony was broadcasted on Arirang TV News (The Korea International Broadcasting
Foundation). Reporter, Ms. Kim Duyeon, interviewed the contributing players, two country
government representatives, and resident representative of UNDP Korea Office. During the
interview, both high-level government officials, and the UNDP Resident Representative in
Korea emphasised the importance of the Yellow Sea marine environment for the
participating countries, and key roles the project can play.
Mr. Kang Moo-Hyun: "The Yellow Sea is bordered by land on three sides, which has led to
much contamination over the years due to rapid increases in population and economic
development. That is why we need to protect this vital resource."
Mr. Sun Zhihui: "This project is important for both China and Korea because of our tradition
of friendship, and because we are both faced with common problems and demands in the
Yellow Sea area."
Ms. Anne-Isabelle Degryse-Blateau: "I think this is very significant to show the importance
and the political implications of this project, and we do hope that this will become one of the
tools for both countries' national strategies, to address this issue of the Yellow Sea."
2.2
Approval of the Implementation Plan
After the Official Launching Ceremony, the First Project Steering Committee (PSC) Meeting
was held in Seoul, Korea. The PSC reviewed and approved the Project Implementation
Plan which serves as a guide for the project's course. The Implementation Plan was
developed by regional experts and the PMO staff over the course of two regional technical
meetings held in Beijing, China, in December 2004, and in Ansan, Korea, in March 2005.
The Plan includes the background, objectives, implementation mechanisms, list of agreed
activities, budget, workplan, expected outputs, and monitoring and evaluation procedures.
One of the main activities at the beginning of the Project is to collect data and information to
determine the transboundary problems in the Yellow Sea, the causes and impacts of the
problems, and the governance issues related to the problems. This activity will illustrate the
trends of each problem, the available data and information in the region, the gaps in
knowledge, and what additional work is needed to provide a more complete picture of the
status of the Yellow Sea. The results of the activity will provide a clearer picture on how the
remaining aspects of the Implementation Plan should be accomplished over the next four
years, particularly the development of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and
Strategic Action Programme (SAP).
2.3
Regional and National Co-ordination
Since the first PSC meeting in March 2005, various institutional arrangements have been
made in both China and Korea to facilitate the national co-ordinations for implementing the
YSLME project. Additionally, the YSLME project has sought co-operation and co-ordination
with relevant regional programmes. This section describes the latest developments in the
regional and national co-ordinations among concerned countries and programmes.
2.3.1 Regional
Co-ordination
The YSLME project has sought co-operation dynamically with relevant international
organisations and NGOs such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). For example, to
strengthen co-operation and share information, the YSLME project signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Yellow Sea Eco-Region Planning Programme (YSEPP)
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 4
which was implemented jointly by WWF, Korea Environment Institute (KEI), and KORDI.
The YSLME project also drafted the "Public Awareness and Communication Strategy" based
on the co-operation with WWF Japan, WWF China, WWF Hong Kong, Wetlands
International (WI), the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and the United Nations
Environment Programme-Northwest Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP). The YSLME project
further pursues a co-operation with other regional programmes, such as IOC/WESTPAC and
NEAR-GOOS, for mutual benefit and effective implementation of the project.
2.3.2 National
co-ordinations
The Inter-ministerial Co-ordinating Committee (IMCC) and National Working Groups (NWGs)
for the five project components (Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Fisheries, Investment, Pollution)
were established in both China and Korea. A National Project Coordinator (NPC) for each
country was designated by the respective National Focal Point.
In China, in addition to the above entities, a National Project Management Office was
established in the Department of International Co-operation at the State Oceanic
Administration (SAO) which is headed by the NPC. The Local Project Management Offices
were also established.
In Korea, the NWG meetings have regularly been held to discuss, co-ordinate, and prepare
for the Regional Working Group meetings and the Regional Scientific and Technical Panel
(RSTP) meeting.
For better co-ordination and successful project implementation, as discussed in the Second
Regional Working Group Investment Meeting, the following activities are necessary:
· Inviting more institutions to participate in the activities of the national working groups,
including local governments, local communities, and NGOs;
· Securing a relatively stable participation of the members to the respective meetings
of the regional working groups; and
· Enhancing national co-ordination of relevant ministries in the implementation of the
project.
2.4
Activities of the Regional Working Groups (RWGs)
For the effective planning and implementation of the project activities, ten meetings of the
Regional Working Groups (RWG), two regional technical meetings and one special technical
meeting for the co-operative study cruises were organised during the period of October 2004
December 2005.
Discussions and agreements of these regional technical meetings provided solid bases for
the implementation of the project, and outcomes and outputs of the meetings provided useful
and effective mechanisms to implement the project activities as approved by the PSC.

2.4.1 Fisheries
Component
Over the past few months, members of the Fisheries Component have been engaged in
activities to acquire data and information related to fisheries to provide a contemporary
diagnosis for the status of fisheries, fisheries resources and mariculture of the Yellow Sea for
input to the Fisheries section of the TDA.
The West Sea Fisheries Research Institute (WSFRI), of the National Fisheries Research and
Development Institute, Korea, and the Yellow Sea Fisheries Institute (YSFRI), China, were
contracted to undertake activities to collate existing data and information relating to
perceived fisheries and mariculture issues, to support or refute the Yellow Sea's fisheries
problems as identified by the members at the 1st RWG-F meeting.
The 2nd RWG-F meeting reviewed, and initiated the synthesis of the newly acquired data and
information and identified the gaps, difficulties and barriers to data and information collection
and began discussion on the preparation of data and information for input to the TDA,
namely synthesising data and information to provide a region-wide diagnosis of the condition
and trends in fisheries, fisheries resources and mariculture, describing the current status and
patterns-of-change in benthic and pelagic resources, biodiversity, biomass, trophic structure,
carrying capacity, abundance and distribution, and production levels of fisheries resources in
the Yellow Sea; and including a review of the national laws and regulations governing
fisheries and mariculture.
The meeting also examined how the contemporary information related to the list of
`perceived problems', `causal chain and governance' analysis agreed at the first RWG-F
meeting are modified as a result.
