On January 9, 2008, ARRN/JRRN Secretariat and the Secretariat of PEMSEA (Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia) had a meeting to exchange opinions. PEMSEA is an international organization that carries out projects financed by the world largest environmental fund GEF under the control of the United Nations Development Plan (UNDP). PEMSEA provides technical assistance and expertise for projects conducted in East Asia. Future cooperation between ARRN and PEMSEA is expected as coastal management cannot be separated from inland watershed management.
