Acknowledgements SCoRe is a product of the Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) component of the Environment and Rural Development Program. It documents the experiences of the Philippine-German Development Cooperation in Integrated Coastal Management and has benefited from a thorough experience in the implementation of ICM projects in the provinces of Antique, Negros Occidental, Leyte, Western Samar and Southern Leyte. The Republic of the Philippines and the Federal Republic of Germany look back to more than four decades of development cooperation on marine sciences and coastal resource management. An early example is the cooperation between the Marine Biology Section of the University of San Carlos, Cebu City and the Institute of Marine Science of the Christian Albrechts Universität zu Kiel during the 1970s and 1980s. The International Global Network for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (COASTMAN) program of the former Internationale Weiterbildung and Entwicklung GmbH (InWENT) supported technical training of Filipinos in German institutions. Many of the participants are today members of the alumni network “Association of United Filipinos Trained in Germany” (AUFTRAG). The former German Development Service (DED) started to support the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the 1990s, for instance on Apo Island and the coastline of Negros Oriental, which are still being showcased today. The former German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) started its larger involvement with coastal resources management in 2001 under the Leyte Island Program on Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (Region 8), followed by the Visayan Sea Project and the Coastal Fisheries Resources Management in Region 6. These programs were funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Since 2005, the Environment and Rural Development Program (EnRD), in support to the National Convergence Initiative, has strengthened the support to ICM. Additional programs for the ICM and Climate Change adaptation and mitigation projects (2009 – present) were further supported by the German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nuclear Safety and Nature Conservation (BMU). Today, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is working closely with the DA, DAR and DENR, and more than 50 local government units in the area of integrated coastal management. SCoRe provides a hands-on description for new and old ICM practitioners, and will serve as a source of information to decision-makers both at the national and local level. Many partners coming from various local government units, academe or local communities have contributed to this knowledge product, but they cannot all be mentioned here. Many thanks go to the Provinces of Antique, Leyte, Negros Occidental, Western Samar and Southern Leyte and their participating ILCs, member municipalities and cities, and the fisherfolks and FARMCs as core partners at the local level. DA-BFAR, DENR and HLURB have provided crucial inputs and represented important implementation partners on the ground.

Summary The current state of municipal waters and coastal areas in the Philippines is plagued by the lack of an integrated planning and management system. The open-access regime in most municipal waters further compounds the problem as local governments have often only limited or no control mechanisms at all in place to regulate the harvest of coastal and fishery resources. Population pressure and the use of destructive fishing practices like blast and poison fishing, have contributed to overfishing. Valuable coastal habitats like mangrove forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs are destroyed unabated. Sustainable Coastal Resources for the Philippines (SCoRe) was developed by the GIZ-supported Environment and Rural Development (EnRD) Program. SCoRe builds on the experiences from the ground of the program since 2005. The approach was tested and implemented in 54 municipalities and cities in the Provinces of Antique, Western Samar, Leyte, Negros Occidental and Southern Leyte. It puts special emphasis on ridge-to-reef planning and management for local governments that are encouraged to build Inter-Local Cooperations. It promotes fisheries regulation mechanisms to stabilize marine ecosystems and increase the income of fishing communities. Finally, it aims to strengthen the role of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (FARMCs) to empower fishing communities and increase their participation in coastal management. SCoRe supports Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) as the national strategy and institutional framework for sustainable development of the coastal and marine resources, and builds the capacities of relevant institutions tasked to implement ICM at both the national and local levels. At the local level, SCoRe refines complicated concepts and procedures, and explains in clear and manageable steps how to achieve the positive impacts of Integrated Coastal Management. It has innovated new mechanisms to enable the integration of municipal water use zones into comprehensive land use plans and zoning ordinances. It has improved current strategies related to the establishment and management of critical habitats and marine protected areas, the implementation of regulation strategies such as fishing vessel registration, and open and close season of fishing grounds, and the building Alliances or Inter-Local Cooperations among Municipalities and Cities towards joint resource management to respond to the many cross-border issues. SCoRe complements other GIZ-supported knowledge products such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sustainable Integrated Management and Planning for Local Government Ecosystemsâ&#x20AC;? (SIMPLE) in achieving sustainable natural resource management through a ridge-to-reef approach.

Challenges in planning and managing the coastal environment

The Philippines is an archipelago with a coastline of about 36,290 kilometers. More than 60% of the population live near the coastal areas, and half of all municipalities and cities is located along the coasts and rivers (NSCB 2012). Coastal and marine areas remain a crucial source of livelihood and revenue for local communities and the government. At the same time, the Philippines is a mega biodiversity country, with more than 52,000 described species of marine plants and animals. Half of the species is found nowhere else on earth. Marginal fishers produce half of the annual 2.7 million tons of fish capture, securing the livelihood of more than 700,000 fisherfolk and traders. Yet, Philippine fish stocks have been reduced to 10% of the 1950s level (Green et al., 2003) and 64% of municipal fishing grounds are overfished (Muallil, 2012). Along with this, there is biodiversity loss in highly fished areas (Na単ola et al, 2010). Valuable coastal habitats like mangrove forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs are losing their ability to provide breeding grounds for marine organisms and other essential ecosystem services such as pollution control. The current regulatory practices and policies in place do not sufficiently address the issues that coastal areas face:

