Coastal and Ocean Governance
Over the last 14 years, PEMSEA has been assisting countries in the region in meeting international obligations related to coasts and oceans by providing technical support in formulating relevant national policies and establishing legal frameworks for sustainable coastal and ocean development that are hinged on the integrated approach to coastal management.
Integrated Coastal Management
Over a decade of practical ICM implementation in the East Asian region has produced a significant number of site-specific publications, prepared by local working groups, which present key information essential for effective coastal management.
Socioeconomic Valuation and Sustainable Financing
In order to ensure sustainability of ICM implementation, PEMSEA promotes institutionalization of ICM programs into development plans of local governments and use of innovative approaches such as public-private partnerships to leverage more financial and human resources. Tools and methodologies to quantify goods and services provided by coastal and marine resources in terms of monetary values, assess benefits and costs associated with specific development or management options, evaluate social acceptability of investments, and package viable investment options have also been applied.
Management Tools and Methodologies
PEMSEA places considerable importance in employing technical tools and methodologies that integrate scientific information to support better-informed coastal management and decisionmaking. Specialized technical skills, a critical mass of interdisciplinary experts that could support local and central governments, and published applications have been generated with the use of these manuals.
Tropical Coasts Magazine
Tropical Coasts provides critical information and analysis on today's most pressing coastal and marine issues, information that could mean the difference in research and decision-making. Each issue covers a major theme with supporting articles specifically chosen and tailored to cover significant stories of relevance. The wide variety of topics include oil spill compensation, integrated coastal management, marine pollution prevention, coastal tourism, conflict resolution, public-private partnerships and sustainable financing, to name a few.
