EVALUATION

3. To what extent and under what conditions did increased enforcement effort and effectiveness lead to pressure reduction?
Evaluability: YES
Result area: Increased enforcement effort/operations
Indicator/unit Appropriateness Data Availability Data Quality Analyses Overall Remarks
% change in
number of landbased
operations
Number w/in
MFG; % change
% change in
number of seaborne
operations
Yes. This is
important as it also
monitors illegal

shore.
Yes, This is
important as it also
monitors illegal
fishing across the
shore. The
assumption is that
MFG covers 1 km
landward from
coast
Yes. This will
monitor if fishers
comply and use
correct gears and
methods.
Number w/in MFG Yes. This will
monitor if fishers
comply and use
correct gears and
methods.
Existence of
accurate records
Yes. This will
monitor if
apprehensions of
violators are done.
Yes. Data is available at
the local bantay-dagat

Yes. Intensive
assessment needs have
been identified by the
Ecofish project, prior to
the conduct of support
to the enforcement
teams in each MKBA
area. The enforcement
needs assessment was
completed in Y2.
Based on this, however,
Ecofish only provided
trainings for the
enforcement team to
enhance the team’s
operations.
Ecofish has data only on
the types of training it
provided to each of the
MKBA in response to
their needs. The type of
enforcement training,
anchored on
enforcement plan,
triangulated with the
records on
apprehension, together
with the information
The change in number
in both land- and seabased
operations will
have implications on
the compliance of
fishers vis-à-vis
apprehension of
violators. Thus,
showing an established
enforcement
operations. Eventually,
resulting in pressure
reduction in the MFG.
Number of
apprehensions per se,
however, is not a
direct measure of an
effective and improve
enforcement. LGUs
with advanced
enforcement capability
coupled with IEC
activities would have
lesser number of
apprehensions.
But, decreasing trend
of violators over time
is an indication of an
effective enforcement.
Thus, reducing
pressure on the MFG.
