NOWPAP Regional Coordinating Unit signed the Letter of Cooperation (LOC) with the Project Management Office of the UNDP/GEF Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) project on 24 May 2007 in Beijing. The LOC will serve as the basis for the two sides to conduct cooperative activities. As one of the follow-up activities, YSLME will join an International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) campaign organized by NOWPAP in Rizhao, China on 27-28 June 2007.
Implementation of NOWPAP contributes to the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) in the Northwest Pacific region.
