The coastal component of the International Waters Programme (IWP) aims to address root causes of the degradation of international waters in coastal regions by implementing projects on improved coastal and watershed management. It will support action at community level to identify priority environmental concerns (PECs) relating to marine and freshwater quality, habitat and community modification and degradation and unsustainable use of living marine resources. Once a priority environmental concern PEC is identified, IWP will implement a pilot project in each of the participating country in any one of its four focal areas
