INTRODUCTION

Coastal communities are considered one of the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change being

exposed to climate variability such as storm surges due to more frequent intensified typhoons; and

coastal inundation due to sea level rise, coastal erosion and increase in precipitation.

The municipalities in Batangas are not spared from these climate change threats being the frontier of the

Verde Island Passage to the West Philippine Sea and having 15 out of its 31 municipalities located along

the coastlines of West Philippine Sea, Pagapas Bay Balayan Bay, Batangas Bay and Tayabas Bay.

The Climate Change Adaptation Planning Workshop has determined the adaptation framework that will

guide the municipalities in climate proofing their municipal development plans. One of the most effective

climate change adaptation option is to have a continuous and wider the mangrove belt in the coastlines

of Batangas province to buffer coastal communities against effects of climate change (storm surges,

inundation, erosion). This, not to mention the established ecological and economic values of mangroves

for the benefit of the coastal communities in terms of fisheries and tourism, becomes the basis for this

Comprehensive Mangrove Development Plan for the province of Batangas.

OBJECTIVES

This Comprehensive Mangrove Development Plan aims to ensure a healthy and productive mangrove

forest in appropriate areas within the Batangas coasts. Specifically, it aims to:

1) Provide a platform of cooperation between and among the key players/actors in mangrove

development and management in the province

2) Provide an agreed guideline in mangrove development and management that will be adopted

by all stakeholders respecting the natural ecosystem of mangroves.

3) Provide a common higher goal where every stakeholder will be able to harmonize and

complement with each other to contribute to this common goal.

Biophysical and Socio-economic Setting

The province of Batangas is located along the southwestern edge of the island of Luzon in the Philippines

(13⁰50’N 121⁰00’E). It is part of the Region 4A bordered by the provinces of Cavite in the north and

Laguna and Quezon in the east. The province faces the West Philippine Sea while it faces the Verde

Island Passage in the south. The province has a total land area of approximately 316,581 hectares and

coastline of 366 kilometers. The total municipal waters (excluding Taal Lake) of Batangas is around

700,000 ha. About 16% of the total population of the province lives in 14 (45%) out of 31 municipalities

of the province.

Coastal Population Density

(Source: PPDO)

Built-up areas such as human settlements are increasing particularly in the coastal areas. In 2000, the

population density in Batangas Bay is 7.1 persons per hectare, 5.5 persons per hectare in Balayan Bay

and 4.7 persons per hectare in Tayabas. From 1998 to 2002, industrial and commercial establishments in

the three bay regions increased by 36%, most of these are located in Batangas Bay.

Port development, both for local and international vessels in Batangas Bay has taken significant

development which led to more intensified navigation and port related activities. From 1998 to 2002,

shipping traffic increase by 12%, cargo traffic by 20% and passenger traffic by 47%.

There are three (3) major bays in the province of Batangas, namely: Batangas Bay, Balayan and adjacent

Bays, and Tayabas and adjacent Bays. The distinctiveness of each of the bay provides a rationale for

coming up with bay-wide SEMP for these bays. The SEMP encompasses at least four components

namely: 1) institutional mechanism and integrated management systems and technical interventions; 2)

waste management –solid waste, industrial wastes and agricultural wastes; 3) habitat restoration and

management; and 4) fisheries protection and management.

Another major water body in the province is Taal Lake which is a freshwater body linked to Balayan Bay

through Pansipit River. This river is the spawning route of a popular and expensive fish called maliputo

(Caranx sp.). Taal lake has an area of approximately 23,900 hectares with a lakeshore circumference of

about 267 km. Within the lake is a volcano island with an area of around 2,400 ha. The average depth

of Taal Lake is 60 meters (deepest: ~ 200 m).

Mangrove Areas in the Province

Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and sub-tropical

latitudes where they develop adaptation mechanisms in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong

winds, high temperature and muddy, anaerobic soils (Kathiresan and Bingham 2001). They have

developed adaptation mechanisms to conditions in waterlogged areas with low oxygen, highly toxic

sediments, high temperature and salinity and low in nutrients by having adventitious/stilt roots,

pneumatophores, salt ducts (to exclude salts), vivipary propagules and seedling production.

