    The Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem provides food and livelihoods for millions of people. It features important critical habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds. The eight countries surrounding the Bay of Bengal - Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand - committed themselves to work together through the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) Project to better the lives of coastal communities through improved regional management of the Bay of Bengal environment and its fisheries.

    The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem is a region shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and north coast of Timor-Leste (2 percent). Characterized by warm surface temperature and the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) that contributes to climate regulation, the region is a hub of mega biodiversity with unique habitats and ecosystems that offer high fisheries productivities and various other ecosystem goods and services. However, its valuable resources have for years been increasingly exploited by various resource users.Indonesia and Timor-Leste, with FAO support, formulated the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) in close collaboration with expert stakeholders. The TDA is an intensive, scientific document that leads to the identification of the five Primary Environmental Concerns (PECs), namely (i) declining productivity and sustainability of ISLME fishery and aquaculture, (ii) degradation and loss of marine habitats, (iii) marine and land-based pollution, (iv) decline of biodiversity and key species, (v) climate change impacts.

    Final evaluation of the project “Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME)”
    GCP/INT/023/GFF GEF ID: 1909
    2019
    Also available in:
    The project "Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) " was a regional initiative to set-forth governance reforms, investments and management programmes to help CCLME countries address priority transboundary concerns regarding the reduction of fisheries and related biodiversity and water quality. Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) were achieved despite difficult working contexts. By formally adopting the SAP, participating countries confirmed their interest in and commitment to the ecosystem-based approach to marine and coastal resource management. Continuation of this success all depends on activities during the transition phase, which aim to enhance scientific achievements of the project and seek synergies with other national and regional initiatives.
