Summary report - BEHP/IA/03/03: Harmonisation of national environmental policies and legislation for marine mining, dredging and offshore petroleum exploration and production activities in the BCLME
Contracted to: Southern African Institute for Environmental Assessment (SAIEA)
Authors: Vlady Russo and Luisa Campos (Angola); Dr Peter Tarr and Ger Kegge (Namibia); Terry Winstanley and Cormac Cullinan (South Africa)
Completion date: October 2004
Summary: The objective of project BEHP/IA/03/03 is to facilitate the harmonisation of national policies and legislation relating to marine mining, dredging and petroleum exploration and production, thereby promoting environmental sustainability through responsible best practices.
The project consists of a review of national policies and legislation relating to the environmental impacts of marine mining, dredging, and offshore petroleum exploration and production activities in Angola, Namibia and South Africa. The review was followed by consultative meetings with senior government officials, industry representatives and other selected stakeholders to discuss the project’s findings, conclusions and recommendations.

Summary report: LMR/COM/03/01 - An assessment of means of involving coastal communities in the BCLME Programme
Contracted to: Eco-Africa
Completion date: March 2004
Summary: The objectives of project LMR/COM/03/01 were to broadly determine what community groups exist in the coastal areas of the BCLME and to identify certain pilot projects that might be undertaken on a community basis. The report’s findings point to ways in which the BCLME Programme can play a catalytic role in bringing about community involvement in issues of concern to the BCLME Programme and the region.
Over a two-year period, a number of field trips were undertaken to selected areas along the 4 000km coastline of the BCLME. Discussions were held with community members and stakeholders with a view to determining how coastal inhabitants can be involved in the BCLME Programme in a manner that is meaningful to them, while at the same time advancing the overall goals of the Programme.

Summary Report - PCU/BCC/04/02: Economic study and cost benefit analysis of co-operative research and management for the BCLME
Contracted to: Fisheries Economics Research Unit, University of British Columbia
Authors: Ussif Rashid Sumaila, Gordon Munro and Heather Keith
Completion date: November 2004
Summary: The main purpose of this study was to analyse the economics of fishery management and other marine industries in the BCLME and review the case for and against regional co-operation in managing the BCLME. The analysis was undertaken for the major transboundary commercial fisheries of the region, using the hake fisheries as an example. The report concludes that the potential for obtaining net benefits from regional co-operative management of the BCLME are huge, and recommends that the establishment of an Interim Benguela Current Commission (IBCC) should be pursued.

Contracted to: EnAct International
Authors: Cormac Cullinan, Svein Munkejord and Heidi Currie
Completion date: November 2004
Summary: The report concludes that the establishment of a Benguela Current Commission can be justified on several grounds, including the need for an appropriate institutional mechanism to implement the ecosystem approach; to fulfil existing international obligations and undertakings of the three BCLME countries; to develop a better understanding of the BCLME; to improve the management of human impacts on the BCLME; to facilitate regional capacity building; and to increase the benefits derived from shared fish stocks.
