Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem
Project Summary
The project will develop an agreed strategic action program for the sustainable management of the Bay of Bengal Large Marine(LME) Ecosystem. The executing agency (FAO) would work with the 7 governments to address transboundary marine resources issues along the coast of this LME. During preparation, some opportunities for World Bank financing may arise to address the key issues. Among them would be land-based sources of marine pollution, artisanal fisheries versus commercial fisheries, habitat conservation and restoration, and potentially ICM stratgeies for adapting to extreme climatic events that devaste coastal communities.
