The “UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) Project” aims to
facilitate protection and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources in the
Yellow Sea. To achieve this objective, the Project has identified management
actions in its preparation of the SAP. It is expected that implementing the
management actions will mitigate environmental problems in the Yellow Sea and
improve its diverse ecosystems.
The Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem is defined in the Project Document as the
body of water delineated at the south, by a line connecting the north bank of
the mouth of the Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) to the south side of Cheju; at the
east, by a line connecting Cheju Island to Jindo Island along the coast of the
Republic of Korea; and to the north, a line connecting Dalian to Penglai (on the
Shandong Peninsula). This latter line separates the Bohai Sea from the Yellow
Sea and as a result is not included in the project.
The demonstration activity will be administered by UNOPS through the Project
Management Office in Ansan, Republic of Korea.