Other important outcomes of the 2nd RWG-F Meeting were: an understanding of the
Fisheries Component's role in the upcoming Co-operative Study Cruises of the Yellow Sea
Marine Basin; activities to be implemented during 2005 to 2006, and the role of consultants
and members of the RWG-F in the process.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 6
Over the next two years, one of the responsibilities of the RWG-F is to provide technical
guidance for the implementation of activities under this project component. Several activities
falling under the four major activity categories for the Fisheries Component are: 1) Regional
Stock Assessment; 2) Carrying Capacity; 3) Sustainable Mariculture; and 4) Laws,
Regulations and Fisheries Management Plans. The products of these activities will
contribute either to the TDA or to the development of SAP. The successful completion of the
activities will ultimately produce:
· Regionally agreed methods for data and information collection and sharing in the
Yellow Sea;
· An enhanced co-operative mechanism for regional data and information collection;
· Upgraded knowledge of the state of the Yellow Sea, in terms of its fisheries, fisheries
resources and mariculture industry; and
· Increased mutual understanding and trust amongst the participating institutions.
2.4.2 Biodiversity
Component
Over the past few months members of the Biodiversity Component have also been engaged
in activities to acquire detailed biodiversity-related data and information to provide a
contemporary diagnosis, or statement on the state-of-the-ecosystem of the Yellow Sea for
input to the Biodiversity Chapter of the TDA. The National Fisheries Research and
Development Institute (NFRDI), Korea, and the First Institute of Oceanography (FIO), China,
were contracted to undertake acquisition activities for existing data and information relating
to perceived biodiversity issues.
The objectives of these activities were to gather necessary data and information in the
region to support or refute the Yellow Sea's biodiversity problems as identified by the
Regional Working Group-Biodiversity (RWG-B) members in their first meeting, and for
synthesis and analysis into a regional summary.
The task included the reviewing and collection of existing data and information that was
agreed by the 1ST RWG-B Meeting according to the temporal and spatial scales. The review
attempts to cover the data and information existing in all institutions in both countries and
also includes relevant data and information sources external to the region (e.g. the GIS
database prepared by YSEPP. It is anticipated that this data and information will allow the
Project to describe the changes in species composition, gene diversity, conservation areas,
and habitat availability in the Yellow Sea over time, and identify gaps in data and information
in order to show information should be collected for better management of biodiversity
problems in future. It will also allow the Project to update the original causal chain analysis
and initiate some areas of the governance analysis which were developed at the 1st RWG-B
Meeting.
The expected outputs of these activities are:
(i)
A compilation of the best available data and information regarding the status and
trends in biodiversity, in the format and scales agreed by the Regional Working
Group for the Biodiversity component;
(ii)
A list of data and information sources to indicate the sources of the data and
information collected in item (i), location of these data and information centres,
conditions of access to data and information by different users;
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 7
(iii)
A report on the changes in species composition, gene diversity, conservation
areas, and habitat availability; and
(iv)
A report on the biodiversity problems in the Yellow Sea coastal and marine areas
of the country, including major problems, the priorities of the problems,
preliminary causal chain and governance analysis.
The 2nd RWG-B Meeting reviewed, and began a synthesis of the biodiversity data and
information for the Yellow Sea acquired through the recent data collection exercise to
analyse the gaps, identify difficulties and barriers to data and information collection, and to
discuss the preparation of data and information for input to the TDA. The major outcomes of
the meeting were:
· An awareness of the quality, gaps, difficulties and barriers to collecting data and
information on Biodiversity, and an understanding of mechanisms to address these
issues.
· An awareness of the region-wide status and patterns-of-change in biodiversity, habitats
and vulnerable species, and their protection in the Yellow Sea;
· A revised list of `perceived problems' and Causal Chain Analysis agreed at the first
RWG-Biodiversity (RWG-B) meeting.
· An improved state-of-knowledge of the existing national laws and regulations on
biodiversity, habitat protection and vulnerable species and how these may contribute to
potential governance issues.
· An agreement on Biodiversity Component inputs for the preparation of the Draft TDA.
· Understanding of the Biodiversity Component's role in the upcoming Cooperative
Surveys of the Yellow Sea Marine Basin.
· Agreement on activities to be implemented during 2005 to 2006 including the
objectives of the body-of-work that is required to be implemented prior to the next
RWG-B meeting, the role of consultants and members of the RWG-B in the process.
· Agreement on list and schedule of activities for the RWG-B for 2005 to 2006.
One of the on-going responsibilities of the RWG-B over the next phase of the project is to
provide technical guidance for implementation of activities under this project component. A
number of activities have previously been identified for implementation during the first two
years of the Project which requires the technical input of the RWG members or the
involvement of consultant contracts. The results of these activities will contribute to the TDA,
to the development of strategic action plans and prioritisation of project interventions, and
will enhance capacity to manage biodiversity-related problems on a regional scale.
Successful completion of the activities will ultimately produce:
· Regionally agreed methods for the observation, monitoring and sampling of biological
and environmental parameters relating to biodiversity in the Yellow Sea;
· An enhanced co-operative mechanism for regional monitoring, observation and
protection of biodiversity;
· Upgraded skills in the observation and monitoring of parameters for the protection
and management of biodiversity; and
· And ultimately, a better scientific understanding of biodiversity in the Yellow Sea
ecosystem.

2.4.3 Pollution
Component
The Pollution Component embarked on its first activity to collect historical data and
information to determine the pollution-related problems in the Yellow Sea. The types of data
and information to collect were agreed upon at the First Regional Working Group Pollution
(RWG-P) Meeting. At this meeting, RWG-P members also carried out a preliminary causal
chain and governance analysis based on what they perceived to be the transboundary
pollution problems in the Yellow Sea. The members also revised the list of activities for the
Pollution Component, which set the stage for the activities to be implemented over the
coming years.
Contracts for the historical data collection activity were issued to the National Marine
Environmental Monitoring Center (NMEMC), China, and KORDI to implement the activity.
Some of the information collected-to-date was presented at the Second RWG-P Meeting.
During this meeting, members agreed on how to present their data in a standardised format
for the regional synthesis and the TDA. Members will continue to collect additional data and
information over the next 3 months, analyse the data, and present them in a final report.
The data and information collected will be housed in the Project database at the China-
Korea Joint Ocean Research Center.
An activity that will soon be completed is the preparation of regional pollution monitoring
guidelines. The objective of the activity is to provide a regional plan for better monitoring
and understanding of pollutants that affect the Yellow Sea. It is expected that the guidelines
can be used for any future joint or separate monitoring activities in the Yellow Sea.
