Introduction The Meeting was organized by the RCARO, with the local support of Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT), Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC), and Department of Environmental Quality Promotion (DEQP), Thailand, to review the project and to revise implementation plans for 2008, if necessary. The Meeting was held at the Kantary Bay Hotel in Phuket, Thailand in 22-25 October 2007 with 32 participants including Project Lead Country Coordinator (PLCC), National Project Coordinators (NPCs) of the Project and local end-users and experts for better interaction with the Project. 2. Opening Opening the Meeting, Mr. Sakda Chareon, Deputy Executive Director, TINT, welcomed all the participants. He congratulated the Member States on the progress made and positive achievements during the past year and stressed the significance of the Meeting with participation of 14 RCA Member States (MSs) affected, both directly and indirectly, by the 2004 tsunami, reminding that Thailand, by far, was the hardest hit by the tsunami. He indicated that this project would produce the necessary and useful analytical data on the post-tsunami environment impact by using advanced nuclear analytical techniques and to share it with the related member countries and with the end-users to integrate into an environment management strategy for policy action. As National Project Director of the Project, Mr. Kun-Mo Choi, Director of RCARO delivered opening remarks by welcoming all the participants, and thanked TINT for hosting the Meeting. He showed appreciation for those who had contributed to the successful implementation of the Project, in particular Ms. Elvira Sombrito (PHI, PLCC for previous RCA marine coastal environment project). Mr. Choi pointed out that this Project is in the middle stage which requires concerted efforts for the expected outcomes next year. The Meeting agreed that pre-designated Chairs would lead each session. After revising a few items of the provisional Programme, the Meeting adopted the Programme. Mr. Ron Szymczak, OLCC-3, AUL, was appointed as rapporteur, and agreed to be assisted by Mr. Jeong-Hoon Lee, RCARO. 3. Session I : Plenary 3.1 Overview of the Project Ms Elvira Sombrito, PLCC, reviewed the concept of disaster. She mentioned there might be many developing countries interested in this project which is very large compared to other RCA projects. The value of coastal ecosystems is high and they support the livelihood, food, shelter and recreation for 65% of the worlds population who live in this seismically active area on the Ring of Fire. She noted that it was needed that the effective coastal zone management focused on human activities with regional and international cooperation, which can be supported by the role of RCARO. Scientific input is needed through research with close interaction with decision makers and end-users. The role of scientists is to be educators, in this respect, providing advice and a framework for action. The objectives of the project, she added, are to input results of research to coastal managers on basis or existing information, assessment of risk, scientific advice via stakeholder interactions for policy decisions and management actions. The development objectives by the project are to reduce uncertainty and increase awareness, strengthen capability. She highlighted that outputs, outcomes and performance indicators should include environmental impact data, training of scientists, policy development and adoption of NATs. These might require inputs from RCARO and MSs. She pointed out actions to be taken: analyzing sediments, soil and water for trace elements and other organic compounds to determine if the sediment transported by the tsunami event brought with it some toxic substances. The risk associated with the event can be assessed and the measures to minimize the negative effects can be formulated by the policy makers. For those countries which were not affected by tsunami, the data that are generated can be used as reference data and can contribute to a database in the region. Long term environmental monitoring has value and should continue so that there is a reference value against the one which can evaluate the impact or the risk associated with an event. Nuclear analytical techniques are not integrated with national marine program in most cases. This project attempts to establish an integration mechanism that can be useful for the other RCA marine projects. The project will bring out the following outcomes: (1) provide scientific advice to managers and policy makers on mitigating measures for tsunami and other extreme coastal events, (2) elucidate the sediment processes through nuclear analytical techniques, and (3) provide database for trace element in coastal sediments of MSs. The overview also briefed on the current status and accomplishments that include (1) MSs have formed NPT and interacting with end-users and stakeholders, (2) samples have been collected and more samples may need to be collected as needed, (3) tracer experiment set-up has been established, (4) samples are being analyzed for trace elements and radionuclides, (4) transfer of technology continues through expert assistance and