DESCRIPTION:
PEMSEA's latest accomplishment report presents the achievements and collaborative actions of the organization from July 2011 to July 2013. The events and successes of the past two years were both crucial and meaningful to PEMSEA as it celebrates 20 years of pursuing the shared vision of sustainable development in the East Asian Seas, and prepares to advance to the next phase of scaling up the implementation of the SDS-SEA. Aside from completing the activities and consolidating the results of the regional project on SDS-SEA implementation, PEMSEA has also taken significant steps these past two years in establishing itself as a full-fledged self-sustaining regional organization. PEMSEA has also focused on increasing its efforts in enhancing the region's intellectual capital and human resources in ICM through capacity development programs; and promoting PEMSEA's message to a wider audience through events, policy advocacy, and communications and media. As highlighted in this report, PEMSEA has also scaled up the implementation of ICM in several coastal communities and has put forward initiatives in strengthening, as well as documenting, the region’s wealth of knowledge and experience in marine and coastal governance.
