A range of lessons learned from the UNEP/GEF South China Sea Project’s network of coastal habitat demonstration sites and pollution pilot activities were identified in 2007 as being worthy of documentation for sharing between and among other projects. Following this a total of nine lessons learned on habitat and pollution management in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand were documented during the first half of 2008. These were subsequently reviewed by the ninth meeting of the project’s Regional Scientific and Technical Committee  and published for wide dissemination.