A consultant was hired to carry out the following tasks:
1) Provide a list of the vital chemical, physical and biological parameters to detect
pollution problems in the Yellow Sea;
2) Prepare guidelines for sampling the parameters in different media (water, sediment,
biota, etc.);
3) Propose numbers and siting of monitoring stations;
4) Suggest reporting procedures to national and international agencies;
5) List recommendations and justifications regarding acceptable contaminant levels;
and
6) List recommendations for each parameter when a threshold level is exceeded.
The progress report was presented at the 2nd RWG-P Meeting, and participants gave
suggestions to the consultant for preparation of the final report. It is anticipated that the
guidelines will contain information on the above items, as well as:
· How to co-ordinate existing monitoring programmes into the regional guidelines,
including how to use remote sensing as a monitoring tool;
· Linking the guidelines with existing monitoring programmes and geographic areas.
Providing recommendations on how to link existing data systems and exchange of
information gathered from future monitoring programmes; and
· Incorporating into the guidelines, existing inter-governmental agreements on data
exchange.
The Pollution Component has also been examining the pollutant parameters that labs in the
region should inter-calibrate. This exercise will assist with the analysis of samples collected
from the co-operative study cruises, in that labs from China and Korea carrying out the
analyses will produce comparable results.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 9
In the first half of 2006, contracts will be issued to consultants and institutes to carry out
more activities whose results will contribute to the writing of the TDA and SAP.
2.4.4 Ecosystem
Component1
The Ecosystem Component also embarked on its first activity to collect historical data and
information to determine the ecosystem-related problems in the Yellow Sea. The types of
data and information to collect were agreed upon at the First Regional Working Group-
Ecosystem (RWG-E) Meeting. Like at the previous RWG meetings, RWG-E members also
carried out a preliminary causal chain and governance analysis based on what they
perceived to be the transboundary ecosystem problems in the Yellow Sea. The members
also revised the list of activities for the Ecosystem Component, which guides the activities to
be implemented over the coming years.
Contracts for the historical data collection activity were issued to FIO and WSFRI to
implement the activity. Some of the data and information collected-to-date were presented
at the Second RWG-E Meeting. Members agreed on the format to present the data for
regional synthesis and the TDA.
The Ecosystem Component has finalised its team members, equipment, and budget for the
winter co-operative study cruise where plankton samples will be collected and analysed to
complement the historical data collection activity.
Early in 2006, contracts will be issued to consultants and institutes to carry out additional
activities whose results will contribute to the writing of the TDA and SAP. Some of these
activities include: regional synthesis of national data, assessing carrying capacity, identifying
stresses to the ecosystem, and workshops on monitoring the ecosystem.
2.4.5 Investment
Component
The major activities of the Regional Working Group Investment (RWG-I) consist of: (i)
stakeholders, (ii) regional coordination, (iii) national institutions, (iv) financial instruments, (v)
data and information management, and (vi) public awareness and participation.
Stakeholders
This activity, closely linked with public awareness and participation, identifies the
stakeholders and strengthens their capacity of environmental management and decision-
making. The RWG-I explored the Governance Analysis as a tool for identifying all relevant
stakeholders in the Yellow Sea as well as for contributing to the TDA development. As a
result, the execution plan for the Governance Analysis was devised. This draft plan will be
submitted to the PSC meeting for approval.
Regional co-ordination
The activity of regional co-ordination proceeds with the preparation of the TDA and SAP. To
incorporate the socioeconomic aspects of the Yellow Sea ecosystem into the SAP, the
Investment Component considered the implementation of Environmental Valuation. The
1 This report was prepared prior to the 2nd RWG-E Meeting. The results of the 2nd RWG-E Meeting can be found in the RWG-E
Chairperson's report (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/7) and 2nd RWG-E Meeting Report (Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RWG-
E.2/3).
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 10
Component examined the guideline for valuation studies, which was drafted by the PMO.
The Investment group also discussed the execution plan for the Environmental Valuation;
the plan will be submitted to and assessed by the RSTP/PSC.
National institutions
The third activity of the Investment Component includes establishing National Co-ordination
Units to secure intersectoral co-ordination in the TDA/SAP process. For the national co-
ordination as well as the regional co-ordination activities, consult section 2.3, "Regional and
National Co-ordinations," in this report.
Financial instruments
This activity contributes to the financial sustainability of the environmental conservation
activities for the YSLME after the project is completed. The RWG-I explored a number of
activities to secure the sustainability, including the training programmes for environmental
project identification and preparation. The members also considered the regional strategy
for financial sustainability; as a result, the implementation structure for developing the
strategy was determined. The PMO will prepare a draft strategy for further consideration.
Data and information management
The data and information management (DIM) includes the development and implementation
of the regional DIM strategy. The China-Korea Joint Ocean Research Center will host the
meta database and the GIS database of the YSLME project, and establish and maintain
these databases. The RWG-I assessed both the technical considerations and the specific
activities / schedules for the database development.
Public awareness and participation
The final activity of the RWG-I includes encouraging public participation to induce broad
support and expertise to conserve the Yellow Sea ecosystem. The Investment Component
examined the "Public Awareness and Communication Strategy" which was jointly drafted
with members of the Yellow Sea Partnership. The RWG-I also discussed and agreed on
holding the Partnership Workshop for better co-operation and co-ordination. For further
information on the strategy and partnership, consult section 3, "Public Awareness and
Participation," in this report.
During the two RWG-I Meetings, the above activities were extensively discussed. Based on
the agreement of these meetings, the contracts will be issued to consultants to implement
the Governance Analysis, the Environmental Valuation, and the Data and Information
Management.
2.5 Planning for the Co-operative Study Cruises
Based on the discussion and agreements during the preparation phase of the project,
regional cooperative study activities for the Yellow Sea marine basin were included in the
Project Document. These were to the form of two cooperative or `joint' cruises of the Yellow
Sea marine basin. The objectives of the study cruises are to:
1. Provide basin-wide data and information for the Yellow Sea covering all
components identified in the Implementation Plan of the project, and based on
the data and information gaps identified by the Regional Working Groups;
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 11
2. Provide data and information that will be used, together with other existing data
and information, in the preparation of the TDA, in particular the data and
information covering the entire Yellow Sea; and
3. Prepare necessary baselines of the status of the Yellow Sea environment at start
of project implementation, when combined with all other data and information
available to the project. The baseline information will be used in the later stage
as one of the indicators for the evaluation of the project.
