dc.descriptionSome 400 million people live in the Bay of Bengal area, and rely on it for food and livelihoods. Many subsist at or below the poverty level. Further degradation of the coastal and marine resources of the Bay is likely to have a severe impact on the quality of life and on economic growth prospects in the region. This Global Environment Facility (GEF) International Waters (IW) project, which was conducted alongside parallel projects supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), was the first phase of a larger intervention. The whole programme has the long-term goal of improving the lives of the coastal populations in the eight countries surrounding the Bay of Bengal -Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand -through enhanced regional management of the Bay of Bengal environment and its fisheries.
