Bang Saen: 7 Nov 07

Dr. Yves Henoque, CHARM's EU Co-Director gave a talk on "Environmental Profile as a Tool for Planning of Highly Utilized Deltaic Area: Ban Don Bay, Surat Thani Province, Southern Thailand" today. As a national project tasked with the establishment and testing of a workable "co-management model," a series of tools for helping the conflicting parties to settle their differences have been devised by the Project; and they will soon be made available for free downloading at this website.

The Delta 2007 is a 3-day event held from 7 November at The Tide Resort on Bang Saen beach, Chonburi province. It is co-sponsored by FAO, CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food, IWMI, IRRI, WorldFish Center, and Burapha University. the Conference was attended by scientists and administrators from Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Netherlands, Nigeria, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Thailand, and Vietnam. Oficials from FAO-RAP, IWMI, IRRI, WorldFish Center, Burapha University, University of Hawaii, and University of Newcastle also attended.

Bangkok: 8 Nov 2007

 
CHARM's Project Management Unit (PMU) welcomes IUCN's Dr. Janaka de Silva and SIDA's Dr. Tim Greenhow for a consultative meeting today. Representing CHARM, Mr. Damrong Silpachai, Policy-Institutional Specialist, Mr. Thewan Thanamalarat, MCS Cooordinator, and Ms.Punnee Sinsupan, Liaison Officer gave information on CHARM's lessons learned during its 5-year intervention at the community, Tambon, and provincial levels in Southern Thailand. In assisting the "Mangrove for the Future--MFF" project, Dr. Greenhow has been on the mission for assisting IUCN in the formulation of activities for MFF. "The CHARM's lessons learned would be valuable inputs to MFF, particularly the ideas on how demonstration sites can be selected, what to demonstrate, and how lessons learned can be communicated.

As a regional conservation project, MFF will facilitate information exchange not only at the national and sub-national levels, but also among Indian Ocean rim countries in Asia and Africa. Networking as the CHARM project has experienced with the Andaman Triangle Network, and the recent National Dialogue on coastal resource management, will be valuable inputs to MFF to emulate and to build further on them.

This Project is scheduled to close on 24 November 2007. After 5 productive years that CHARM has devoted to the introduction of the coastal resource co-management in Bandon Bay and Phang Nga Bay in southern Thailand, we have a good collection of field experiences and lessons learned from the cooperation with our partners in the field and with the central administration in Bangkok.

CHARM held the End-of-Project Workshop 22-24 August 2007 in Krabi province where some 270 people attended. Its achievements and lessons learned will be reported in the Workshop proceedings to be made available by mid-October.