During the 1st PSC Meeting, the original number of cruises planned in the Project Document
was reduced from 6 to 2, due to changes in the financial environment within, and external to
the Project over the past 5 years. Following the decisions of the PSC, the RWGs and the
RSTP further discussed the details of co-operative monitoring cruises, and two cruises, a
`winter' and a `spring' cruise, were subsequently planned to be undertaken in the Yellow Sea
marine basin,
The survey plan and workplan for the cruise were further discussed and finalised at a
separate "Technical Meeting for the Cooperative Study Cruise." During this meeting the
expected outcomes and outputs of the cruise were detailed, technical issues were
addressed and logistical arrangements planned.
Outcomes and Outputs from the Survey
The overall outcomes and outputs of the cooperative survey were finalised at the Technical
Meeting, and include:
· the better understanding of the status and conditions of the Yellow Sea Marine basin
ecosystem; and
· the condition and quality of the Yellow Sea marine basin habitat and the biological
and physical dynamics of the Yellow Sea marine basin system.
More specifically, the data/information collected from both surveys will allow the project to
determine status and changes in benthic and pelagic resources, quality and availability of
bottom and pelagic habitats, abundance and distribution of organisms in the Yellow Sea
marine basin, status of marine pollution and water quality in the Yellow Sea marine basin;
and provide us with basic basin-wide information on the marine environment of the Yellow
Sea. The resultant data/information will allow the Project to identify trends, and/or predict
changes under prevailing ecosystem conditions and identify or prioritise interventions for the
SAP phase of the project. The ultimate outcomes of the cooperative cruise include:
· regionally agreed methods for the observation, monitoring and sampling of marine
environmental parameters in the Yellow Sea;
· an enhanced co-operative mechanism for regional marine environment monitoring
and observation;
· upgraded skills in basin-wide observation and monitoring;
· a better scientific understanding of the basin-wide marine environment/ecosystem
status;
· identification of data/information and knowledge gaps; and
· an increased mutual understanding and trust amongst the participating institutions.
The expected outputs of the winter survey include the resultant data and reports from the
survey activities, recommendations and items to be addressed for the next survey in spring,
and a preliminary analysis of collected data.

Finalisation of Survey Plan
Cruise Dates
The first cruise will take place from the 4th to 25th January, 2006 (As per the agreement of the
1st RSTP Meeting), with participation of experts from both the People's Republic of China
and the Republic of Korea. This cruise is known as the `winter' survey.
The second `spring' cruise is planned for May 2006, although the exact start dates and
duration times are yet to be determined.
Observation Stations, Transects and Ships Route
The initial survey plan for the winter survey, proposed at the first RSTP meeting, was re-
modified during the Technical Meeting for the Co-operative Study Cruises.
The initial plan included 52 discrete sampling stations for bottom trawl, phytoplankton &
zooplankton sampling, and 27 environmental stations (for CTD deployment) and 15 stations
for pelagic trawl (based on acoustic echogram). The survey will start from the southern
sampling area and proceed northwards, and it was agreed that station points could be
adjusted according to weather and sea conditions. Sampling stations were arranged in such
a way as to respect the territorial waters of each country.
During the Technical Meeting for the Co-operative Study Cruises, a new survey plan for
winter and summer was developed, based largely upon a proposal by the Korean members
using a modified version of the initial plan. (See Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/8 for the
survey routes).
There are 50 stations in the new plan for the winter survey and up to 71 stations planned for
the spring survey cruise, with the position of transect lanes changing slightly. The winter
survey continues to concentrate on the sampling of the Yellow Sea cold water mass, and
both surveys continue to respect the territorial waters of each country.
Logistical Arrangements
Government Approval
In accordance with the relevant regulations of the People's Republic of China, approval of
the co-operative study cruise is required 6 months before the initiation of the activity.
According to the NPC for China, the approval process has been initiated with the relevant
ministries. In lieu of this, it was agreed that the spring cruise would be considered
concurrently with the winter cruise, with government approvals for both sought
simultaneously. Korea has a similar approval policy and the urgency to finalise the cruise
plan expeditiously and without major modification was highlighted to all relevant persons.
Workplan and Schedule
The Technical Meeting in finalised a schedule and workplan for the winter study cruise. The
plan comprises of activities and responsibilities leading up to, during, and after the cruise, for
each participating component. An equipment and personnel manifest was also finalised,
identifying the equipment lacking/needing to be acquired and the personnel responsible for
its purchase and/or handling and operation during the cruise.

Post-Cruise Sample & Data Handling
The difficulties associated with division and handling of samples for analysis at the
conclusion of the study surveys was discussed at the Technical Meeting. Members agreed
to develop detailed lists of sample types required to be relocated to Korea from Qingdao at
the end of the study cruises and provide them to the PMO in order to seek the appropriate
government approvals.
It was agreed that the newly acquired survey cruise data would become the property of the
GEF with the principle and understanding that data will be shared equally between the
participating countries. However, in order to implement this principle, and in particular to
allow the relocation of the samples to Korea, there was a need to obtain approval from the
respective governmental agencies, which shall be on a case-by-case basis.
The PMO has prepared a policy paper on the handling and sharing of data (as requested by
the RSTP at its first meeting), to be presented to the next Project Steering Committee for
consideration and approval (refer Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/11).
Considerations for the Spring Survey
It was requested that an extra Technical Meeting for the Co-operative Survey Cruises be
held at the completion of the first cruise and before the initiation of the next cruise to facilitate
the organisation and quality of output of the second co-operative study cruise. The months of
March to April were agreed as a suitable time for such a meeting.
2.6 Involvement of DPR Korea in the project
As instructed by the Project Steering Committee at its first meeting in Seoul, Korea, March
2005, the Project Manager visited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), 12-
16 July 2005, together with a representative (Mr. Wenxi Zhu) from one of the project's
participating countries.
The purposes of the visit were:
(i)
Introducing the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project to the relevant organisation(s)
in DPR Korea;
(ii) Exploring possibility to get DPR Korea involved in the Project; and
(iii) Establishing communication mechanisms with DPR Korea, if they are
interested in participating in the project activities.
The visit in the framework of bilateral relationships between State Hydrometeorological
Administration (SHMA) DPR Korea and State Oceanic Administration (SOA) China, as an
initiative, was approved by the National Co-ordinating Committee for Environment in DPR
Korea, and the discussion was organised with the SHMA, which is a governmental
organisation responsible for hydrology (including underground water), meteorology, and
oceanography, including marine environment monitoring.
