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 />
