SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES<br />
Reforestation area – Cowrie Island<br />
Interviews with the POs disclosed that plantation in the reforestation<br />
area did not thrive despite employment of various strategies such as<br />
change of specie, potting, fencing, replanting undertaken to as much as<br />
four times and as recommended by the DENR.<br />
The POs claimed that the selected project areas may not be suitable for<br />
planting/reforestation due to the following:<br />
• Human destruction as the project area is a regular boat route besides<br />
being near the communities, susceptible to picking of sea shells;<br />
• Strong waves; and<br />
• Soil condition as the area is a former mining dump site.<br />
Total cost allocated for reforestation component of CSD contracts for<br />
Sta. Lourdes, Tagburos and Bacungan sites amounted to P2,236,642.17.<br />
• Inclusion of areas found to be unsuitable for planting and within the<br />
marine park, bird and fish sanctuaries at Palompon MRSP, Leyte<br />
which were eventually replaced by areas likewise not suitable. As a<br />
result, the survival rate attained during CSD implementation was not<br />
sustained.<br />
As a matter of procedure and in compliance with existing DENR<br />
regulations, the PO, with the assistance of the Assisting<br />
Organization/Subproject Site <strong>Management</strong> Office (AO/SUSIMO) and<br />
the DENR, prepares a CSD plan with accompanying cost<br />
requirements. This plan is basically lifted from the annual site<br />
development strategies prescribed in the approved appraisal report,<br />
subject to certain modifications or revisions as a result of validation<br />
conducted by the AO/SUSIMO.<br />
