MPA Governance and Management plan (BROP)
1. Abstract
The degradation of the coastal resources within Lanuza Bay rings the marginal fisherfolks in great peril. This reality will hinder the upliftment of the economic status and to live a well-balanced ecosystem of all Lanuzanhon’s.
Marine Protected Area (MPA) is one of the effective tool in fisheries management that introduce in the whole world. It serve as breeding area
for invertebrates, fishes and corals to increase abundance, biomass, diversity and improved habitat. Lanuza Marine Park & Sanctuary (LMPS) was established in 1998 because of declining fish catch and to resolve the malpractices and exploitation against our coastal and marine resources. Then
it was legalized in 2002 through ordinance No. 9. The ordinance describes the regulations, violation penalties, boundaries and management body to perform day to day operation of the MPA especially the Core Zone now called “No Take Zone”. Years of implementation there is still need to improve the management since the LMPS still in level 1 of MPA Rating. The oversight Committee, Management Committee acknowledged the rating
during organizational workshop. This result recognized by unsupportive fisherfolks(34.7%) based on the KAP survey result. Based on the biophysical status, LMPS is declining in terms of live corals (40.32%) and increased dead coral (32.77%) as well as algae (18.22) indicative of poor
management and enforcement because of the decrease of the reefs recovery compared to previous years.(HARIBON Assessment). Fish Abundance dominated by Family promancitridae or the damselfishes/palata has the highest abundance with 175 ind/500m2, and followed by Family Caesionidae(sulid). This can be described by the intrusion of compressor and spear fishing. Poor governance and enforcement demands to find
strategies that community within the coastal area should participate in the management of the MPA. The diagnostic process (PCRA, MPA rating) had been instrumental in identifying the issues and used as basis in developing this MPA Governance and Management Plan (MPA-GMP) to improve
governance, enforcement and community buy-in. This MPA-GMP will be carried out by the Management Body from June 2011-June 2012 and will be assessd during meetings.
This MPA-GMP will be supported by funding opportunities from various sources such as the municipal CRM budget, NGAs, NGOs and small
grants from local organizations.
2. Introduction
The Philippines ranked first with the most number of MPAs in the world. About 25% of the world’s MPAs are found in the Philippines. However,
15% of these MPAs are doomed to fail in annual basis due to poor governance and weak enforcement (Aliṅo 1998)
3
Governance refer to the clarity of processes in selecting leaders to manage the MPA and enforcement (a subset of governance) refer to the capacity and availability of funds to perform such roles that involves the entire process such as deterrence, apprehension, case filing and decision.
The poor selection in the management body will result to lack of community buy-in to support the MPA project, unregulated superfluous exploitation by unscrupulous people inside the MPAs.
Rare Pride Campaign is geared to change the behavior of the fishers and communities along coastal in order to stop intrusions into the MPA to gain community buy-in and improved MPA Governance & enforcement. The plans pursue to strengthen MPA Management so that behavior changes will see the benefits of the MPA in sustaining the resources within the area.
3. Objectives and scope
1. To improve MPA enforcement processes by November 2011 [i.e. upgraded guardhouse, enforcement, protocols/plans, intelligence network and
communication, logbook system]
2. To improve MPA governance system by November 2011 [i.e. regular meeting, increase membership, documentation, management planning, evaluation, monitoring team]
3. Improve MPA effectiveness rating to level 3 [enforced] by June 2012
4. Tools of processes
Three participatory assessment methods were used to assess current status of fisheries, management performance and community knowledge and practices namely Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA), TWG and ManCom OD and planning workshops and KAP survey.
1. PCRA is a critical assessment tool that takes into account the community as the main source of information and data gatherers. It has been widely
used in the Philippines since the birth of community-based resource management projects in over 3 decades now. This tool generated a whole suite
of focused group discussions [FGDs] not limited to fishery enforcement, resource map, MPA history and etc. The objective of which is to improve
community buy-in right at start of project and understand the fishery status in the locality.
2. MPA effectiveness rating system is a self-assessment tool initiated by CCEF and modified by EcoGov to determine management performance of MPA.
It is a system that came about to address the need to improve the overall quality of management-since most MPA face difficulty in enforcement due
to poverty and general lack of awareness about the coastal environment. This rating was administered on May 10,2011 with the newly reconstituted
MPA management body [TWG and ManCom]. This tool generated conclusions on management status and management focus, collated documents
supporting rating, and basis for planning.
3. Organizational development is a conceptual, organization-wide effort to increase an organizations effectiveness and viability through an external
facilitator. In our case, we employed OD to assess the local organizations i.e. the TWG and ManCom vis a vis MPA management on separate dates.
4
This workshops generated action plan focusing on improving organizational performance and strengthening for improve MPA governance and
enforcement.
5. MPA profile
MPA history, resource use and enforcement
1. PCRA
Since the LMPS establishment in 1998, lot of apprehension made by the MPA managers and Municipal Enforcement Team. Accounted fisher from
within the municipality and nearby municipalities intrude the MPA and municipal waters. The apprehended fishers pleaded guilty during court hearing and paid the penalties but some violators was not captured because they are armed and fled immediately when they heard the boat of the
apprehending officers especially night time. Some violations include intrusion to NTZ using compressor fishing, spear fishing using modified flashlight during night time and Gillnets. Also, the commercial fishing (Danish siene) intrudes the municipal water since the establishment of MPA and cases were filed in court. Presently, one case still in court of appeal, other still in trial courts. Not all intruders are accounted for since MPA
Bantay Dagat has no logbook and system to do it. Only Cases filed in court be accounted for. Also, lack of enforcement logistics, community support and intelligence and the capacity to practice the whole enforcement continuum aggravates the recording system. The number of infringement since
2002 up to 2010 accounted to 8 persons from within the municipality and 71 from other municipalities.

