G o v e r n a n c e Policy, Strategies and Plans 001 Coastal profile and environmental risk assessment Description This indicator measures the percentage of coastline that has undergone environmental risk assessment, coastal profiling or similar science-based evaluation in order to identify priority issues/threats to sustainable development of coastal and marine resources. Rationale Effective coastal management relies on planning that takes into account strategic and scientific assessment of the area, including social, cultural, political, economic, environmental and policy issues, and the identification of priority concerns for coastal managers and policymakers. This strategic assessment should be the basis for developing strategies and action plans for coastal management. Data Requirements • Total length of coastline • Coastal environmental profile/environmental risk assessment/other similar assessments • Length of coastline covered by environmental assessment Results The total length of coastline of Batangas Province is approximately 492 km, which includes Batangas Bay, Balayan and Adjacent Bays and the coastlines of San Juan and Lobo as part of the Tayabas Bay Region. Environmental profiling was conducted to prioritize issues of the Batangas Bay Region (92 km) in 1996 and the Balayan and Adjacent Bays Region (300 km) in 2004. To date, 80 percent of the Province’s coastline has undergone coastal environmental profiling (Figure 1). 18 State of the Coasts of Batangas Province

Balayan and Adjacent Bays Region Policy, Strategies and Plans Coastal profile and environmental risk assessment Batangas Bay Region Tayabas and Adjacent Bays Region Implications and Recommendations The goal of environmental risk assessment or coastal profiling is to provide an accurate and timely scientific input into policy and decision-making on development and use of the coastal area. The process involves concerted, multidisciplinary and multisectoral input from various stakeholders as well as the scientific community. The process itself promotes information sharing and collaboration among different players in the coastal area, and bridges the gap between scientists, managers and decisionmakers. Batangas has shown considerable progress in this area with only the Tayabas and Adjacent Bays region requiring environmental profiling/risk assessment. References MPP-EAS and MTE. 1996.