Following the presentation of the project activities by the Project Manager, the discussions
were focused on the issues of the interests and possibilities of the DPR Korea to participate
in the project. Following the extensive discussions on several policy and practical issues,
and exchange views, SHMA expressed its interests in participating in the project activities.
The final decision should be made by the National Co-ordinating Committee for the
Environment in DPR Korea.
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 14
The major outcomes of the visit were:
(i)
It was confirmed and agreed that the exchange of data and information is required for
the project to understand better the marine environment status and trends, but it
would not be the pre-condition for DPR Korea's participation in the project;
(ii)
Co-operative cruises organised by the project will exclude the territorial sea areas of
the participating countries. This is not only for the DPR Korea, but for all the
participating countries as agreed in the Project Document, and by the Project
Steering Committee; and
(iii)
The representatives of DPR Korea should be invited to participate in the second
meetings of the RSTP and PSC, as full members if the approval for project
participation was obtained, or as observers if the approval was not yet obtained.
During the visit, the Project Manager visited the UNDP Pyongyang Office and had a meeting
with staff of the office. Information about the project was provided, and brief discussion
about the involvement of the DPRK took place.
2.7 Cross component issues
The interdisciplinary nature of the Yellow Sea Project and wide-encompassing ecological
characteristics of any large marine ecosystem such as the Yellow Sea ecosystem, have led
to the development of an environmental management project that will address the most
critical aspects of the ecosystem, as identified by regional experts. However, as the
ecosystem does not function in discrete packets, many of the issues that the Project will
address, do overlap with each other. Some examples of cross-component issues include,
inter alia:
· redundancy in identified transboundary problems related to each component;
· redundancy in data and information to be collected to address the perceived
problems;
· governance analysis to be done by each component or one for all components;
· storage, maintenance, and accessibility of data and information collected under
each project component; and
· assessing carrying capacity of the ecosystem.
Some of the activities of the Project's five main focal areas Fisheries, Biodiversity,
Ecosystem, Pollution and Investment are cross-component in nature, and were addressed
and discussed during the 1st RSTP Meeting with the following conclusions:
· The Fisheries Component generally focuses its carrying capacity assessment on
higher trophic levels, while the Ecosystem Component prefers to focus on lower
trophic levels. A special working group at the 1st RSTP Meeting agreed that carrying
capacity assessment will focus on fisheries resources, namely the highest possible
fish biomass in the Yellow Sea from surveys, with the output from Ecosystem
Component's primary and secondary production assessment serving as input for the
estimation of carrying capacity in the Fisheries Component. The group reported that
it would pursue the goal in two ways: 1) population dynamics approach; and 2) lower
trophic productivity-higher trophic level model (possibly ECOPATH) approach.
· The
1st RSTP Meeting agreed that social economic and governance analysis would
be carried out separately by each component, and the integrated analysis would be
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 15
carried out after receiving the results from the Regional Working Groups. Guidelines
for implementing socio-economic analysis and economic valuation of natural
resources would be prepared by the Project Management Office (PMO), with
guidance from the Regional Working Group for Investment.
· For data management, the 1st RSTP Meeting agreed that:
1. The meta database and GIS database will be hosted in the China-Korea Joint
Ocean Research Center.
2. The PMO will take a leading role in the development of the databases, with input
from database development experts.
3. The members of the regional working groups should be involved in the
development of the databases.
4. The host will be responsible for the daily maintenance of the databases. China
and Korea will have equal responsibility for the joint facility, and management of
the data in the future.
As it was particularly difficult to obtain an overall picture of the data and information that
overlap, the 1st RSTP Meeting requested the PMO to produce three matrices to show the
areas of overlap more clearly:
1. perceived transboundary problems;
2. historical data review; and
3. co-operative study cruises data collection.
The three matrices are shown in Appendix II.
The Second RSTP Meeting will review the tables, improve them, discuss how to share the
data amongst the various components, and agree on the responsible group(s) to collect any
remaining overlapping data.
3.
Public Awareness and Participation
A "Public Awareness and Communications Strategy" was devised by the PMO in conjunction
with other collaborating bodies, to produce a comprehensive and straightforward framework
for coordinated actions of the numerous groups involved in the Yellow Sea Partnership. The
partnership is open and available for participation by any organisation interested in the
activities identified in this strategy.
The Strategy is a `work in progress,' the contents of which will be built-upon over time,
particularly as more stakeholders are identified, partnerships made, and lessons learned. It
will be executed and evolved on a continual basis.
Purposes of the Public Awareness and Communication Strategy
The purpose of this strategy is to create a strong awareness of the problems faced by the
Yellow Sea by informing the wider stakeholder-ship of the impacts of unsustainable
activities, and how the Yellow Sea ecosystem can be improved by the mitigation or
elimination of the impacts, or stressors, for the benefit of humankind; namely, the strategy
aims to:
· Establish a partnership for joint activities in the public awareness and participation in
the Yellow Sea;
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 16
· Produce a regional list of the stakeholders using the Yellow Sea coastal and marine
resources as a major targeted group;
· Inform stakeholders of the roles of the Yellow Sea in the global scenario;
· Report to stakeholders of the perceived problems faced by the Yellow Sea;
· Warn how these problems can and do affect local and global communities;
· Inform how remediation of perceived problems can benefit all stakeholders;
· Inform stakeholders of the current efforts of various projects, the focus and rationale
of each;
· Inform of the outcomes and benefits of the various projects to both the stakeholders
and the coastal and marine environment;
· Inform stakeholders and funding agencies of the status of the projects and
incremental levels of achievements;
· Inform stakeholders of their roles and responsibilities in stewardship of the
ecosystem;
· Inform all stakeholders, including governmental, intergovernmental and non-
governmental bodies, of their functions in improving the status of the environment in
the Yellow Sea; and
· Encourage greater stakeholder contributions to environmental management and the
decision-making process.
Overall messages delivered by the Strategy
The overall messages that this Public Awareness and Communications Strategy strives to
convey are:
· The status of the Yellow Sea the problems and the trends;
· How environmental problems affect local communities, adjacent countries, the global
community and global environmental systems;
· What is currently being done to monitor and remediate these problems;
· How remediation of environmental problems can benefit stakeholders; and
· The role that each partner plays in the Yellow Sea partnership.
These are broken down into more specific messages in separate sub-strategies which target
specific stakeholder groups to maximise information transfer (see Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/5).
