Abstract: The Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) provides the technical and scientific basis for the logical development of a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) that is based on a reasoned, holistic and multisectoral consideration of the problems associated with the state of and threats to transboundary water systems and resources. This report reviews and reformulates the Thematic Report for the Guianas-Brazil Sub-region into the Continental Shelf Ecosystem Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis with an ecosystem
approach to fisheries (EAF).

Abstract: This report addresses the governance aspects of udpating the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis for the CLME Project. The importance of having an effective governance regime in place to address the sustainability of the living marine resources of the WCR was identified during the project development phase of the CLME Project as the principal driver underpinning the actions to be taken in the full Project.

It provides an overview of the governance issues identified in the preliminary TDA, then reviews the Large Marine Ecosystems Governance Framework that was developed for and adopted by the project as a basis for the project design. Next the report reviews advances in ocean governance thinking globally and regionally that should assist the project to move forward. Finally, the report considers how the original governance perspective, as well as the subsequent advances in ocean governance, can be incorporated into the new orientation towards a fishery ecosystem-based approach to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date approach to governance for the CLME Project.

Abstract: An important component of International Waters projects of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a transboundary diagnostic analysis (TDA), which is an objective, non-negotiated assessment using best available verified scientific information to examine the state of the environment and the root causes for its degradation. This current report presents the TDAs for the CLME reef and pelagic fisheries ecosystems. These TDAs were elaborated on the basis of the previous sub-regional thematic reports for the Insular Caribbean and Central/South America as well as on additional data and information.

Abstract: This report is the revised and updated Regional Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) based on TDAs of three fisheries ecosystems of regional significance: the reef, pelagic and continental shelf fisheries ecosystems. This Regional TDA (supported by the three fisheries TDAs and a regional governance analysis) will serve as the science basis for development of an agreed program of interventions including fisheries management reforms, conservation measures and pollution control. A Strategic Action Programme (SAP) with a shared vision for the CLME will be developed, and required priority interventions, reforms and investments to address the main transboundary problems agreed to.