b. FGD ON MPA History:
The degradation of the coastal resources within Lanuza Bay rings the marginal fisherfolks in great peril. This reality will hinder the upliftment of the
economic status and to live a well-balanced ecosystem of all Lanuzanhon’s. Therefore, Local Government Unit of Lanuza (LGU) spearheads the Lanuza Sagip Karagatan Program (LSKP) in 1995. Management interventions were introduced to resolve the malpractices and exploitation against
our coastal and marine resources and aiming in rectifying the malpractices and abuses done against our coastal resources. It envisioned a well-managed resource for sustainable development of the locality. Thus, MPA establishment is one of the interventions to address issues on declining of fish catch, using active gears in getting the resources and intrusion of commercial fishers.

TWG - OC Lanuza MPS Oversight Committee (OC) was organized in December 15, 2010. Then it was TWG and it just an orientation of the RARE Conservation
and the tool they are using to change the behavior of stakeholders in buying in the MPA establishment. Then on March 7, 2011, the second meeting presented the executive number 003 to serve as the policy making unit of the MPA management body for consultation before the Municipal Mayor sign the EO and the body change TWG into OC. The OC compose of the different offices in the LGU and other sectors in society that is connected in the
implementation of managing the marine resources. It was this year with the help of RARE that reviewing their functions in helping the RARE Pride Campaign. Since then, they are showing support through attendance of meetings, providing technical assistance in a series of activities that being
conducted. An executive order supporting the OC is attached to appendix H2. TWG will craft policies, rules and regulation based on the recommendation of the ManCom in the implementation of Barrier Removal Activities and management of the MPA. They will help the ManCom in all the activities in the management plan of the MPA.

Progress of the BR implementation strategy will be measured against the specific SMART objectives outlined in the action table above. The overall success of the Governance and Management Plan will be measured through the EcoGov/CCEF MPA effectiveness rating tool.
The goal of the Plan, in combination with the Rare pride campaign is to up 1 level higher from present or achieve level 3 “Enforced” by June 2012 The monitoring plan of the Pride campaign foresees the monitoring of a number of additional metrics to assess the progress on barrier removal, behavior
change and threat reduction:
21
% of members of Mgt Committee belonging to listed categories (local village leaders, influential family members, local women’s associations, private
sector representatives, local religious groups, civil service and the youth sector)
% of days per month that there is a record of 24/7 guarding coverage in log book
Increase in arrest for year 1
Number of attendees of Barangay Assemblies
Monthly activities conducted by enforcement team (outreach, market denial, foot patrols, meetings with community intelligence partners, etc.)
average n of reports of intrusions received per month by the enforcement team
N of intrusions from local versus outside fishers
Decrease in intrusions from community and adjacent village
Decrease in illegal and destructive fishing
For more details on the frequency and methods for data collection please refer to the campaign monitoring plan.
Feasibility and Impact
This action plan underwent expert validation and approval process. The planning workshop was facilitated by an external auditor, Rodolfo Santos, PhD. He has a long history of organizational development facilitation in organizations of various level and scale in the Philippines following a diverse business model. The tool used in planning i.e. MPA Effectiveness Rating is a standard tool in the Philippines to assess management performance of MPAs which has
been published by White et al. 2001 and was further enhance by EcoGov Philippine and UP-MSI [MEAT]. The action plans was an output of the 2 day workshop participated by the TWG, ManCom local fishers, enforcers, LGU department heads who are considered experts in their localities thereby
producing a ground truth strategies. Since this will be integrated in the Project Plan where LAP/LCE endorsement is affixed, the same signature will suffice for approval. This action plan will be validated back to the community after a series of iterations during module 3 to serve as the road map to achieve Level 3 status by June 2012.
