DESCRIPTION:
The initial risk assessment of the Malacca Straits is focused on the effects of land-based and sea-based activities, and the contaminants deriving from them, on living and non-living resources of the Straits of Malacca, including ecological, human and societal components. The Malacca Straits Environmental Profile (1996) was the primary resource document for the initial risk assessment. The Profile was completed as part of the Malacca Straits Demonstration Project, a component of the GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the Prevention and Management of Marine Pollution in the East Asian Seas. The Profile provides an inventory of natural resources in the Straits with special reference to pollution risks, compiles existing management policies, strategies, practices and initiatives taken by major players, and identifies pollution sources and activities.
