Regional Targets for SDSRegional Targets for SDS--SEA SEA ImplementationImplementation
1. Haikou Partnership Agreement (2006)
National coastal and ocean policy and supporting institutional mechanisms in 70% of countries
Implementation of ICM in at least 20% of the region’s coastline
2. Manila Declaration (2009)
Scale up the implementation of ICM for sustainable development and climate change adaptation in at least 20% of the region’s coastline
Report on the progress made on ICM implementation every 3 years
What are the expected results… the desired outcomes?

State of the Coasts Reporting
What is the State of the Coasts?
Reporting system to assess the progress and impacts of ICM implementation by local governments
Designed as operational tool of local governments for use in ICM program implementation
Integrated and comprehensive approach that documents and measures policy and management interventions in addressing coastal issues
Objectives of SOC
SOC BaselineProvide comprehensive qualitative and quantitative baseline information on demographic, socioeconomic, environmental status and management actions;Determine existing governance mechanisms and implementing arrangements in place;Determine and prioritize pertinent issues that can be included in an ICM program;Sets baseline social, economic and environmental conditions, which changes can be compared over time;Identify critical data gaps that need further research and monitoring.
Objectives of SOC
SOC Report on Ongoing ICM Programs/Updating of SOCReview scope of ICM program;Delineate governance mechanisms and implementing arrangements in place;Assess extent and effectiveness of ICM program implementation;Identify trends or changes in social, economic and environmental status;Determine driving forces for change;Assess implications of trends;Promote adaptive management in ICM program in response to changing conditions.
Development of SOC Reporting System
Indicators – simple, meaningful and measurable; easy applicability in the region but complements those of WSSD, MDG, Agenda 21, SDS-SEA and other relevant regional and international instruments

Process/Output• Local governments empowered to manage marine and coastal resources• Local coastal strategies• Length of municipal coastlines under an integrated management program• Disaster management plans and programs
State/Environmental• Vulnerable coastlines to disasters • Sewage treatment• Drinking water• Waste management
Agenda 21/WSSD/MDG
Social/Economic• Proportion of population below national poverty lines• Employment-to-population ratio• Prevalence of underweight children under-five years of age• Net enrolment ratio in primary education
State/Environmental• Proportion of terrestrial and marine areas protected• Proportion of population with improved drinking water source• Proportion of population with improved sanitation

Guidebook on the State of the Coasts
Provides framework and guidelines on the development and implementation of SOCUnderwent Expert’s review (Experts from within and outside the EAS region)Adopted as PEMSEA-certified document by the EAS Partnership CouncilTested in sites across the EAS region
PEMSEA provides assistance during the following stages of SOC development and implementation
Inception workshop to establish SOC technical teams and develop action plans, followed by data gatheringField validation, analysis of results and preparation of draft report, andStakeholders’ validation and finalization of SOC report

Benefits to Local Governments
Provides integrated and comprehensive evaluation process for ICM implementation that serves as basis for reviewing and improving the management program Documents policy, environmental, social and economic conditions in the area to support policy-and decision-makingFacilitates systematic monitoring of local, national and international sustainable development targetsStandardized monitoring process allowing cross comparison across ICM sites

Future of SOC implementation
The application of the SOC reporting is being promoted across the EAS region. PEMSEA Network of Local Governments (PNLG) has committed to implement SOC in 100 percent of member sites by 2015As more and more local governments develop their SOC reports, a clearer picture of the actual state of the coasts of the EAS region will emerge.