Interconnectivity of ecosystems The degradation of coastal areas cannot only be resolved at the coast alone but needs a ridge-to-reef perspective. Coastal ecosystems are interconnected with upland and lowland ecosystems (Figure 1). Solid and liquid waste, agricultural runoffs, polluted inland waters as well as illegal logging heavily affect the coastal areas and the municipal waters. Siltation of rivers due to deforestation can lead to coral reef destruction. The Philippine Fisheries Code recognizes that coastal ecosystems span several municipalities; hence, the management of contiguous coastal resources shall be done in an integrated manner and shall not be based on political subdivisions. However, the development, management, conservation and allocation systems of coastal ecosystems still lack an integrated and ridge-toreef perspective at the local level. 8

Challenges in planning and managing the coastal environment

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With SCoRe, we are now capable and better service providers. Our environment program particularly on coastal management is now integrated and able to cope with the challenges from the changing climatic conditions. The province established the Coastal Fisheries Resources Management Unit (CFRMU) that integrates and consolidates efforts in all the coastal municipalities as we codified our environment guidelines. Further, we have promoted and facilitated a mangrove belt, which increased to more than 75 hectares, as a mitigation and adaptation measure to climate change.â&#x20AC;? Eva Abad, CFRMU Head, Southern Leyte

Challenges in planning and managing the coastal environment

Planning and management tools, such as the coastal resources management (CRM) plans, have always been limited to the coastline without integration to other prescribed plans, such as those for infrastructure, tourism, solid waste management or the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The conflicting guidelines on the delineation and delimitation of municipal waters were resolved with the issuance of Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 01 series of 2004. Yet, most of the municipal waters have not been properly delineated. In addition, the lack of water use zoning categories in the 2006 Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) guidelines for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) made it difficult to properly plan and manage coastal areas. Proper zonation techniques to limit the use of coastal resources and allow for restoration are not in place. Given these complexities, addressing both spatial and temporal integration will be necessary to address the interconnectedness of ecoystems towards sustainable development.

Existence of multiple actors and interests There are more than 20 government agencies with various policy, regulatory, planning, research and development functions in the coastal and marine environment (Figure 2). These agencies share different responsibilities for coastal management with local government units. Overlapping mandates and unclear guidelines exacerbate the situation wherein local governments find themselves in a fragmented policy framework. Institutional mechanisms for coordination among various sectors and levels of government have not been sufficiently put in place. 10

Although cities and municipalities have jurisdictions over coastal resources, the Philippine Fisheries Code encourages local governments that share ecosystems to group themselves and coordinate with each other to achieve integrated fishery resources. Yet, proper venues for cooperation on the basis of Inter-Local Cooperations are not yet part of the overall policy framework of coastal management. Most of the local government units have not attempted to change the prevailing open-access regime in their municipal waters. Although provisions in the Philippine Fisheries Code allow to implement more regulatory measures to limit access for the harvest of coastal and fishery resources, they are often not used by the local government units. In addition, the Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Councils (FARMCs), as representatives of fisherfolk, are not consulted or properly involved in the management of the coast, which reduces the acceptability and the ownership of the measures taken by the local government units.

SCoRe improves governance of coastal areas SCoRe is based on the Integrated Coastal Management concept promoted through relevant national laws and international commitments to ensure the sustainable development of the country’s coastal and marine environment and resources based on carrying capacity. SCoRe enables local governments to plan and manage their coastal environment. SCoRe aims to improve the governance of coastal areas by placing special emphasis on ridge-to-reef planning and management. In addition, SCoRe has enhanced implementation mechanisms related to the formulation of improved policies to enable effective planning and management, institutional arrangements, and appropriate technologies to stabilize marine ecosystems and increase the income of fishing communities. Finally, it aims to strengthen the role of multiple stakeholders, such as Inter-Local Cooperations and FARMCs, to empower fishing communities and increase their participation in coastal management. SCoRe was jointly developed with partners of the Environment and Rural Development Program. In achieving sustainable natural resource management through the ridge-to-reef planning in the country, SCoRe complements other GIZ-supported knowledge products namely: • Sustainable Integrated Management and Planning for Local Government Ecosystems (SIMPLE) • Management of Resources on Forestlands through Enhanced Sustainable Technologies (MOREFORESTs) • Local Flood Early Warning Systems (LFEWS) • Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility with Sanitary Landfill and Resource Recovery Technologies (Eco-Center) • Rural Economy Advancement through Cash-for-Work for Households (REACH) 12

