Environmental Protection Council (BBREPC).<br />

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 />
