Abstract
The environmental problems faced by the countries of the Bay of Bengal Sub region in South Asia (hereinafter the region) are significant but they are far from being managed in a sustainable manner. If marine and coastal environments of the region are to be managed in a sustainable manner, management tools and principles such as environmental impact assessment (EIA), precautionary and polluter pays principles and cleaner production should be applied adequately.