SCoRe Policy support and contributions Call for the pursuit for sustainable development for the marine and coastal environment As articulated in the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) has escalated as the central framework for achieving sustainable development in coastal and ocean management. The Philippines is a signatory to Agenda 21, which provided recommendations for nearly all major fields of environmental management, and, in particular, recommended that nations with coastlines consider the adoption and implementation of ICM. The Philippines passed two key legislative measures to signify adherence to Agenda 21 and adopt ICM. The first was the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), which marked the beginning of devolution of ICM responsibilities to the local governments. Aside from the broad provisions of the Local Government Code pertaining to maintenance of ecological integrity, some specific functions were devolved to local government units, i.e. fishing regulations. The second was the Fisheries Code of 1998 (RA 8550) (see Table 1) which stipulates that the management of fishery and aquatic resources must be consistent with the concept of an Integrated Coastal Management. It also reinforced the primary mandate of local governments in the management of nearshore municipal waters and recognized the importance of active participation of local fisherfolk and coastal communities through the establishment of Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (MFARMCs). Although the Local Government Code mandates the local government units to prepare their respective comprehensive land use plans, a coastal land use planning system has not been fully established. On the other hand, the Philippine Fisheries Code has attempted to address more concerns related to coastal resources, but its main focus remains on fishery and aquatic resources and has little connection to other prescribed plans such as the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Coastal resource management at the local level Chapter 3, Article II, Sec. 74, of the Philippine Fisheries Code states that local governments can develop their own municipal fishery development plans (in common practice referred to as Coastal Resource Management (CRM) or Coastal Fisheries Resources Management (CFRM) Plans. The CRM or CFRM plan is an integral part of the overall ICM framework at the local level. Its integration into the CLUP gives every ICM program a ridge-to-reef perspective. The CLUP will provide further important elements needed to implement an ICM program, such as intervention strategies at the forest areas or pollution control mechanisms. The Coastal Resources Management (CRM) planning process, adapted for the Philippine local governments, has five phases (Figure 3). SCoRe also builds on the guidelines for delineation and delimitation of municipal waters (DAAO No. 01, series of 2004), and contributes to the guidelines on Comprehensive Land Use Planning of the HLURB (2006) by setting the physical limits to the CRM plan and including zoning categories for possible inclusion into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). Plan monitoring and budget links are likewise emphasized.

Furthermore, SCoRe also enhances the current planning for the coastal environment by considering the integration of emerging challenges, such as climate change and disaster risk management, through incorporating coastal vulnerability assessments, to directly contribute to the Climate Change Act (RA 9729) and the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (RA 10121). SCoRe recognizes that ICM not only emphasizes the integration of management across ecosystems, from ridge to reef, but also the integration of resource managersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to collaboratively solve complex problems that span sectoral concerns, ecosystems, institutions and political boundaries. The current planning process often excludes the participation of fisherfolk, and this reduces the

acceptability and the ownership of the measures taken. Furthermore, clustering themselves into Inter-Local Cooperations as provided in Sec.3 (f ), 33, of the Local Government Code (RA 7160) can be one innovative answer to respond to cross-border concerns such as uncoordinated law enforcement or shared critical habitats. The passage of EO 533 in 2006 signified the Philippinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commitment to the implementation of the ICM as the national strategy. It ensures the sustainable development of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal and marine environment and resources as well as the establishment of supporting mechanisms for its implementation. The EO underlines once again that ICM needs a ridgeto-reef approach. The EO includes important elements such as watershed management, pollution control, waste management and the involvement of the private sector. However, a specific planning and management process has not been provided yet. SCoRe intends to fill this gap. Overall, SCoRe supports the national ICM framework and contributes to the Philippine Development Plan (2011-2016) and other relevant laws in the pursuit of governance and sustainable development programs focusing on biodiversity and habitat conservation, protection and restoration management, as well as food security and climate change adaptation by putting into practice effective governance, establishing active partnerships and strengthening of technical capacities.

SCoRe Goals and objectives

Coastal Resources Management Plan integration into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as part of a “ridge-to-reef” approach SCoRe follows the ridge-to-reef approach as stipulated by the ICM framework of EO 533. It promotes the integration of the Coastal Resources Management Plan into the Municipal or City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), the main guiding document for the local government unit to manage its resources and to provide local governments with a management tool to implement an ICM program. SCoRe has close links to SIMPLE, an integrated ridge-to-reef approach. The CLUP provides for the planning and management strategies of

upland, lowland and coastal ecosystems. Activities in the uplands and the pollution generated in the built-up areas will affect the coastal areas, particularly the coral reef habitat. One of the main aspects of the CLUP is water use zoning on the basis of municipal water boundary delineation and delimitation and coastal resource assessment.

Joint resource management through Inter-Local Cooperation The interconnectedness of coastal ecosystems requires both joint planning and cross-border cooperation among local government units. Shared rivers or other critical habitats such as mangrove forests or seagrass beds can only be managed jointly. Law enforcement likewise requires cooperation to guarantee a unified enforcement framework across municipalities. 19

SCoRe Goals and objectives

Harmonized or unified enforcement plans through Inter-Local Cooperation are appropriate instruments to this end.

Increase income and food security Habitat protection and fisheries regulation measures both contribute to increasing the income of local communities and securing their food source in the long run.

Improve fishery regulation SCoRe emphasizes the importance of fisheries and promotes new and innovative strategies in support of existing guidelines on fisheries management for coastal local government units. These include a licensing system for fishing permits, a fishing vessel registration system, a description on how to implement open and close season for fish and other marine species, new ways of developing zoning and fishery ordinances, as well as tools for law enforcement trainings and the implementation of monitoring and evaluation at the local government unit level. 20

SCoRe Goals and objectives

Improve habitat protection Marine protected areas serve as sanctuaries and spawning areas for marine species, and access to them has to be restricted in order to guarantee their functionality. Likewise, the access to the municipal waters outside the protected areas has to be regulated.

Empower and build local capacity One of the key success factors in the sustainable development of coastal areas is building the capacities of the people involved in planning and implementation. SCoRe helps local governments in institutionalizing and strengthening the FARMCs to perform their mandated functions. Moreover, SCoRe promotes the participation of women, men and youth in resource management and fisheries development. Overall, by sharing a common vision and identifying appropriate measures for managing coastal and fisheries resources together, the acceptability and ownership of communities to observe coastal regulations are higher.