Expected Outcomes of the Strategy
The expected outcomes of this strategy are to create a strong public awareness of the
problems faced by the Yellow Sea, how the ecosystem is currently affected by the activities
of humans and how the ecosystem can be improved by the mitigation or elimination of these
problems. As a result, develop strong public support and participation in actions leading to
the mitigation or elimination of these problems, as a major element in the management plan
of the Yellow Sea.

Schedule for Implementing the Strategy
Implementation of the Public Awareness and Communication Strategy consists of four
phases along with the major developments of the Project: (i) preparation, (ii) TDA, (iii) SAP,
and (iv) demonstration/pilot activities. The relevant information on implementation is
available in Document UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/5.
Public awareness materials
In line with the Public Awareness and Communications Strategy, the PMO has embarked on
an exercise to develop its own range of promotional items. Based on a master list of items
developed in the strategy, the PMO has selected a small number of items to be produced by
the end of 2005.

Currently, the financial management system in UNDP and UNOPS has changed to the Atlas
format. In order to:
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 19
(i)
follow the changes in the financial management system in UNDP and UNOPS;
and
(ii)
provide easy understanding of project planning and implementation.
The new budget format is prepared based on the Atlas format, which is a clearer way to
show the activities and budget of each project component. Refer to Document
UNDP/GEF/YS/RSP.2/13 for the new budget format.
Revision of project budgets
(a)
Whenever a project budget ceases to reflect actual circumstances or current
expectations in any significant respect, it shall be revised accordingly.
(b) Revisions primarily made to reflect expenditures of the previous year and other
appropriate changes shall be prepared annually for each project budget. Such mandatory
revisions shall be submitted by the executing agency, immediately following its issuance of
year-end delivery reports.
There have been some unspent money and changes in priority of activities, thus, a budget
revision has been prepared by the PMO, and presented to the RSTP Meeting for review.
ADMINISTRATION OF RESOURCES
Procurement
The basic principles are transparency and fairness, economy and best value. The following
general principles shall be given due consideration in carrying out the procurement functions
of UNDP under these Rules:
(a) Economy and efficiency;
(b) The interests of the UNDP programme;
(c) International soliciting of proposals and competitive bidding to allow prospective
proposers and bidders fair and equal opportunities to provide those goods,
services and other requirements being sought by UNDP;
(d) The utilisation of currencies available to UNDP and which require special
management;
(e) Preferential treatment to be accorded to sources of those supplies indigenous
either to the country being assisted or to other developing countries; and
(f) Equitable geographical distribution consistent with maximum effectiveness.
Advance and progress payments: When the advance payment for USD 50,000 or more is
required and subsequently approved, UNOPS will normally require a bank guarantee or
other suitable security arrangement.
Security: All contracted personnel have to pass the "Basic Security in the Field Staff
Safety, Health and Welfare" test.
4.2
Expenditures and balance of the project
Appendix III shows the expenditures and balance for the project, as of 25th November 2005.
The expenditures for January to October 2005 reflect real expenditures, while expenditures
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 20
for November to December 2005 are estimated, as the detailed expenditure information was
not received from UNOPS.
It should be noted that the five-year project period will be from 1st January 2005 - 31
December 2009. There was no budget in 2004 although the Project Manager reported to
duty on 15th September 2004.
It should also be noted that the supporting staffs' salaries were affected by the exchange
rate between Korean Won and US Dollar because their contracts are based on Korean Won,
but should be reflected in the budget as US Dollar. International staffs' post adjustment was
changed from 77.2% to 49.2% of net salary starting in November 2005, which is reflected in
the budget total for 2005.
Finally, the reasons for the relatively large un-spent balance in 2005 are: 1) This year was
the project inception year (1st year of the project); there have been a lot of preparation work;
and 2) Slow response from some RWGs and contractors.

Report on the Project Management Office
5.1
Office & Facilities
Since the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Project was approved and established in the KORDI
compound, KORDI has generously provided a wide range of support to the Project and the
PMO. The MOU between PMO and KORDI was signed on 10th December 2004 to agree on
the necessary logistic support and services KORDI would provide. In July 2005, KORDI
provided the PMO with office space in the No. 1 Research Building for the PMO staff with
additional space for interns, office furniture, computers, printers and standard office
equipment. The PMO is now fully operational. On behalf of the Project, the PMO expresses
its sincere gratitude to KORDI for her gracious support and assistance that continue to
ensure that project implementation proceeds smoothly.
5.2
Staff Recruitment and Intern Programme
One of most important tasks during the first year of the project implementation was to recruit
the necessary project staff and form a management team for effective implementation of the
project activities.
With support of the UNDP/GEF, UNDP Korea Office and UNOPS, the recruitment process
was carried out transparently and effectively. A total nine staff, from five different countries,
were recruited and form a project team for the implementation of the project activities. It
should be noted that the speedy recruitment of the project staff has provided the basic
mechanism for the effective implementation of the project activities approved by the Project
Steering Committee.
It is a pleasure of the Project Manager to report to the Project Steering Committee and
participating countries that the project staff recruited has shown effective operational skills
and initiatives to accomplish their work, are hard working, have a high level of ability to
complete the tasks at hand, and strong team-work spirit.
5.3 Information
Dissemination
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 21
The Project's homepage (http://www.yslme.org) provides 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. The first page is designed
to show the site's categories and contents for easy understanding and access. The visual
design of the front page is changed at regular 6-month intervals.
To accomplish the information delivery mission, the homepage has a link to an E-Discussion
forum (http://www.yslme.org/forum/). The PMO will initiate discussion topics and
continuously update the forum. Anyone can join and post messages.
One of the success indictors for this project will be regional communication and mutual
understanding The E-Discussion forum can be a solution for communication. Even though
the usage rate is currently low, if the forum becomes more active, it can be a good indicator
of the project's regional communication and co-ordination objective.
The E-Newsletter is issued at regular 3-month intervals. The newsletter includes PMO
inside news, various meeting's news, and Yellow Sea news. The newsletter is sent by e-
mail to project partners, and can also be accessed from the website. Anyone may contribute
news to the newsletter, by e-mailing his article to info@yslme.org.
Finally, the PMO is planning to establish a GIS webpage for the general public to understand
the Yellow Sea environment.
The PMO continues to seek better ways to communicate with the public and transmit
information. Suggestions in this regard are welcome.