inter-laboratory comparisons, (5) activities created awareness of the challenges of the marine coastal system and the integrated coastal management approach to maintaining sustainability, (6) activities developed capacity for applying nuclear analytical techniques to marine sediment and coastal soil, water samples, and (7) activities generated awareness of stakeholder needs and interest. The presentation was followed by the following discussion: AUL commented that education is a continual process and often needs to be repeated as managers are often replaced. He also stated that tsunamis have been frequent since the 2004 event and this adds significance and ongoing relevance to our work. IND identified that NATs are capable of specific contribution to policy development. In response to the questions from INS and the Director of RCARO on how the PLCC evaluates the progress of the project, Ms Sombrito replied that the project was well managed and close interaction between participants was apparent. She pointed out, however, there have been some delays due to some reasons such as weather condition, custom process in equipment delivery, and upscaling of tsunami-related theoretical knowledge. She also added that participation of all the 14 MSs involved in the project is reflective of the high degree of regional support. Some others commented on other related issues such as the need for more effective communications within the project and with end-users, while others mentioned about assuring the quality of the data resulting from application of NAT in this project. 3.2 Management Aspect of the Project Mr. Jae-Sol Lee, RCARO, gave a presentation on the management aspect of the project including a compilation of the status of the services provided by RCARO. He stated that the project activities accomplished in the MSs seem to surpass the expectation, in view of the scarce responses received before the Meeting to the RCAROs request for submission of progress reports. Laying stress on the RCAROs mandate to increase visibility and to establish partnerships, he mentioned that the project, compared with other RCA projects, showed a particular feature of taking fast-track approach from proposal to implementation. He also commented on the effectiveness of project management in interaction with the MSs. The RCARO provided financial support for expert missions and equipment such as corers and tracers, and promoted the adoption of project management tools such as the MS Project software package for reporting and evaluation. He reviewed several issues associated with project implementation membership, effective national project teams, disposition of acquisitions remaining with MSs, future plans, outcomes, end-users, evaluation and revision of work plans, and final project wrap-up, etc. Project outcomes were to increase the role of non-government organizations (NGOs) in global issues. Communication via the web is also considered important and RCARO will launch a bulletin board in the homepage for the discussion of immediate issues relevant to the implementation of the project. The presentation was followed by the following discussion: Regarding the presentation on the UNDP project in the RCARO website, the Director of RCARO commented that a new menu accessible to the public will be provided, in addition to the current one which is accessible only to the participants of the project. AUL emphasized the synergistic interactions with other RCA projects, restated the increasing prominence of NGOs in global affairs, as well as the prominence of corporate identities, sometime exceeding government participation. VIE and PLCC both commented on the importance of effective reporting of the project. Mr. Jae-Sol Lee replied that the project outcomes should include all outcomes, not only scientific ones but also political, social and strategic ones. 3.3 General Discussion on the Plenary Session After the plenary session, each participant was asked to comment on any issue regarding the Project. IND suggested that the participants need not be too ambitious and should instead focus on the targeted outcomes that we have to share with other countries. INS noted his concern about the quality of sample collections and subsequent data produced, explaining that the use of the corer was not as effective as expected and that analytical procedures were not too appropriate in some countries. The Director of RCARO informed a change in the managerial team in that Mr. Jae-Sol Lee has taken over the post of Programme Officer from Mr. John Chung. Mr. Chung continues to provide service to the RCARO as an advisor until May 2008. SRL stated that training was required for the operation of the Kajak corer. He also cited the delay in the release of the corer from custom authorities of his country. He was also stated that the project was producing good information worth reporting. IND commented that the corer needs specific deployment technique and expressed content with its performance. CPR stated that he is a new RCA NPC and wanted to interact effectively. He commented on the importance of access to standardized equipment and analytical methodologies. ROK, Mr. Sang-Han Lee, emphasized the importance of data quality and the need to publish good results. THA, Mr. Niphon Phongsuwan, described the value of coral skeletons for trace element archives. BGD commented on the importance of standardized sediment analyses and use of the corer for which he managed to manufacture the missing components. 