SCoRe: An overview SCoRe aims to contribute to sustainable development of natural resources by improving the governance of coastal areas through enhancing the coastal resources management planning and its integration into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan in order to create a comprehensive ICM programs for the local government. In addition, SCoRe presents implementation mechanisms related to the formulation of improved policies to enable effective planning and management,

The two pillars of SCoRe Pillar 1: Coastal planning from ridge-to-reef SCoRe’s coastal resources management planning process guides coastal area development in an ecologically sustainable fashion that employs interactive planning and an integrative, holistic management approach. CRM plans should include Coastal Habitat Protection, Coastal Fisheries Regulation and Coastal Law Enforcement as the basic parts needed for the Coastal Resources Management Plan’s integration into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). Critical habitats can either be protected through the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) or conserved by measures such as mangrove reforestation or the regulation of access and resource use. With regard to addressing emerging challenges, SCoRe’s CRM planning process incorporates coastal vulnerability assessments to help analyze the needs for protection and management of critical areas to provide and maintain resiliency of coastal habitats and coastal communities. Keeping coral reefs intact and establishing mangrove belts are two important climate change adaptation measures local government units can undertake to efficiently protect their coastal ecosystems, as these are the defense against storm surges and coastal erosion. Habitats for crucial sea life are supported and people living in the coastline are protected. SCoRe guides local governments in developing their coastal programs using an integrated ecosystems planning perspective (ridge-to-reef ) with the inclusion of Coastal Resources Management Plans in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). SIMPLE’s Module 8: Integrating Forest Land Use and Coastal Resources Management Plans into Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Comprehensive Land Use Development Plan, one of SIMPLE’s 11 modules, can be referred to for details. SIMPLE’s Module 8.2 on CRM-CLUP Integration specifically contains descriptions and steps taken in the mainstreaming of Coastal Resources Management Plans into the CLUP. It also emphasizes the importance of delineating municipal water boundaries and water use zoning and the creation of appropriate municipal zoning and fisheries ordinances.

Coastal zoning identifies the uses and determines whether these uses can be harmonized. Zones are not limited to fisheries activities alone but can also include tourism activities, commerce and industries, e.g. navigational zones or protected areas. The ancestral waters are also considered for indigenous peoples who may be claiming their rights under the Indigenous People’s Rights Act. SCoRe provides technical guidelines on the zoning of municipal waters up to 15km from the low water line and more than seven fathoms deep as required by the Philippine Fisheries Code (Sec.16-18) and the HLURB guidelines.

The two pillars of SCoRe Pillar 1: Coastal Resources Management Plan and its integration into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan

SCoRe utilizes the output generated in the delineation and delimitation of municipal waters by further subdividing the area into different use and management unit zones. It aims to resolve resource use conflicts and create the appropriate coastal use zones that will be integrated to the local zoning ordinance as the main legal instrument to implement the CLUP. The formulated and enacted zoning ordinance should include provisions for enforcement of the identified water use zones.

Joint planning exercise among local governments through Inter-Local Cooperation SCoRe provides basic guidelines to local government units in creating cross-border cooperation through Inter-Local Cooperations. Inter-Local Cooperations engage in joint CRM planning and harmonizing policies and regulations, such as the harmonized or unified fishery ordinances or synchronized and joint law enforcement. Issues such as boundary conflicts of municipal waters, water use zonation and fisheries regulations are tackled at the alliance level and endorsed to the province.

Participatory Monitoring Tool SCoRe provides tools and training materials to monitor and evaluate the impact of the local ICM program. For instance, a Process Monitoring Matrix (PMM) was devised to monitor the progress of local government unit partners in the implementation of their ICM program. Local government units have also been capacitated to carry out both land-based and underwater assessments, and to apply participatory approaches to determine the state of local resources.

Pillar 2: Implementation mechanisms SCoRe has enhanced implementation mechanisms related to the formulation of improved policies to enable effective planning and management, institutional arrangements, and appropriate technologies to stabilize marine ecosystems and to increase the income of fishing communities. Finally, it aims to strengthen the roles of multiple stakeholders to increase their participation in coastal management.

Fishery regulation One of the primary goals of fishery regulation is limiting fishing effort based on the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. This is necessary to ensure sustainability.

Fishing Vessel Registration (FVR) software and manual The fishery licensing system grants fisherfolk the preferential right to gain access to the fishery resources and to engage in fishing activities within the municipal waters. The local government unit has the exclusive authority to award fishery privileges in the municipal waters such as fishing rentals, fees or charges, and, particularly, to issue licenses for the operation of municipal fishing vessels. This involves the establishment of a licensing system that covers the fisherfolk, gears and boats for each operator in the local

government unit as prescribed by Sec.17 of the Philippine Fisheries Code and Sec.149 of the Local Government Code. In addition, the maintenance by local governments of a registry of municipal fishing vessels with the assistance of the FARMCs is also mandated by the Philippine Fisheries Code (Chapter 2, Article 1, Sec.19). The innovation of the Fishing Vessel Registration software uses the postal codes (ZIP codes) to register fishing vessels. The registration codes are painted on the vessel itself to ease the identification of the boat at sea. The software incorporates photo documentation of the fishing vessel and ship owner; and automatically generates reports on boat status, violations, etc. The software incorporates photo documentation of the fishing vessel and boat owner.

Open and close seasons for fish and other marine species This requires certain areas to be closed for fishing, for example, during the spawning season. The closed season will allow fish and other marine species to spawn and reproduce undisturbed. This can lead to a higher catch during the open season while the species population remains stable or increases. Fees or taxes can be applied during harvest season to provide additional income for local government units.