8 | P a g e

They play a very important role in adapting to ancillary impacts of climate change such as coastal erosion

brought about by sea level rise, increase precipitation and increase storminess. In terms of its

contribution to fisheries productivity, mangrove forest provides nursery grounds, shelter and food for

fish and other sea organisms (Primavera 1995). One hectare of mangrove forest yields 283.5 metric tons

of fish per year (Spalding, M.D., Blasco, F. and Field, C.D., eds. 1997).

Based on the mangrove mapping done with the existing satellite images of CIP, there are about 1,365

hectares of mangroves in Batangas which are mostly found in the municipality of Calatagan which

accounts for almost half of the mangrove areas in the province. The municipalities of San Juan and

Nasugbu have large mangrove areas with 276.97 and 256.54 hectares respectively. The municipality of

Taal which has only one coastal barangay facing the Balayan Bay has the lowest mangrove area with only

1.50 hectares only.

Although several of the classified mangrove areas were in the municipality of Calatagan, most conversion

of mangroves to fishponds by 2010 was also identified in this same municipality. Aside from increase in

the ‘fishpond’ class, another very noticeable difference between the two classifications was in the built-

up areas, particularly in Batangas City. In fact, the combined fishpond areas (‘fishpond’ + ‘dry fishpond’ +

‘vegetated fishpond’) experienced net decline for the entire province, but the built-up areas increased by

about 100 hectares within the mask areas only. This does not include yet the areas, which are not

adjacent to mangroves or fishponds, which most likely had an even greater degree of urbanization. The

state of mangroves in this province was positive, however, increasing by 119 hectares from 1990 to

2010. This may be attributed to mangrove reforestation activities in the municipalities of San Juan,

Calatagan, Lemery and Lobo.

The mangrove-fishpond change for Batangas was similar to that of the VIP, with more areas of

mangrove-to-fishpond change than fishpond-to-mangrove change. The ratio of mangrove-to-fishpond

change, however, was lower at 1.2 compared to VIP’s change ratio of 2.0. A total of 1,050 hectares

were excluded from the Batangas change computations and mapping.

Mangrove Development Guidelines

The principles of mangrove development needs to be upheld in the province, hence the following are

the guidelines that need to be followed by all mangrove development players in the province. (Adopted

from the DENR Memorandum based on the Call to Action of the Philippine Association of Marine

Science (PAMS):

1. Refrain from planting mangroves in seagrass bed ecosystem. It is counterproductive and seagrasses

have a different role in coastal ecosystem.

14 | P a g e

2. On planting of mangrove species, we must consider its zonation pattern (i.e. seaward, middleward,

landward and riverine zones). Plant right species in these different zones

3. Monoculture species based on studies slow down the productivity of the area in terms of

detritus/litterall is concerned. Monoculture scheme will cause or make ecosystem susceptible to

pests and diseases, depreciate its growth, production and its biodiversity in general

4. Planting of endemic/indigenous mangrove species is encouraged in assisted natural regeneration

(ANR) and reforestation for rehabilitation, whenever/wherever possible. Further, we should refrain

from planting introduced/exotic species of mangroves in the country.

The best practices in mangrove management, rehabilitation and nursery shall be followed for high

impact interventions:

A. Stand Structure Assessment of Mangrove Areas Objectives:

a. Assess and gather data on the structure and species composition of remaining mangrove stands

b. Determine whether the mangrove resource is progressing or degrading c. Obtain reliable information and data as basis for planning and management of the resource

and for policy formulation Process:

a. Identify the extent of mangrove and fishpond areas b. Establish permanent monitoring station c. Identify the site for restoration and rehabilitation d. Identify the potential site for nursery establishment e. Assess the present condition of mangrove communities

B. Nursery Site Selection and Establishment

General Criteria for the Selection of Nursery Site a. Water Supply – near the sea and tidal rivers/creeks – brackish water or fresh water sources b. Central location and accessibility – near coastal barangays c. Drainage – near areas influenced by tidal inundation d. Size of the area – an area to accommodate the needed planting stocks