4. Session II Presentation on the Progress in the MSs The Chair clarified the purpose of the Session which was to review the progress achieved in the MSs, with reference to the initial plan, in terms both of technical and managerial performance. The presentations on the country progress were made by the 14 MSs involved in the Project. They showed a variety of status for implementation of the project, in comparison to the plan. The progress of the MSs can be categorized into several groups as following: MSs actively engaged in the activities directly pertinent to post-tsunami environment assessment (IND, INS, MAL, PHI, SRL, THA): these countries affected by the tsunami reported on the actual work conducted with series of activities including sampling at the field, sample preparation and analysis, and interpretation of the analytical results. (PHI affected by a local tsunami). MSs less affected or not affected by the tsunami (BGD, CPR, MYA, PAK, VIE) presented their progress of work which includes such activities as: studies on the potential areas that can be provide a baseline information against which tsunami influence can be addressed and leading to the development of related database, capacity building, TCDC, etc. MSs providing assistance: AUL, NZE, ROK, presented about their achievements in providing assistance to the MSs in the form of such activities as expert missions, supply of reference materials, or analytical services for samples from other countries. Some other activities of collaboration which could be considered common to the MSs are included in the presentations. 5. Session III & IV Progress Review and Revision of Work Plan by Objectives The Chair reminded of the targets of this Session defined in the Prospectus of the Meeting: Identification of problems and solutions for successful implementation of the project Discussion on the actions to be taken by the parties involved in the Project in 2007-2008 including revision and elaboration of the 2008 Work Plan Based on the presentations made by the MSs, the participants made a review of the progress achieved, first by objectives and then to the made an overall review of the progress, followed by revision of the work plan as outlined in the purpose of the Meeting. Summary of Review by Objective Objective 1 (Sediment) Sediment samples from the coastal area, with its ability to act as repository for heavy metals were analyzed for trace elements and naturally-occurring radionuclides. The results of trace elements distribution in sediment cores using nuclear techniques showed indication that it can give a signature of the tsunami event. Results from Thailand and Bangladesh (to some extent) have supported the finding in the Bay of Bengal. We understand that there is a need to publish these findings in international journals to have support from scientific community beyond RCA umbrella, and in communicating our results to end-users. Analysis of major and minor element distribution in these samples along with natural radioactivity data help in assessing the impact of tsunami on coastal marine environment. Depletion in the concentration of heavy metals in the near-surface sediments appear to indicate the removal of clay component of sediment and/or desorption of metals during resuspension. Decreases in particle active elements such as lead in the sediment cores indicate possible removal of particles of sizes less than 2  from the sediment. The low thorium (Th) content in the post-tsunami sediment shows dominant carbonate rock as Th does not enter carbonate lattice. This information support the decreasing clay content in the sediment possible brought about by tsunami disturbance of the sediment column. Marine sediment contains history of events that happen in the past and can be a potentially tool to understand the impact of tsunami. 5.1.2 Objective 2 (Water/Soil) The project has a good start in that meeting with end-users and stakeholders have taken place and ground water/soil samples have been collected and analyzed. All requested assistance from RCARO have been obtained. Initial results have been obtained by MSs. Good cooperation with end-users was demonstrated. Awareness of the application of NATs in groundwater studies has been developed among stakeholders. 5.1.3 Objective 3 (Coral Reef) Effective NPTs, stakeholders and end-users have been established in all participating MSs. Field surveys have been conducted which identified impacted areas and some recovery zones. Elemental analyses of corals will contribute valuable information to regional baseline databases. Obj 1 sediment analyses have identified elements of interest for coral uptake studies, although some data evaluation is still required. Additional interest has been shown by PAK to join Obj 3 activities with a desire to undertake coral sampling and radioecological metal uptake studies. Good progress has been made in relation to the establishment of radioecology facilities for metal uptake experiments on corals in MAL, INS & THA. Recently established facilities in PAK can be adapted for coral studies. 