Inter-Local Cooperation-based Harmonized or Unified Fishery Ordinance and Coastal Law Enforcement Inter-Local Cooperations Inter-Local Cooperations or Alliances do not only share common geographical boundaries and ecosystems but likewise common concerns such as open access, boundary conflicts, unregulated harvest of resources, resource depletion, uncoordinated law enforcement and lack of harmonized policies. Inter-Local Cooperations transcend political boundaries and provide coordinated actions that in effect bring down the expense in delivering the services (economies of scale) and develop a shared and common agenda among the local government units such as the resolution of municipal water boundary conflicts with adjacent local government units. SCoRe strengthens the Inter-Local Cooperations through joint CRM planning and the harmonization of policies, such as the Harmonized or Unified Fishery Ordinance (H/UFO) or joint and Inter-Local Cooperations-based law enforcement.

The two pillars of SCoRe Pillar 2: Implementation mechanisms

The two pillars of SCoRe

Pillar 2: Implementation mechanisms of SCoRe

Harmonized or Unified Municipal Fisheries Ordinance The harmonized or unified municipal fisheries ordinance (H/UFO) contains provisions on fees, penalties and allowed gears. This should be based on a common plan, which shares the same management objectives. The H/UFO provides the basis for the establishment of the Alliance-Based Coastal Law Enforcement Team (ABCLET). The ABCLET can enforce and apprehend across local government unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders within the Alliance area. The H/UFO may also allow for a unified permitting system with harmonized fees and fines for violators.

Formation of Inter-Local Cooperation-based Coastal Law Enforcement Teams ILCs may opt to establish Alliance-Based Coastal Law Enforcement Teams (ABCLETs). These are made up of a composite team of PNP law enforcers, deputized Bantay Dagat volunteers and personnel from the local government. The Alliance formulates a law enforcement operational plan which establishes teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisdiction over the contiguous municipal waters. The operational plan can consist of seaborne operations, landbased operations (such as market denial) and check point operations. Also, the operational plan consists of roles and functions of the individual members as well as administrative and logistical requirements in carrying out the plans.

The cross-cutting elements of SCoRe Capacity development tools and approaches support the two pillars of SCoRe. The knowledge modules developed to support capacity-building are specified in Table 3. The key factors for success in any management of coastal fisheries resources are the knowledge and skills of the people involved. SCoRe provides guidelines and capacity trainings on effective monitoring, surveillance and enforcement at the municipal as well as the alliance levels. These trainings include basic and advanced paralegal orientations, fish examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certification, use of GPS and map reading. Given the limited funds and manpower, most of the local government units rely on volunteer law enforcers from the coastal communities. These volunteers are not regular law enforcement personnel like the Philippine National Police, thus they require additional technical and skills trainings. Incorporating gender and conflict sensitivity will be guided by the SIMPLE Modules 4 and 5, respectively. As mentioned in the section on Pillar 1, SCoRe uses a Process Monitoring Matrix (PMM) as a tool for participatory planning and implementation by local governments. SCoRe also promotes effective MPA management and monitoring and evaluation through the use of the Management Effectiveness Assessment Tool (MEAT) and Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT).

SCoRe Stakeholders’ roles

Stakeholders’ roles SCoRe has been jointly implemented with fisherfolk communities and their FARMCs, the provincial governments, municipalities and cities, BFAR and DENR as it requires multisectoral and multistakeholder participation. Table 2 specifies the key stakeholders in the successful implementation of SCoRe. It is important that both the municipal and provincial governments prioritize ICM as one of their basic services. The City or Municipality plays a major role in managing the municipal waters, whereas the provincial government is tasked to integrate and consolidate the local initiatives at the provincial level. At the same time, the Provinces provide the strategic framework for ICM programs based on the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan. The Provincial Environment Management Office (or its equivalent) or the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist manages the provincial program and supports the municipal implementing teams in their ICM programs. The Office of the Municipal Agriculture and/or the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) are tasked to convene stakeholders regarding ICM concerns and to coordinate with the concerned national agencies. They assist in the organization and mentoring of the FARMCs and provide extension services and technical advise to the fisherfolks. Table 2. Stakeholder overview Level

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Consultation with the Local Government and community

The starting point of SCoRe involves familiarization with key stakeholders and identifying the major players in ICM activities at the municipal and provincial local government level as well as at the community level. This process is most crucial in gaining the support of the Local Chief Executives, local government unit personnel and coastal communities to the ICM program. From SCoRe’s on-the-ground experiences, involving the FARMC and the community at all the stages of ICM provided these ICM beneficiaries a sense of ownership, thus generating stronger support at the grassroots levels. When providing orientation sessions, topics for discussion include: coastal habitats and their protection, delineation and delimitation of municipal waters, zoning of municipal waters, coastal law enforcement, coastal fisheries regulation, functions and roles of FARMCs, CLUP, climate change and ICM-related economic enterprises (mariculture, aquaculture, ecotourism, etc.). Further, details of the steps and materials to be used can be found in: ICM Planning and Management for Local Government Units and Alliances (“ILC”): A Reference Guide and the FARMC Mentoring Guidebook.

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Delineation and delimitation of municipal waters

The process of delineation and delimitation define the boundaries of the municipal waters. This involves consultations and agreements with neighboring local government units on the water boundaries based on DA-AO No. 01, Series of 2004. The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) is authorized to carry out municipal water delineation and delimitation, and SCoRe promotes the agency’s archipelagic principle in delineating coastal local government units with offshore islands. Detailed steps of the processes are described in Session 8.2.2 of the SIMPLE Trainers Toolkit.

