Implication and Recommendations
Source: BFAR IV-A, 2007.
The lack of a systematic approach to compliance monitoring
inspection and enforcement of coastal regulations and
policies indicates a serious need for capacity development
of enforcement activities among the local government
units. Opportunities for partnering the efforts of different
sectoral agencies with enforcement responsibilities, may
be explored as a means of implementing a more costeffective
and systematic approach to the monitoring
and enforcement program across the province. Selfmonitoring
of municipalities on the implementation of
their ordinances and their requirements for compliance
with respect to local guidelines can also be beneficial,
and will facilitate consolidation and validation at the
provincial level.
