S u s t a i n a b l e D e v e l o p m e n t A s p e c t s Habitat Protection, Restoration and Management 018 Habitat management plan and implementation Description This indicator measures the availability of plans, people, and budget to manage coastal habitats and heritage. Rationale Coastal habitats serve as critical life-support systems for a multitude of aquatic living resources. The quality of these habitats must be maintained and improved to sustain their benefits. Local governments need to identify specific strategies and action plans for habitats and the means to implement these action plans indicate the degree to which habitats will be effectively managed. Data Requirements • Availability of habitat management plan • Staff and budget allocation for habitat management Results The Strategic Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) for Batangas includes a component on habitat management. Given that the SEMP has been adopted by the Legislative Board, its Action Program 3 on Habitat Restoration and Management has also been adopted. Land use plans developed per municipality/city also sometimes include elements of sea use. In addition, in 2007, a Verde Island Passage Marine Corridor Management Plan Framework was developed in response to the President’s Executive Order 578 (2006), prescribing implementation of a national policy on biodiversity specifically in Verde Island Passage. In 2008, there are three PG-ENRO personnel for Parks, Protected Areas and Wildlife, and three PG-ENRO personnel for Forest Management. Budget allocation (2008) for habitat management include PhP580,000 for coastal and marine conservation, PhP300,000 for Taal Lake and Pansipit River management (Parks Management), and PhP300,000 for forest management. The provincial staff and budget allocation for coastal heritage management was not available. At the municipal level, the ICRM Plan for Mabini includes management of coastal and marine resources. Most of the municipalities do not have coastal management plans, and thus specific habitat management plans are not available. 66 State of the Coasts of Batangas Province
S U S T A I N A B L E D E V E L O P M E N T A S P E C T S Coastal habitats serve as critical life-support systems for a multitude of aquatic living resources, and as life-saving belts for coastal communities. Habitat Protection, Restoration and Management Habitat management plan and implementation Implications and Recommendations The Batangas Province SEMP 2005-2020 identified habitat restoration and management as one of its action programs, and specifically identifies management strategies focusing on: a) protected area management; b) rehabilitation of degraded habitats and ecosystems; and c) urban greenbelts and waterfront reserves. The implementation of these action plans needs to be monitored and evaluated in order to assess the effectiveness of management interventions in achieving targets. Also, based on the proposed coastal use zoning scheme, areas where habitat and fishery resources were located can serve as basis in prioritizing areas for conservation and management. The development and adoption of a coastal use zoning scheme in the Province as well as in the cities and municipalities would be relevant. Similarly, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), which currently is formulating the Oil Spill Contingency Plan for the Province, needs information on the location of coastal habitats (e.g., mangroves, coral reefs, sanctuaries) in order to include these as critical areas for protection.