“Before we didn’t know how to manage our municipal waters. With the roadmap and support in developing the capacities of the local personnel, we are able to manage our resources better. We can now mentor neighboring municipalities on the roadmap. We can be a big brother to them.” Amado Acasio, Municipal Agriculturist, Maasin, Southern Leyte

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Assessment of resources

The goal of this step is to assess the status of the municipal coastal and marine resources. The various processes include gathering of primary and secondary data using the Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) to preferably be supplemented by other more technical or scientific surveys. Focusing on resource assessment from the perspective of local coastal users, the FARMCs can be tapped to gather basic fisheries information such as fish landing data during the PCRA process. SCoRe promotes the use of the same coastal vulnerability assessment tools endorsed by the DOST, DENR and CCC. The detailed steps and materials to be used can likewise be found in Session 8.2.3 of the SIMPLE Trainers Toolkit.

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Integration of Coastal Resources Management (CRM) Plans into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The integration of the Coastal Resources Management Plan into the CLUP is described in detail in Session 8.2.4 of the SIMPLE Trainers Toolkit, It aims to enrich the understanding and appreciation for coastal and fisheries resources in land use planning so that the town’s land and water use become coherent. As such, the development and regulatory measures become consistent with the proposed coastal management and land use zones. The key steps in relation to the CLUP process include: Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) steps/description

Coastal Resources Management (CRM) inputs

Getting organized

• Municipal or City Agriculturist is added to the Planning Team (PT) • Coastal Resources Management Plan Technical Working Group (TWG) becomes part of the Planning Team- TWG as a sub-Team

Visioning

• CRM vision elements and descriptors are considered in revisiting the City or Municipal local government Vision (the Vision Statement that is agreed upon if coastal elements are prominent is always part of processes in the four succeeding CLUP steps

Situational analysis

• Processed data from CRM plan situational analysis are integrated into the process of sectoral-cross-sectoral analysis. This includes among others data from PCRA, technical surveys, and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) - Disaster Risk Reduction Vulnerability Assessments

Setting the goals and objectives

• CRM outcome areas are included in the formulation of goals and objectives

Establishing development thrusts and spatial strategies

• Ensuring CRM data in development concept, considerably the coastal zones, plays a major part in protection or production purposes

Preparing land use plan

• Tabulation and delineation of proposed or existing major uses of coastal land and marine areas with the proposed overall land and water use. Here, coastal maps are relevant for proposed land use. • CRM policies to govern functional areas are added here; these policies are reviewed during this step in terms of coherence and consistency with policies of forest and lowland ecosystems to preclude conflicting policies upon implementation.

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Formulation and legitimization of municipal water zones

The agreements reached during the CRM planning process on water use zoning and other areas have to be integrated into the CLUP. Public hearings of the CLUP and the endorsement of the CLUP and Zoning Ordinance by the FARMC or a local council will formalize the zoning arrangements. With the approval of the CLUP and the Zoning Ordinance by the Provincial Legislative Council (SP) the local government unit can start implementing its provisions (SIMPLE Trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toolkit under Session 8.2.5). Figure 4 shows the Land and Water Use Map of the Municipality of Hinoba-an in Negros Occidental. Municipal fisheries ordinances (MFOs) will formalize other provisions and details of the CRM plan, such as the granting of fishing licenses, privileges and concessions, imposition of fees, rentals and levies of fishing activities and products, establishment of marine protected areas, and fisheries regulation strategies. The provisions also include the creation and funding of a fishery management office, FARMCs, Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organizations and Fishery Law Enforcement Teams.

Figure 4. Proposed Land and Water Uses Map of the Municipality of Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Implementation of ICM

The implementation of ICM must be supported by several steps such as the adoption of the plans by the legislative council, integration into the regular annual budget and expenditure management, enforcement of regulatory measures such as the establishment of MPAs or coastal law enforcement operations and revenue generation to support the programs. Implementation is not only limited to the identified key actors in the local government or national agencies but must include the coastal communities, NGOs, private sectors and civil society organizations. Furthermore, the FARMC can provide manpower support in the implementation and the enforcement of the protected areas and help in the regulation of the open and close harvest seasons. It is in the actual implementation of ICM where the formation of Inter-Local Cooperations (ILC) is deemed a necessary means by which to conserve and manage shared ecosystems and coastal resources. It is through ILCs that the Municipal Fisheries Ordinances mentioned in Phase 5 may be further harmonized among local government units sharing the same resources, issues or objectives with other ILC members. The member local governments, through local resolutions and MOAs, develop Harmonized or Unified Fisheries Ordinances (H/UFO), which are consistent and nonconflicting across the ILC. At the same time they allow for certain provisions (fees, timing of regulation) to be regulated in individual ordinances in compliance with the H/UFO.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the alliance-based coastal law enforcement (ABCLET), the municipalities within the Leyte Gulf are now communicating better. We were able to map out and discuss issues and concerns on illegal fishing Leyte Gulf wide. To address this, we initially agreed to make our fisheries ordinance uniform on major concerns such as on penalties, fees and gears. Further, we also facilitated boat color mechanisms. Our enforcement is now improving, as our apprehensions are increasing and we continue to closely collaborate.â&#x20AC;? Jessica Piamonte, Fisheries Technician of Mayorga, Leyte and member of the Technical Working Group of ALFARMDC

