Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) continues to build and strengthen coastal and ocean governance in the seas of East Asia through intergovernmental, interagency and multistakeholder partnerships.

PEMSEA's major activities, outputs and outcomes over the past 15 years serve as the foundation on which new initiatives and action programs are being developed and undertaken.

In 2003, PEMSEA participating countries adopted the Putrajaya Declaration of Regional Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Seas of East Asia. By adopting the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA), a regional policy commitment is conveyed and helps to forge stakeholder partnership arrangements in addressing areas of concern.

In November 2009, eight East Asian nations signed the Agreement Recognizing the Legal Personality of PEMSEA, which transforms PEMSEA into a full-fledged international body to work for sustainable development of the region’s coastal and marine areas. Eleven Ministers and high-level delegates also signed the Manila Declaration on Strengthening the Implementation of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) for Sustainable Development and Climate Change Adaptation in the Seas of the East Asia Region.
