EAST ASIAN SEAS CONGRESS 2015Message from the Prime Minister ofSocialist Republic of Viet NamConserving and protecting the Seas of East Asia is an undertaking that unites the region and I am very pleased that Viet Nam andits government are contributing significantly to this gigantic task. With 2015 being a landmark year for assessment and reflectionfor East Asian region, we must take stock of what has been done and what lies ahead towards sustainable development. In thisyear’s EAS Congress in Da Nang, we are optimistic that a closer evaluation of programming implemented in the last 22 years and thegathering of champions of the seas from all over East Asia will yield tighter cooperation, more impactful initiatives, and an objectivelook at lessons learned.We hope that in the five-day duration of the EAS Congress, people of various backgrounds with an interest in forwarding sustainabledevelopment and integrated coastal management – managers, CEOs, community leaders, scientists and scholars – can presentsolutions and innovations to the relevant leaders on the national and local levels. The various forums, panel discussions, and fieldvisits at this year’s Congress can facilitate better communication and understanding on many key issues and, most importantly, theimplementation of SDS-SEA beyond 2015 and our push towards a ‘blue economy’. The life of East Asia’s coastal people and thoseliving beyond depend on the outcomes of this Congress and similar undertakings will bring forth.We are honored that our country was chosen as host for this year’s Congress. Vietnam has made sustainable development a keypart of its journey towards progress. Our commitment to balancing economic growth with ecological conservation is outlined inthe country’s Sustainable Development Strategy for 2011-2020, which aims to balance sustainable growth with social progress andequality, national resources and environmental protection among other goals. The broader national plan called Strategic Directionfor Sustainable Development, or Vietnam Agenda 21, serves as a framework for ministries and other stakeholders to follow duringthe implementation of programs. We spent considerable time and effort in drafting these wide-ranging national plans and we assureyou that we will exert the same amount of energy, if not more, during the implementation phase.On behalf of the people of Viet Nam, I would like to thank confirmed and potential participants, as well as the organizers for thetime they are investing in making the 2015 EAS Congress a success. I am confident that enthusiasm and true concern for theconservation and protection of marine life and the preservation of oceanic biodiversity will make this year’s Congress impactful.Let us all move forward with a clear vision for success. With creativity, optimism and cooperation, our goals shall be within reach.4H.E. Nguyen Tan DungPrime MinisterSocialist Republic of Viet Nam

Message from the Minister of Ministry ofNatural Resources and Environment (MONRE)We would like to thank the EAS Congress 2015 organizing committee for choosing Vietnam as this year’s host country. As we eagerlyawait the arrival of participants from all over the region, we in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) throughthe Vietnam Administrations of Seas and Islands (VASI) and other agencies are preparing to provide all the support needed for theevent, employing the same zeal and enthusiasm we use in implementing integrated coastal management programs through studiedand fleshed-out policies and strategies that have made Vietnam one of the staunch supporters and implementers of the SustainableDevelopment Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA).The Government of Vietnam, through the Ministry, is committed to achieve sustainable coastal development through the implementationof integrated management of sea sand islands, including ICM. Its partnership with PEMSEA and other stakeholders has enabled thescaling up of ICM in other coastal areas of the country. Seven coastal provinces and cities (Nam Dinh, Quang Ninh, Haiphong Ba Ria-VungTau, Kien Giang, Soc Trang and Khan Hoa) became priority areas for ICM implementation for 2011-2015, along with the three existingICM sites of PEMSEA, namely Danang, Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue. This commitment to sustainable development and cooperationhas made Vietnam the ideal venue for this year’s Congress. With many model sites to view and study, participants will see first-hand theresults of an effective ICM framework combined with practical and inclusive on-the-ground management.The year’s theme called “Global Targets, Local Benefits: Setting the Sustainable Agenda for the Seas of East Asia” fits excellently intoVietnam’s integrated sea and island management success. We hope that our experiences will be of benefit to all participants and aid inthe formulation of innovative strategies for scaling up ICM programs in other areas, as well as showcasing good practices and initiativesthat will lead us to a blue economy.The seas of East Asia are interconnected with many shared natural resources; and therefore, the conservation and protection of naturalresources and environment of the Seas of East Asia need the cooperation of East Asian Seas countries. Through the Congress, we wouldlike to convey a message to all of you that “Please cooperate in the conservation and protection of natural resources and environmentof the Seas of East Asia for our benefits.”We would like to thank all of you who have entrusted the task of hosting to us and hope that our triumphs as well as the lessons welearned in achieving ICM goals will serve you all.H.E. Nguyen Minh QuangMinisterMinistry of Natural Resources and Environment5

