DESCRIPTION:

This Coastal Environmental Profile of Xiamen is one of the initial inputs of the Integrated Task Team of the Xiamen Demonstration Project (ITT-XDP). It is a synthesis of available information provided by or acquired from various government agencies, institutions and groups within the Xiamen. This Profile represents the Team's assessment on the environmental and socioeconomic status of Xiamen, including its institutional and legal characteristics from a multidimensional perspective. The purpose of this Profile is not simply to characterize Xiamen and its myriad activities but also identify crucial management issues affecting or will affect it, including data gaps which could shed further light on the identified management issues. From there, recommendations are made on how to address the issues and achieve the overall strategic environmental management plan, as well as articulate the actions to address the management issues identified in this Profile.