5.4
Operation of the Office
Operation on project implementation
As this is first year of project implementation, the operation of this function has special
characteristics: new project, new project office, new staff, and new project management
structure.
As a new project, it is essential to establish the project operation system within the UNOPS
framework. With assistance of UNOPS staff, the operation system has been established in
the Project Management Office according to the rules and regulations of UNOPS. The
following operational structure was set up:
(i)
The Project Manager has been authorised by the Executive Director of UNOPS on
the operation of imprest account and management of the project activities;
(ii)
Imprest account, in both US dollar and Korean won, has been set up with assistance
of UNOPS technical staff, and necessary training was carried out in the PMO for
operating the accounts;
(iii)
A training workshop was organised by UNOPS for the project operation and
management in Geneva, September 2005. Three project staff participated in the
training workshop, and shared experiences and lessons with the staff from other
projects. The newly acquired knowledge was transferred to the rest of the PMO staff;
and
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 22
(iv)
Daily management of the project activities has been operated by the PMO with a total
of 14 contracts negotiated and concluded. There have been a total of 15 meetings
organised by the PMO, including PSC, RSTP, RWGs and technical meetings.
From the operation of the first year of the project implementation, the Project Manager is
confident that with the assistance of UNOPS and UNDP country offices, and with the co-
operation of the participating countries, the operation of the PMO will improve, and become
more smooth and effective in the years to come.
6.
Co-operation with other Organisations and Projects
To enhance the effectiveness of its conservation and communications activities, the Project
YSLME has pursued co-operation with a number of relevant international organisations and
NGOs.
During the First RSTP Meeting, members of the RSTP and representatives from potential
"partners" explored the possibility and mechanisms for successful co-operation.
Considerable mutual benefit was realised and this formed the impetus for partnerships
among a number of interested parties. As a result, an MOU was signed between YSLME
and YSEPP, laying the foundation stone for the "Yellow Sea Partnership" (see Section 3).
Since then, co-operation with other organisations has been pursued leading to the
development of MOUs with at least three other major partners including WI, MSC and
NOWPAP. All of these MOUs are currently at the signature stage.
All parties share the common objective of conserving and using the coastal and marine
resources of the Yellow Sea in a sustainable manner and will mutually benefit from this
cooperation through maximising the use of human and financial resources and avoiding
overlaps and duplication of work.
The purpose of the MOUs is to set out principles and the practical basis to cooperate in
promoting conservation and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources of the Yellow
Sea. The MOUs describe agreements for the exchanging of data and information, and
discussion of potential areas and mechanisms for co-operation and co-financing in
promoting protection of the marine and coastal environment, and sustainable use of marine
and coastal resources in the Yellow Sea. They also provide a framework for cooperation
and facilitate the collaboration between the parties in areas related to global environmental
issues of concern to each party, including promoting the "identification, formulation,
implementation, and monitoring and evaluation on issues of mutual interest." It is noted that
the activities and potential areas for collaboration identified under the MOUs represent
significant contributions towards meeting national commitments under such international
agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, Ramsar Convention on
Wetlands and FAO Code of Conduct for Sustainable Fisheries in the Yellow Sea areas. In
particular, the proposed activities will help answer the urgent need to address the under-
representation of protection of the marine and coastal ecosystem and will contribute to
building national frameworks of marine and coastal protection.
Currently, the PMO is developing a comprehensive workplan that integrates the
considerations and input (physical and financial) of all partners, detailing the agreed
activities, the schedule for each item and their cost requirements. A `Yellow Sea
Partnership' workshop is planned to be held in late February to formally initiate the activities
that will take place over the next 4 years.

Challenges to implementation of project activities
National co-ordination needs to be further strengthened
From the experiences of the implementation of the project activities during the first year, it
was apparent that effective co-ordination and co-operation at national level will not only
provide necessary support to the implementation of the project activities as agreed by the
PSC, but also ensure the quality of project outcomes. In order to ensure successful
preparation, and more importantly, approval of the TDA and SAP, the national co-ordination
and co-operation should be further ensured.
(i)
Enhancing the roles of the IMCC
During the first year, the Inter-Ministry Co-ordinating Committees were established in the
participating countries. However, due to various reasons and constraints, the meeting of
IMCC has not been organised, although communications between the relevant ministries
were well established.
(ii)
Enlarging participation in the national working groups, including NGOs
The national working groups for the project components have been well established in
the participating countries, and are playing key roles in project implementation.
Considering the tasks faced by the project, it would be more effective and beneficial to all
participating countries if more institutions, including NGOs, could be involved in the
project. It should be noted that by enlarging participation of more institutions, it 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.
(iii)
Involvement of local governments and communities in project activities
The involvement of local governments and communities has been well recognised by the
project during the PDF-B phase, and relevant activities were planned in the project
document. It should be noted that in order to obtain support from the local governments
and local communities in preparation, approval and implementation of the Strategic
Action Programme, and the National Strategic Action Plan, it would be more beneficial if
the local government and local communities could be involved in the project activities,
the earlier the better.
Better understanding of the UN and GEF financial rules and operational mechanisms
will assist with implementation
During the first year of implementing project activities, UN and GEF financial rules and
operational mechanisms have been understood better by the experts and relevant
institutions that are participating in the project. Some difficulties have been solved with
assistance from, and support of, the participating governments. Due to the complexities of
the project activities, better understanding of the rules and mechanisms is necessary and
beneficial to the project's success. For instance, in the case of participation of experts to the
project meetings, the project will only cover the travel costs at the most economic prices, and
would cover full or partial DSA according to UN rate. It is not possible for the project to
provide "consultancy fees" for the experts who participate in the meetings.
Prompt actions to adhere to the overall workplan for the implementation of the project
Due to the efforts of all institutions and experts involved in the project, the implementation of
the project activities have been successful in keeping to the overall schedule and workplan
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 24
of the project. As this is the first year of the project, some delays have happened during the
implementation of the project activities in the first year.
· Contracts
Some contracts were delayed due to lack of understanding of the procedure, and the
calculation of the project costs. Although some institutions and experts started the
work before the contracts were formally established, it is worthwhile to note the
technical requirements and procedures to establish contracts between the
institutions/experts and PMO/UNOPS. PMO has used all the possible occasions to
introduce the relevant procedures.
