PG-ENRO coordinates ICM implementation in Batangas. The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) in Mabini was established as the coordinating office for coastal resources management (CRM) through a municipal ordinance in 2002. In Tingloy, the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator (MPDC) was temporarily designated as the coordinating office until the currently vacant post of the Municipal Agriculture Office is filled and acts as the coordinating office as specified through a municipal ordinance in 2003. Three staff are allocated in the MENRO of Mabini and about 10-25 percent personnel time in the MPDC of Tingloy are allocated to oversee CRM implementation. The budget allocation for MENRO operations for 2008 in Mabini is PhP1.5M. Other municipalities have no coordinating office established for ICM and different agencies implement various aspects of coastal management. In some municipalities, the MENRO leads waste management while the MAO leads fisheries management. The lead agency for coastal management tends to focus on habitat, fisheries or waste, depending on its primary mandate, e.g., MENRO (Calatagan and Lemery) or the Municipal Agriculture Office or MAO (Nasugbu and Lobo). In San Juan, coastal management is led by a Municipal Legislator. 26 State of the Coasts of Batangas Province
G O V E R N A N C E Implications and Recommendations A representative and fully functional coordinating mechanism is an essential feature of an ICM program. The existence and functioning of such a mechanism reflects the interest, at all levels, in ensuring the sustainable development of the coastal and marine environment and the social and economic benefits derived therefrom. The mechanism ensures the coordination of the different actors influencing coastal and marine areas and resources, as well as ensuring representation of the interests of citizens. The establishment of the PG-ENRO provided a lead agency with the appropriate mandate and capacity for integration and coordination among the different sectors, national and local government agencies, and other stakeholders for the proper management of the oceans and coasts of Batangas. Approval of the proposed three-tiered BEPC by the Provincial Legislative Board is in the interest of sustainable development in the Province of Batangas. Likewise, the sustained operation of PG-ENRO through continuous allocation of human and financial resources is necessary. At the municipal level, the creation of environment and natural resources offices (MENROs) which will lead the implementation of coastal management programs is necessary. Likewise, the municipalities and cities in the areas covered by ICM programs are encouraged to establish coordinating mechanisms. Strong coordination of the various agencies implementing various aspects of coastal management is also beneficial in achieving the objectives of ICM.
