Institutional Arrangements<br />
Participation of stakeholders in the coordinating mechanism<br />
Results<br />
Most relevant stakeholders and sectors appear to be<br />
represented in the Batangas Bay Region Environmental<br />
Protection Council (BBREPC, Figure 3), which is the<br />
established coordinating body for ICM implementation in<br />
the Batangas Bay Region. The exception is the scientific<br />
sector/academe.<br />
The heads of the line agencies included in the coordinating<br />
mechanism are responsible for the implementation of the<br />
activities identified in the Plan. Each of these agencies<br />
has specific financial allocation for the implementation of<br />
their respective activities. However, the use, outputs<br />
and impacts of these activities are not being collated,<br />
consolidated, packaged and evaluated in accordance<br />
with the objectives and targets of the provincial SEMP.<br />
The commitment of nongovernment stakeholders<br />
in implementing the SEMP is reflected in the<br />
Memorandum of Understanding and Memorandum of<br />
Agreement signed between the Provincial Government<br />
and NGOs stipulating that their projects support SEMP<br />
implementation.<br />