· Meetings
During the first year, there were a number of meetings that were organised. It has
been a challenge to all the project partners that the agreed meeting dates changed
too often with various reasons. With understanding of the busy schedule for the
experts involved in the project, it is critical to keep to the agreed meeting dates as
much as possible to avoid unnecessary further conflicts in meeting dates. It has
been a great difficulty to arrange the second round meetings of the RWGs, as four of
five meetings changed the originally agreed dates.
Communication between the national experts and PMO needs to be strengthened
Communication between the experts involved in the project and the PMO were satisfactory
in most cases. However, for some individuals, the communication should be strengthened,
also between "national project leaders" and their national team members. From the project
management point of view, we are expecting the responses from:
· Confirmation of participating in meetings (in case the decision can not be made
immediately, an acknowledgement of receipt of invitation, and possible date to
confirm the participation is needed);
· Responses according to various deadlines for implementing activities (in case the
deadlines cannot be kept, a notification would help with understanding the delay, and
new arrangements can be made);
· Responses on reminders; and
· Other communications require response to exchange views, and necessary actions.
Additionally, the "national project leaders" should transfer all information gleaned from RWG,
technical, RSTP, and PSC meetings to their national colleagues. This would ensure that all
parties are kept up-to-date with the implementation progress, and may discuss the issues
when required, without having to be informed about the developments.
Logistic arrangement will assist smooth implementation of the project activities
There were also some logistic challenges that affected the implementation of the project. If
solutions could be obtained, it would assist future implementation of the project.
(i) Stable
membership
During the first year, the members in some Regional Working Groups changed too often.
Consistent membership leads to better understanding of the project for the individual,
and also for the whole component. In this regard, stable membership would largely help
the implementation of project;
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 25
(ii) Re-entry
visa
Applications of necessary entry visa for both countries required a lot of effort of all the
persons concerned, including the experts attending the meetings, the PMO staff, and
National Focal Points. For instance, some of the PMO staff has undertaken 4 or 5
international trips this year to the same country, and each time, has had to apply for an
entry visa.
It would be much more helpful if the NPCs could consult with relevant national authorities
to issue re-entry visas to the project staff and experts concerned.
Recommendations for future implementation
Following a lengthy preparation phase, the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea project has finally
reached its implementation phase, with a successful inception period. Thanks to the efforts
made by all the partners of the project, the first year's implementation has been completed
according to the workplan approved by the first meeting of the Project Steering Committee.
Based on the experiences and lessons learnt during the first year's implementation, the
Project Manager and his staff in the Project Management Office would like to make the
following recommendations to the PSC for better and more effective implementation of the
remainder of the project.
Recommendation 1. The momentum generated within the framework of the project
should be maintained and increased.
The participating countries have fully realised the importance of protecting the marine
environment and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources in the Yellow Sea, which
has been listed as priorities on the national agendas of sustainable development. Through
the co-operations under this project and other activities, the governments of the participating
countries recognise that the tasks in protecting Yellow Sea marine environment and rational
use of coastal and marine resources can only be fulfilled through co-operation with all the
coastal countries involved. The support from GEF and UNDP has generated strong
momentum in the region. In order to keep the political and scientific momentum, and
enhance more effective co-operation, the following actions are very important for the future
implementation of the project activities:
· Generating more political support by IMCC within the participating countries;
· Continuing to build up stronger and more stable national teams in implementing the
approved project activities; and
· Enhancing more effective regional co-operating mechanism, not only within the
project framework, but through the "Yellow Sea Partnership" developed by the
project.
Recommendation 2. Mutual understanding and mutual trust among the participating
countries should be built up based on better understanding through improved co-
operation.
Based on the experiences of various activities in the Yellow Sea, the participating countries
realised that effective co-operation in solving marine environmental problems in the Yellow
UNDP/GEF/YS/PSC.2/3
Annex III
Page 26
Sea rely on mutual understanding and mutual trust. Currently, the general co-operation
atmosphere has been developed by all the partners involved in the Yellow Sea region. In
the meantime, it is the willingness of all the partners that the mutual understanding and
trusts are still critical for the success of the project. In particular, the following
recommendations are essential:
· More open policy on marine environment data and information sharing and
exchange; and
· More joint activities should be organised along the line of the co-operative study
cruises planned under the project.
Recommendation 3. Enhanced national co-ordination will ensure the success and
sustainability of the project.
One of the objectives of the project is to enhance national co-ordination in protecting the
Yellow Sea. Effective co-ordination will not only ensure smooth implementation of the
project, and ensure the successful preparation and approval of the regional Strategic Action
Programme, but will also contribute to the sustainability of the project's benefits to the
region. To achieve this goal, the following activities are recommended:
· Establishing a multi-ministry IMCC, and use the IMCC as the mechanism for
nationally co-ordinating implementation of project activities; and
· Establishing appropriate linkages and co-operation with all relevant national projects
in the Yellow Sea, which will assist with YSLME project implementation, as well as
assist with all the co-operative projects to achieve their individual goals.
Recommendation 4. Clearly defined usage of national co-financing resources
During the project inception phase, national co-financing from the participating countries has
increased dramatically from about US$ 8 million to US$ 13 million, which has provided a
much stronger support to the project activities. During the first year of implementation, there
were a number of cases that needed clear indication on the usage of national co-financing.
Therefore, it is recommended that clearer indications on the use of national co-financing
resources are necessary and urgent.

Second RSTP Meeting Chairperson's Report
Executive Summary
Of the Second Meeting of the Regional Scientific and Technical Panel
The second meeting of the Regional Scientific and Technical Panel was organised in
Kunming, China, 15-17 December 2005, with participation of experts from the participating
countries, China and Republic of Korea. The experts from DPR Korea attended the meeting
as observers. Representatives from WWF, Wetlands International, UNEP/NOWPAP, and
EAS/RCU also attended the meeting as observers. The meeting elected Mr. Haiqing Li as
the Chairperson and Dr. Hyung-Tack Huh as Vice Chairperson.
The meeting discussed and agreed on following major issues:
The meeting considered the Project Manager's report on the implementation of project
activities during 2005. The meeting expressed its satisfaction on the implementation
and expressed appreciation to Project Management Office (PMO) for their hard work:
(i)
With emphasis on the importance of regional co-operation and co-ordination, the
meeting adopted the "Strategy for Public Awareness and Participation,"
understanding that the Strategy will be improved during the implementation.
(ii)
The meeting welcomed the efforts of the Project Manager in involving DPRK in
the project, with assistance from the NPC, China, and was pleased about the
