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.

    Some 400 million people live in the Bay of Bengal area, and rely on it for food and livelihoods. Many subsist at or below the poverty level. Further degradation of the coastal and marine resources of the Bay is likely to have a severe impact on the quality of life and on economic growth prospects in the region. This Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) project, which was conducted alongside parallel projects supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), was the first phase of a larger intervention. The whole programme has the long-term goal of improving the lives of the coastal populations in the eight countries surrounding the Bay of Bengal -Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand -through enhanced regional management of the Bay of Bengal environment and its fisheries.

    This document reports on the proceedings and decisions of a four-day regional workshop on the “Precautionary Approach to Fishery Management” (referred to in the text as PA2FM), held from 25 February to 28 February, 1997, in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was organized by the Directorate-General of Fisheries, Indonesia, and supported by the FAO and the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The workshop was meant to clarify and discuss the implications of PA2FM and show how such an approach to management enables sustainable development of fisheries resources in BOBP member-countries and beyond. The workshop was expected to endow participants with practical skills and knowledge on PA2FM methods. The workshop was attended by 18 representatives from member-countries of the BOBP, and seven resource persons from within and outside the region.