5.2 Summary of Overall Project Review The objectives of the Project Review Meeting were successfully achieved. The overall progress made in implementation of the project is satisfactory, though there are differences in implementation progress among the participating countries. The project has demonstrated excellent regional cooperation among MSs through provision of analytical services by the RRUs and expert assistance in the implementation of the project. The meeting has identified some issues and concerns related to the implementation of the workplan such as missing corer components and operation manual for the operation of the corer; availability of multiple licenses for the lead-210 software. The meeting enabled exchange of information among MSs for better implementation of the project and awareness/understanding of the impacts of tsunamis. The project has enhanced the skills and capabilities in MSs in the use of NATs. Initial results have already provided some meaningful scientific information in relation to the impact of tsunami on the coastal environment, adjacent agricultural areas and groundwaters. Individual work plans of the participating countries were updated and issues for completion of the project were defined. The final meeting report will include the revised version of the national work plans and project framework matrices as well as that of the regional project. 5.3 Revision of Work Plan As a result of the progress review of the Project, the 2008 work plan of each MSs for the Work Plan revised by Objectives is given in Annex 4-6. 6. Session V Stakeholders and End-Users The Chair explained the background of this particular Session which address enhancement of the interactions with the end-users of the Project. Status of Local Work (1) Status of the Local Work (THA) THA, Mr. Niphon Phongsuwan, gave a presentation on coral reef impacted by the tsunami, featuring data on areas of different impact degree and showed pictures on signs of impacts, sand sliding, broken corals being caused by debris, smothering on corals, and clean-up activity on coral reefs. (2) End-user View of THA Mr. Anond Snidvongs, Director of Southeast Asia START Regional Center, Chulalongkorn University, gave a presentation titled Tracing tsunami impacts on- and off-shore geoenvironment in Thailand. (3) Stakeholder View of THA Mr. Songpol Tippayawong, World Wildlife Fund International Thailand Programme, gave a presentation titled Participatory coral reef management and community resilience programme at Had Tay Muane, Phang-nga, Thailand. 6.2. Presentations by the Invited Speakers A couple of guest speakers were invited for special contributions to the Meeting, one on the aspect of interactions with end-uses and another on the scientific context of the Project, both of which were considered not adequately covered by other sessions or presentations. The two invited experts made presentation on their subjects: (1) Ms. Araceli C. Oredina (PHI) delivered her presentation titled A framework for integrated coastal zone management. with a comprehensive review of the interactive processes involved in the policy aspects of environmental projects, based on her experience in the Government of Philippines. (2) Mr. Ki-Hoon Hong (ROK) made a presentation on the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami with analysis of various scientific and technical aspects, together with some advices for the Project, based on his decades of studies in the area of marine environment. 7. Wrap-up with Recommendations The Meeting was wrapped up with a list of Recommendations which were derived through the discussions in the later Sessions as follows: Conclusions Objective 1 Sediment samples from the coastal area, with its ability to act as repository for heavy metals were analyzed for trace elements and naturally-occurring radionuclides. The results of trace elements distribution in sediment cores using nuclear techniques reflect the signature of the tsunami event. Results from Thailand and Bangladesh (to some extent) have supported the finding in the Bay of Bengal. We understand that there is a need to publish these findings in international journals to have support from scientific community beyond RCA umbrella, and in communicating our results to end-users. Analysis of major and minor element distribution in these samples along with natural radioactivity data help in assessing the tsunami on coastal marine environment. Depletion in the concentration of heavy metals in the near-surface sediments appear to indicate the removal of clay component of sediment and/or desorption of metals during resuspension. Decreases of particle active Pb in the sediment cores indicate removal particle size less than 2  from the sediment. The low Th content in the post-tsunami sediment shows dominant carbonate rock as Th does not enter carbonate lattice and supports the decreasing clay content in the sediment due to tsunami. Marine sediment contain history of events happens in the past and proved to be interesting tool to understand the impact of tsunami. Objective 2 The project has a good start. Sampling milestones have been