EAST ASIAN SEAS CONGRESS 2015Message from the Chairman of thePeople’s Committee of Da NangOn behalf of the Da Nang People’s Committee, I am very pleased and proud that the East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress2015 will be taking place in our city, a national integrated coastal management (ICM) site. This the first time in thehistory of the Congress that an ICM site, and a demonstration site — is chosen as the Congress’ venue. Da Nang hasbecome an ICM site since 2000 and is one of the eight national ICM demonstration sites established by PEMSEA. Upto now, Da Nang has been a flourishing ICM city with a stably developing economic growth city in Viet Nam, and hasbecome a regional showcase for ICM.Da Nang City is glad to show Congress attendees the continuing progress the city is experiencing and its transformationinto an environmentally friendly city. This is thanks to the huge efforts of the city people and local government,especially the support from the Central Government, nongovernmental organizations and PEMSEA in formulating andimplementing sustainable development programs based on sound research, effective and inclusive consultations, andthe determination to preserve the coastal environment by making people an indispensible part of conservation. Thecity has carried out many solutions to help its people become aware of coastal environment protection, encouragingthem to become people who manage and preserve natural resources on their coastal area.In addition to participating in the Congress, delegates can see the charming natural beauty of Da Nang. The city issurrounded by majestic mountains, beaches with white sands and historical structures. It is also a living place formany rare animal species. As we gather to protect coasts, we will all be well treated by the magnificence of this vibrantcity in Central Viet Nam.We warmly welcome all of you. May you experience many wonderful offerings of the city as we work towards abetter future for the people of East Asia through the preservation of the region’s marine life while providing livelihoodopportunities for coastal communities. Thank you and enjoy your stay in Da Nang!Hon. Huynh Duc ThoChairmanDa Nang People’s Committee6

Message from the EAS Partnership Council ChairAs PEMSEA moves toward self-sustainability and strengthened regional ownership, it is worth noting how it has been able togalvanize the strong support of its partners in the last two decades.With the East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress as one of its operating mechanisms, PEMSEA was able to mobilize countries andother stakeholders to share lessons learned, replicate best practices, and scale up initiatives in sustainably managing theseas of East Asia.Since the inaugural EAS Congress held 12 years ago, PEMSEA have provided a conducive platform in mainstreaming integratedcoastal management (ICM) by building partnerships among national and local governments, scientific communities, projectimplementers, funding agencies, corporate institutions and even the youth sector. The triennial forum has also become avenue for these stakeholders to integrate plans and actions directed toward a stronger EAS region.This year’s EAS Congress lies in a pivotal position since we will start laying the foundations for updating regional goals inline with the global discussions on post-2015 sustainable development targets. The theme “Global Targets – Local Benefits:Setting the Sustainable Development Agenda for the Seas of East Asia Beyond 2015” reflects these objectives.Alongside the EAS Congress, the Fifth Ministerial Forum will delve into policy directions and strengthened commitmentsamong our Country and Non-Country Partners in adopting an updated Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of EastAsia (SDS-SEA) and setting post-2015 targets for PEMSEA.On behalf of the EAS Partnership Council, I wish to express our utmost gratitude to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, throughthe Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment the Viet Nam Administration of Seas and Islands (VASI), and People’sCommittee of Da Nang for their tremendous support and enthusiasm. I look forward to everyone’s valuable participation andcontribution throughout the Congress.Welcome to the EAS Congress 2015!Amb. Mary Seet-ChengChairEAS Partnership Council7

It is an opportune time forPEMSEA’s Country and Non-Country Partners, as well as other collaborators in region, to initiate post-2015 dialogue and outlinenew targets guided by the global sustainable development agenda, as well as regional and national priorities and objectives.Realizing its value as an intellectual marketplace and partnership hub, the EAS Congress 2015 is a gathering of regional expertsand project implementers to share experiences and monitor the region’s progress and impact in addressing emerging threatsand challenges faced by the seas of East Asia.To this end, the EAS Congress 2015 features workshops and key events — including the Fifth Ministerial Forum, InternationalConference on Sustainable Coastal and Ocean Development, and the Fourth EAS Youth Forum — focusing on the theme “GlobalTargets – Local Benefits: Setting the Sustainable Development Agenda for the Seas of East Asia Beyond 2015.”As a testament to the country’s progress and commitment, the EAS Congress 2015 is being held in Da Nang, Viet Nam, recognizingViet Nam’s efforts in championing integrated coastal management (ICM) at both the national and local levels. We expressour sincerest appreciation to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, through the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment(MONRE), the Viet Nam Administration of Seas and Islands (VASI), and the People’s Committee of Da Nang.