C. Mangrove Species Selection for Rehabilitation – indicator species in the area shall be considered.

a. Substrate : i. Muddy: bakauan babae, bakauan lalake, busain and tangal ii. Rocky or Coralline: bakauan bato, bakauan lalaki, pagatpat, bungalon and bantigi

iii. Sandy: bakauan bato, bakauan lalake and pagatpat

15 | P a g e

D. Site for Rehabilitation

Site rehabilitation should be done in the following sites:

Mangrove planting should not be done on the following sites:

• Following the shoreline • Going seaward

• Along riverbanks/steam banks • Beach areas

• Protected lagoons/coves • Boat docking areas

• Open gaps within mangrove area • Presence of seagrass/coral reefs

• Abandoned fishponds • Barnacle infected area

• Fishpond dikes • Constantly battered by surges or waves

Monitoring and Evaluation The conditions of the mangroves shall be monitored on the following criteria:

Condition Criteria

Excellent

- 76% and above in % of crown cover - 1 regeneration per sq.m.

- Above 5 m in average height of trees - Undisturbed to negligible disturbance

Good - 51-75% crown cover - < 1 to 0.76 regeneration per sq.m.

- < 5 m to 3m average heights of trees slight disturbance and few cuttings

Fair

- 26-50% crown cover - 0.50 to 0.75 regeneration per sq.m.

- < 3 to 2 m average heights of trees moderate disturbance and noticeable cuttings

Poor

- 0 – 25 % crown cover

- < 0.50 regeneration per sq. m. - 2 m average height of trees heavy disturbance/cuttings/pollution,

rampant conversion to other uses, nearly disturbed

ANNEXES

Annex 1: Balayan Mangrove Development Plan

The municipality of Balayan is located along northwest portion of the Balayan Bay. It is bounded by the

municipalities of Calatagan and Lemery.

Balayan is a first class municipality in the province of Batangas. It lies in the northern part of Balayan Bay.

It is one of the most productive fishing grounds in the country. The town is subdivided into 48

barangays, eleven (11) of which constitute the coastal. Fishing is the major source of livelihood in the

coastal areas, there has been no systematic account on fisheries catch and effort. Moreover, there has

been no assessment on the status of exploited resources, putting at risk their very source of livelihood.

The remaining mangroves in the municipality as detected from satellite images gathered in circa 2010,

validated during the mangrove planning workshop have an aggregate area of 4.6 hectares found in at

least 40 sporadic sites in thee (3) barangays namely San Piro, Navotas and Palikpikan. Most of the areas

are abandoned fishponds which the LGU has existing or proposed memorandum of agreement. About

625 square meters are natural stand and about 68 square meters are newly planted with mangroves

through LGU and PO initiatives in Barangay Palikpikan.

Annex 6:San Juan Mangrove Development Plan

The municipality of San Juan, Batangas is located approximately 120 kilometers south of Manila and 43

kilometers from the southeastern corner of Batangas province. It is a coastal town bordered by Tayabas

Bay on the south and east, Quezon province to the north and the towns of Rosario and Lobo to the

west. The land area of San Juan is 27,340 hectares, with 42 barangays, and a population of 90,294 people

(NEDA 2008) with 30,303 coastal population.

San Juan is composed of mountainous areas, lowland areas, and the ocean. There are sixteen (16)

coastal barangays. Thirteen (13) of these barangays are on Tayabas Bay and three (3) are part of Sigayan

Bay. The shoreline is 33 kilometers long. There are 9 declared Marine Protected areas located in

Hugom, Laiya Aplaya, Laiya Ibabao, Imelda, Calubcub I, Abung, Putingbuhangin, Ticalan, and Catmon. The

total area of our MPA is 601.5 hectares. The total number of registered fisherfolk is 1,043 based on the

2010 CBMS. There are 11 registered commercial fishing vessels.

The location of the municipality at the southern tip, with the picturesque view of long white sandy

beaches, coves and marine life cradled at the foot of mountains and hills makes the area suitable for all

levels of tourism development.
