This Component aims to:

(1) Rationalize Government Policy for ICRM and improve

coordination mechanisms;

(2) Strengthen national & local government institutionalcapacity; and

(3) Develop a performance-based incentive and

disincentive system for local governments.

Lead by DENR Expected Output includes harmonized policies

on ICRM; ICRM & Marine Biodiversity

Research agenda; Incentive and disincentive

system

B. ICRM and Biodiversity ConservationB. ICRM and Biodiversity ConservationThe Component involves:(1) Promotion of basic ICRM practices

(2) Protection & management of coastal ecosystems inselected threatened areas ofhigh biodiversity; and

(3) Support development & implementation of a system forecocertification of sustainable harvesting activities inreef-association species.

Lead Agency: DENR

Expected Output:

Establishment and operationalization of ICRM Centers

PCRA

Rehabilitation / reforestation of watershed / mangroveareas

Establishment of municipal coastal database

Policy studies

tons of litterfall annually

Other uses of mangrovesOther uses of mangroves

WIND-BREAKER (Absorbs at least 70-90% of the energyof wind-generated waves is absorbed depending on the health of the

ecosystem)

NATURAL WASTEWATER FILTERS(Absorb pollutants (heavy metals) and other toxic substances along

with nutrients and suspended matter)


20/29

Impact of Human activities to the ff.Impact of Human activities to the ff.

ecosystemecosystem MangroveIn case of riverine mangroves, destruction will allow terrigenous

sediments to flow onto seagrass beds and coral reefs. There will be an

excessive outflow of sediments that will cause shading and

eutrophication.

SeagrassSediments may become unstable with removal of seagrasses. This has

deleterious effects on coral reefs, mangroves and adjacent seagrass

beds.

Coral reefs

Actual removal of the reef framework will lower protection from waveenergy and allow erosion of sediments from the coastal zones.

Mangrove Rehabilitation andMangrove Rehabilitation and

managementmanagement

To rehabilitate mangrove either full range

reforestation activities or enrichment planting

Mangrove management setting up of

mechanisms that would regulate mangrove

forest access and utilization by addressing the

root cause of continuing mangrove losses

(cutting) either access control, strict prohibition

of mangrove conversion, habitat protection and

provision of stewardship agreements

Save those areas that are still forested

Restore mangrove areas to their

proximate natural state (abandoned fish

pond lease agreeements)

Support mangrove forest protection

activities

Enforce fishery laws

Coral ReefsCoral Reefs

An estimate of 1 sq. km. Ofhealthy coral reefcan produce up to 20 tons of fish per year whiledestroyed reefs only produce less than 4 tons of

fish

per sq. km. Per year. Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea

Coral reefs grow slowly (a few millimeters toseveral centimeters per year depending on the

species; repair and recovery from dynamite andpoison fishing may take 10-50 years; some donot recover at all)

More than 2,000 species of fish

mollusks 488 species of corals
