Overview of the Sub-regional Preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses for the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem and its Adjacent Region, the North Brazil Shelf
A TDA is a scientific and technical assessment through which the water-related environmental issues and problems of an LME are identified and quantified, their causes analyzed and their social, economic, environmental and institutional impacts assessed. It uses the best available verified scientific and technical information to assess the state of the environment and the root causes of its degradation. The analysis is carried out cross-sectorally, focusing on transboundary problems without ignoring national concerns and priorities.