The SCoRe approach to Integrated Coastal Management

Monitoring and evaluation

A monitoring and evaluation plan is an integral part of ICM. The monitoring plan lays out the data to be collected, the manner of collection, and the regularity by which this data and information will be collected, analyzed and interpreted. Monitoring tools and instruments, annotated forms and templates are also made available, discussed and agreed upon. Most importantly, the terms of reference (ToR) outlining the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders involved in monitoring shall also be prepared. Finally, the overall ICM monitoring function should be coordinated by a designated local government personnel (e.g. MAO). A Process Monitoring Matrix (PMM) can be used to monitor progress of the ICM interventions. The PMM is a self-rating tool, which is divided into four major processes namely consultation, CRM planning, ICM implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Biophysical monitoring and evaluation methods that measure the management effectiveness of MPAs can be used, such as low-cost, less technical surveys, as prescribed by the BFAR and DENR (e.g. Coral Reef Monitoring for Management, 2010 ed. or the MPA Management Effectiveness Assessment Tool). Monitoring teams composed of fishery technicians have to be capacitated with certain skills, such as underwater surveying, to do the monitoring.

SCoRe Main costs estimates The overall costs per province and per Municipality or City depend on the number of trainers trained, the number of barangays per town and the amount and number of equipment purchased.

Resource Assessments (for proposed and existing MPAs), such as underwater surveys, depend on the existing resources eg. coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds. Step 4. MPA management planning will depend on the no. of MPAs and the size of each management board. Activity costings for the establishment of MPAs, (resource assessments, consultations/public hearings, management planning, legislation and publication, deployment of buoys, logistical support including buoys/markers and billboards, enforcement, education and monitoring) is for a 25-hectare MPA. Step 6. Implementation of ICM: Operation cost and salaries/honorarium depends on the number of law enforcers and extent of the municipal waters.

SCoRe

Emerging results â&#x20AC;˘ Lessons learned and success factors

SCoRe Emerging results

SCoRe Emerging Results 54 municipalities and cities in five provinces have so far used the methods described by SCoRe (Antique, Western Samar, Leyte, Negros Occidental and Southern Leyte). The following can be seen as emerging results from the implementation of SCoRe:

Coastal resources planning and management across borders has improved

“SCoRe empowered us, the implementers, the staff, to manage our coastal resources as well as the connected upland resources.” Armela Waldato, Himamaylan City, KAHIL-ICAMC, Negros Occidental

Integration of coastal plans into the Comprehensive Land Use Plans • Eight local governments have integrated their Coastal Fisheries Resources Management (CFRM) plans into their Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs). 45 Coastal Fisheries Resources Management (CFRM) plans have been formulated and implemented. Figure 5 shows the Land and Water Use Map of the Municipality of Manapla in Negros Occidental. Local institutions strengthened • The Provinces of Southern Leyte and Negros Occidental have both established a Coastal Fisheries Resources Management unit under the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Management Office (PENRMO). Comprehensive Municipal Fishery Ordinances Formulated •18 out of 19 municipalities in Southern Leyte have formulated their comprehensive municipal fishery ordinances (MFOs) and started implementing management planning of the municipal water using CFRM plans. Increased budget allocation for Coastal Resource Management plans • The municipality of Binalbagan in Negros Occidental began with a CRM budget of PhP100,000 in 2007 and increased it to PhP1.3million in 2012.

SCoRe Emerging results

Figure 5. Proposed Land and Water Uses Map of the Municipality of Manapla, Negros Occidental

Conflicts resolved through delineation and delimitation of municipal waters • Delineation and delimitation of municipal waters were supported in 15 local government units. This helped to resolve conflicts in the municipal waters between Negros Occidental and Guimaras provinces. Joint resource management between municipalities • Four Inter-Local Cooperations (ILCs) in Negros Occidental were strengthened, and two ILCs in Southern Leyte and one ILC in Leyte (including two municipalities in Western Samar) were established. • Four members of the Central Negros Council for Coastal Resource Development (CENECCORD) Alliance have agreed to a common management vision for the shared Bago River sub-watershed. • 48 FARMCs in 48 Local Governments (21 in Negros Occidental and 27 in Leyte Island) were supported. The local governments supported their FARMCs through technical and logistical support. The FARMCs served as the check and balance on the local management of coastal and fisheries resources in their areas. The activities included: MPA establishment, fish catch monitoring, mangrove rehabilitation, addressing illegal fishing, encroachment of commercial fishers, and black sand mining through better coastal law enforcement, and livelihood support to fisherfolk.

SCoRe Emerging results

Coastal resources planning and management across borders has improved

“The assistance on management planning on municipal waters and MPA facilitated legislations and hence ensures and increases budget allocation for the initiatives. Since 2005, the budget has increased five-fold. Further, we have established Coastal Fisheries Resources Management office to cater the needs of the fisherfolks.” Chela Torena, Fisheries Technician of Silago, Southern Leyte

Critical areas identified, protected and managed • Applied planning process has fast-tracked the identification of protected areas to improve the management of municipal waters. For instance, the Municipality of Hinobaan in Negros Occidental needed only 8 months to set up a 90-hectares MPA covering three barangays, although the complete process from site suitability assessment to passage of municipal ordinance would normally take one to two years to establish an MPA. The local ordinance establishing the MPA has been passed and approved in November 2012. • A total of 84 MPAs covering about 393 sq. km are assisted. Emerging trends for MPAs using either the MPA Management Effectiveness and Assessment Tool (MEAT) or Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) show an increase in the support of the local government unit through budget allocations and logistical support. For instance, the Sagay Marine Reserve in Sagay City, Negros Occidental, continues to allocate funds despite the fact that the area is a national protected area under NIPAS. • The assisted Sagay Marine Reserve and Ambao Fish Sanctuary both won the 2nd (2009) and 3rd (2010) place, respectively, as the Best Managed MPA in the whole Philippines by the MPA Support Network (MSN).

