Transboundary diagnostic analysis. Vol. 2. Background and environmental assessment

The Transboundary Diagnosis Analysis(TDA) quantifies and ranks water-related environmental transboundary issues and their causes according to the severity of environmental and/or socio-economic impacts. The three main issues in BOBLME are; overexploitation of marine living resources; degradation of mangroves, coral reefs and seagrasses; pollution and water quality. Volume 2 contains background material that sets out the bio-physical and socio-economic characteristics of the BOBLME; an analysis of the legal,policy and administrative context; and an assessment of the status of marine living resources and marine environment in coastal areas
