Integrated Management of Watersheds in Relation to Management and Conservation of Nearshore Coastal and Marine Areas in the East Asian Seas Region: Phase 1 - Assessment of Effects of River Discharges of Sediments, Nutrients and Pollutants on Coastal Wetlands, Seagrass Beds and Coral Reefs; A Regional Overview – RCU/EAS Technical Reports Series No. 13

This document synthesizes the national inventories and synopses in four thematic overviews on coral reefs, seagrass beds, coastal wetlands, and watersheds and attempts to focus on the linkages between the sources of SNP in the watersheds and their impacts on the coastal and marine environment. The second Workshop of the EAS-35 Project was held in Bangkok, 16-20 October 1 995. This workshop led to the realization that there should be an integrative chapter in the technical report to illustrate the linkage of watershed conditions or activities with the environmental conditions in coastal wetlands, seagrass beds, and coral reefs.
