Bohai Sea Sustainable Development Strategy

The Bohai Sea Sustainable Development Strategy (BS-SDS) describes the socioeconomic conditions of the Bohai Sea region, its cultural and environmental background, its resources, the values of its environmental diversity and the threats facing these values. It is premised on the Bohai Sea Declaration adopted in 2000 by the surrounding three provinces and one municipality, and was developed through concerted consultation and consensus building among coastal provinces, municipalities, government agencies, concerned sectors and other stakeholders. It is the stakeholders' response to the Bohai Sea Declaration.
