Brief History of Marine Environmental Management

(Nam, 2004)

1968 1996 2000 Establishment of institutional mechanism

’68~’88 Coastal & Marine National Parks

’75~’82 Fisheries Reserves

’02~’03 Marine Ecosystem & LandReserves

’96~’98 Wildlife Habitats ’00~’04 Uninhabited

Protected islands

’01~’03 Wetlands Protected Areas

Broadening of policy scope Ecosystem-based

Approach Introduction

Introduction of a comprehensive ocean management system Revision of legal & institutional mechanism for COMPAs National Plans & Policies

Expansion of MPAs’ areas Episodic Implementation Surveys to support decision-making Public awareness on coastal wetland protection

Lack of follow-up actions afterward desig. Land-based approach (extension of land NP)

Development of Marine Ecosystem Protection
