Watch expert and representative from Thailand, Wilawan Thanatemaneerat, as they share their insights on how the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) has evolved since 2000. Protecting our coastal home is no longer just about fixing local problems — it’s about understanding the complex web of stressors that connect us across borders. 

  • We now address coastal issues as interconnected challenges rather than isolated local incidents. 
  • Recent data in Thailand shows fish stocks are stabilizing, with biomass levels exceeding our sustainable targets. 
  • Marine plastic waste has emerged as a major global crisis affecting our ecosystems and health — a challenge we are now prioritizing in coastal management. 

As we finalize TDA 2.0 for the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand, we are adapting our strategies together to ensure a resilient future for our seas and the communities that depend on them.

The SCS SAP Project assist countries in meeting the targets of the approved Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for the marine and coastal environment of the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand through implementation of the National Action Plans in support of the SAP, and strengthening regional co-ordination for South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand SAP implementation
