The ASCLME project is part of a multi-project, multi-agency programme - The Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem Programme (ASCLMEs) - which aims to institutionalise cooperative management of the two LMEs. The ASCLMEs Programme is implemented in a phased way, so that a knowledge base is built progressively and technical and management capabilities are strengthened at the regional scale so as to address transboundary environmental concerns. The Programme’s overall objectives are: - to acquire sufficient baseline data to support an ecosystem-based approach to the management of the two LMEs;
- to produce a TDA and SAP for both the Agulhas Current and the Somali Current LMEs.
