Abstract. In the South China Sea region there has been a rapidly increasing rate of seagrass loss and decline.The UNEP/GEF South China Sea Project attempts to reverse the degradation trends in marine habitats, including seagrass beds, in the region. Hence, for the period 2002-2007, it is developing both national and regional initiatives for habitat interventions to facilitate the reversal process. It aims to establish sites where the effects of sound management on the environment, biodiversity, and lives of people can be demonstrated. |