SCoRe Emerging results

â&#x20AC;˘ SCoRe promoted a mangrove greenbelt technology to adapt to changing climate conditions and to increase areas of fish breeding natural nursery. In Southern Leyte, 75 hectares were reforested and three subsidiary mangrove nurseries were established in Brgy. Hingatungan in Silago, and Brgys. Cabulihan and Bilibo in Maasin. Southern Leyte continues to implement this initiative to conserve 823 has. of mangroves. Increased diversity and density of species â&#x20AC;˘ Technical surveys showed an increase in biodiversity within and outside supported MPAs. Based on the CCEF Rapid Appraisal Status Report of the six MPAs in the Pacific local government units of Southern Leyte, target reef fish density showed an increasing trend over the years (20042011): for Calag-itan (150%), Ambao (818%), Lipanto (2,711%), Bobon (11%) and Cogon (227%), and diversity in Lagoma (300%) and Ambao (186%). Indicator species density and diversity showed an increasing trend in Lagoma (350% and 300%), Calag-itan (181% and 180%), Ambao (425% and 600%) and Lipanto (176% and 157%) MPAs.

Improved fishery harvests through the implementation of fisheries regulations Alliance-based coastal law enforcement formed • Five of the seven Alliances have organized Alliance-based coastal law enforcement teams (Northern Negros Aquatic Resources Management Council [NNARMAC], Southern Negros Coastal Development Management Council [SNCDMC], Kabankalan-Himamaylan-Ilog Integrated Coastal Area Management Council [KAHIL-ICAMC], Alliance of Local Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Development Council [ALFARMDC] in Leyte, Pacific Alliance of LGUs for Marine Development Council [PALMDevC]). The Southern Leyte alliance operates on the basis of a unified fishery ordinance, while the other Alliances have harmonized their fishery ordinances so that law enforcement and apprehension of violators can be exercised jointly. • Joint enforcement helped the PALMDevC Alliance in Southern Leyte to reduce compressor diving offenses by about 80% since 2010. • Paralegal trainings helped the law enforcement teams and concerned authorities (police and coast guards) to handle conflicts properly and to refer these to the DENR, BFAR and municipal courts, among others. Registration of fisherfolks • The registration of boats helped 30 local governments to register all their fisherfolks. Intruders are easily detected by the coastal law enforcers with the adoption of the Fishing Vessel Registration system. Improved fishery harvest • Himamaylan City in Negros Occidental applied the following fisheries regulations: open (January-July) and close (August-December) seasons, harvesting permits to registered fisherfolks, specifications of catch size (45mm), and coastal law enforcement efforts by the Bantay Dagat and the local government, These resulted in a total harvest yield of 617 metric tons of nylon shells after the first year. • The CENECCORD Alliance in Central Negros Occidental declared a strict closed harvest season in 2009 (May-October) over a total of 287 hectares of the municipal waters to revive the diminishing population of angelwing shells, locally known as Diwal, a commercially important bivalve species. Their catch increased by six fold– from 14.5 tons (2008) to 90 tons (2009).

Increase in local government revenue Improved fishery harvest • The open and close season for nylon shells (Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental) earned the local government unit and coastal barangays an additional PhP4.3 million in landing and apprehension fees and PhP386,600 from licensing fees, in less than six months.

SCoRe Lessons learned and success factors

Political support and active participation of stakeholders Political support and a sound legislative basis represent a major success factor for local government units. If coastal resource management is high on the political agenda, it can energize the whole community. The use of award programs is a good way of recognizing the communities’ efforts, as exemplified by Southern Leyte’s “Championing the Seas” awards. The appreciation for community involvement will also create a strong sense of ownership for the planning and management of the very resources that these communities depend on. Responsibility and accountability of communities in implementing the local ICM program as facilitated by the FARMCs can guarantee high impacts and long-term sustainability.

SCoRe Lessons learned and success factors

Provincial technical support Technical support and mentoring by the provincial implementing team proved to be successful in conducting the CRM planning and implementation process, and helped bridge the gaps and limitations of the local government units. The establishment of a provincial Trainers Pool, such as the Leyte Island Trainers Pool, can help spread the know-how throughout the province and will capacitate the municipal or city staff to conduct their own ICM program. The mentoring of local government unit implementing teams by the provincial staff guarantees the compliance with provincial policies and helps to channel funding and technical assistance. The provincial government can also play an enabling role for the establishment of ILCs and the needed assistance by national agencies.

Harmonized policies and joint implementation by the Inter-Local Cooperations (ILCs) This joint planning and management of coastal resources by ILCs has led to a more harmonized and synchronized approach in ICM. Implementation also becomes more cost-effective as ILCs can provide services to its member local government units at lesser costs compared to individual local governments paying for the same service provided elsewhere. Alliance-based law enforcement can solve the issue of non-cooperation among local government units.
