As part of this project it is a requirement to undertake a formal risk assessment of the industry to identify information gaps and key risks to be addressed by the proposed BMPs. This report is a summary of the key findings and recommendations of this assessment.

The process for undertaking the risk assessment is as follows 1. Compile initial Risk Register list of key risks categorised according to generic BMP framework 2. Review score key risks in terms of likelihood and consequence of risks occurring to provide Risk Ratings 3. Risk Ratings are ranked sum of likelihood consequence scores to provide the Risk Ranking 4. Risk Ranking determines appropriate level of management response according to Risk Ranking Matrix and associated BMP outcome. The Risk Register Attachment 1 was initially compiled by the CARD project team following a process of industry consultation project planning workshops and associated stakeholder needs analysis field investigations in the Mekong Delta during 2008 09 and consideration of interim results .
