INTERNATIONAL WATERS

Results of a GEF-STAP Mini-Survey, July 2008: This report, one of a series informing the development of ideas for GEF-5, is an edited compilation of expert opinion of scientists and aquatic resource management practitioners canvassed to provide scientific input to the GEF-5 strategies. Respondents gave their personal views based on their current knowledge of GEF programs. Drawn from the expert opinion, advice has been formulated for the Technical Advisory Groups and GEF agencies to consider in proposing the priorities for GEF-5.
