The East Asian Seas region contains the world's richest marine biodiversity and produces about 41 per cent of the world's total fish catch. However, rates of urbanisation are rapidly increasing in the region, and there are growing concerns regarding wastewater pollution from domestic, industrial and commercial sewage. This publication presents the proceedings of a regional workshop held in Japan in September 2001 to discuss the development of regional guidelines for the control and treatment of sewage in order to protect the environment and public health.
This publication is made up of two complete United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reports. The first is on The Meeting of the Regional Group of Experts on the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), which took place in Phuket, Thailand, from 28-30 January 2002. The second one is on the First ICRAN Regional Workshop on Experience Sharing Between Demonstration and Target Sites in the East Asian Seas, held at the same venue from 26-27 August 2002.
