Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this report was facilitated by a meeting of national coordinators in Ishigaki, which was hosted by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment. The national workshops of Malaysia and Philippines were supported by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, while those of Thailand and Vietnam were funded by UNEP RCU/EAS. The following readily provided relevant reports and further information: Doug Fenner (Australian Institute of Marine Science), Jean-Luc Solandt (Coral Cay Conservation), Simon Wilson (Adelphi Environmental), Melody Ovenden (The Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation Inc.). The co-authors wish to express their deep appreciation to Clive Wilkinson for carrying out the unenviable task of editing the report.

Status of Southeast Asia Coral Reefs LOCAL COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION: A PHILIPPINE SUCCESS STORY The Danjugan Island Marine Reserve in Negros, Philippines was awarded the ‘2002 Best Managed Reef Award’ by the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research. In 1994, the community near Danjugan Island, Barangay Bulata, was suffering increasing poverty because their marine resources were deteriorating, and fish catches were declining due to over- and destructive fishing. A local NGO was established to acquire and manage the island in partnership with Coral Cay Conservation Ltd. and the World Land Trust. The community, with help from the NGOs, developed short-term and long-term projects to conserve the environment. They set up their own self-governing organisations, developed alternative livelihoods, and encouraged conservation through education and awareness raising. They held marine camps for the youth, had shore clean-ups, and planted mangroves, with the goal of developing a conservation ethic in the community. Fishers were trained in mud-crab farming and pig raising, and the community participated in fish catch monitoring and underwater surveying of corals and fish. The best indicators of a successful marine reserve are committed and satisfied communities; and this success has triggered curiosity in neighbouring villages who want to establish their own marine reserves. These community-based management processes may not be perfect, but each one nurtures change, transforms attitudes and paves the way for long-term ecological benefit and sustainability.