met, all requested assistances have been obtained and effective teams established in all MSs. Initial results have been obtained by MSs. The chloride and isotopes data suggest infiltration of seawater in to groundwater systems up to 3km from the shoreline in Banda Aceh. Good cooperation with end-users providing in-kind contributions of human resources. Awareness of the application of NATs in groundwater studies has been developed among stakeholders through workshops and consultations. Objective 3 Effective NPTs, stakeholders and end-users have been established in all participating MSs. Field surveys have been conducted and identified impacted areas and some recovery zones. Elemental analyses of corals will contribute valuable information to regional baseline databases. Objective 1 sediment analyses have identified elements of interest for coral uptake studies, although some data evaluation is still required. Good progress has been made in relation to the establishment of radioecology facilities for metal uptake experiments on corals in MAL, INS & THA. Additional interest has been shown by PAK to join Objective 3 activities with a desire to undertake coral sampling and radioecological metal uptake studies. Recently established facilities in PAK can be adapted for coral studies. Overall The objectives of the Project Review Meeting were met by reviewing the project progress and revisiting the 2008 workplan. The meeting enabled exchange of information between MSs for better implementation of the project and awareness/understanding of the impacts of tsunamis. Individual work plans of the participating countries were updated and issues for completion of the project were defined. The overall progress made in implementation of the project is satisfactory, though there are differences in implementation progress among the participating countries due to local factors. The project has demonstrated effective regional cooperation among MSs thru provision of analytical services by the RRUs and expert assistance in the implementation of the project. The meeting has identified some issues to be followed-up related to the implementation of the workplan such as missing corer components and operation manual for the operation of the corer, and availability multiple licenses for software. The project has enhanced the skills & capabilities in MSs on the use of NATs. Initial results have already provided some meaningful scientific information in relation to the impact of tsunamis on the coastal environment, adjacent agricultural areas and groundwaters. The NPCs submit an interim technical report to the OLCCs on the activities undertaken so far to be submitted by end of Dec 07. These will be compiled and submitted to the PLCC and APLCC for an overall project report. The RCARO has effectively carried out the overall management, implementation and monitoring of the project such as procurement of corers, reference materials, and radiotracers and provision of funding for sampling works and expert missions at an opportune time under the National Execution modalities both by UNDP(K) as a development partner and by the Ministry of Science & Technology as an executing agency. Recommendations The meeting recommended the adoption of the amendments to Country and Regional Project Work Plans for 2008 contained in this report. The procedure developed for coral radiotracer experiments in THA should be made available and applied in other MSs. MSs should be supplied with Reference Materials for QA/QC on their data. It is recommended that appropriate linkages to beneficiaries (coastal managers) be strengthened to ensure the achievement of the potential impact of the project. Several dissemination mechanisms of the results obtained should be used to transfer the results to end-users. The meeting recommended the conduct of the final meeting in early Nov 2008 in CPR, IND or SRI. Stakeholders and end-users should be integral participants in the final meeting. The RCARO website should be used to promote the longer-term sustainability in tsunami research using nuclear and isotopic technologies. Due to the successes already apparent in the project, funding opportunities should be explored to continue studies on the impact of tsunamis beyond 2008.  8. Closing The Meeting was closed in the forenoon of 25 October 2007 with remarks by Mr. Kun-Mo Choi, Ms. Elvira Sombrito, and Ms. Kanitha Srisuksawad as follows: Mr. Kun-Mo Choi, the Director of RCARO, in his closing remarks, thanked all the participants for their cooperation and highlighted the roles of the NPCs, OLCCs, PLCC, and APLCC, who are expected to continue contributing to the successful implementation of the Project, and expressed the wish that their dedicated contribution would continue into the future. Mentioning Mr John Chungs previous valuable dedication, he assured the Meeting of the RCAROs continued cooperation and effective assistance for the Project. He showed appreciation for the excellent arrangement for the Meeting. As PLCC, Ms Sombrito appreciated the utmost efforts given by the participants for the meeting. Active inputs and advice are appreciated even after the meeting. Regional cooperation should be further pursued by this Project among participating MSs.
