Description:    Summary report - BEHP/BAC/WORKSHOP/04/01: Ecosystem Mapping and Biodiversity Consultative Workshop (26 to 27 April 2004)

Contracted to: BENEFIT
Completion date: May 2004

Summary: The meeting, held in Swakopmund, hosted 50 delegates from six countries. Presentations were given on the status of biodiversity and related research and initiatives in each of the three countries of the BCLME. Presentations on related initiatives (the Darwin Initiative, CedMAR and COML) were also given. The need for better definition, specifications and scales emerged as a global problem. The role of the main (mother) project was regarded as the key to success. It was recommended that the South African National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP): National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA): Marine Component process be expanded for the BCLME. It was also agreed that the BCLME’s biodiversity programme be reconfigured into four projects and that its main aim should be to consolidate existing data and knowledge.
