Some Facts
o 8 countries
o 6.2 million km2
o 450 million people affected
Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) Project
Transboundary issues
• over exploitation of fish stocks
• habitat degradation
• land based pollution

NEW “A healthy ecosystem and sustainable use of marine living resources for the benefit of the countries of the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem “
OLD: “to formulate an agreed on Strategic Action Programme (SAP) whose implementation over time will lead to an environmentally healthy BOBLME”

Expected Outcomes of the BOBLME Project
• Healthier habitats and ecosystems, sustainable fisheries
• Capacity development
• Stronger governance and regional cooperation
• Increased understanding and better knowledge
• Implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
Management (EAFM)

Regional reviews on ICM, policy, fisheries management, MPAs, pollution
Bilateral consultative processes initiated in transboundary critical habitats
EAFM framework in place (regional assessments, advisories, WGs / RFMAC, EAFM Training
Most valuable results/innovations/lessons in the areas of process, stress reduction & environmental status
![Page 13: Rudolf Hermes - BOBLME Presentation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b9dd104a79599a2e8b45c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ecosystem Approach (Convention on Biological Diversity, CBD)
Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries, EAF(Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO)
Integrated approach to fisheries to balance diverse societal objectives, within ecologically meaningful boundaries
A strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way
