A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Introduction
Philippines as the centre of the centre of global marine biodiversity
Scientists refer to the 7,107 islands that make up the Philippines as the “center of the center” of global marine
biodiversity. Its waters are home to whales, dolphins, 50 species of sea horses and over 2,000 species fish,
including the largest fish in the world, the whale shark. Marine resources are also critical to the food security
and livelihoods of Filipinos, as fish provide over 50% of their protein and support the livelihoods of millions of
fishers and fish-related industries throughout the country. The Philippines is located in the Coral Triangle, a vast
region in Southeast Asia made up of 18,500 islands and 647 million hectares of ocean. It is often referred to as
the “nursery of the seas” because of the more than 500 species of coral and hundreds of thousands of hectares
of sea grass and coastal mangrove forests that shelter and sustain a level of marine diversity unmatched
anywhere on the planet.
Species and Habitat under Complex Threats
Today, however the global center of marine biodiversity is under extreme pressure. Over 40% of the reef and
mangroves in the region have disappeared in the last 40 years. Near-shore overfishing is a serious threat to
these natural resources, and reversing the effects will require a significant change in human behavior. Less than
five percent of the Philippines’ coral reef ecosystems are still in pristine health, and in some fishing grounds,
biomass is less than 10% of what it was 50 years ago. Most near-shore fishing is conducted by subsistence
fishers in coastal communities although illegal intrusions by commercial fishers into municipal waters are cause
for concern.
A Campaign to Transform the Context
Developing local approaches to addressing the threat of overfishing is increasingly recognized as vital to longterm economic and environmental sustainability in the region. The vision behind this plan, and the current
cohort of 12 campaign developed under the Rare Pride Program in the Philippines, is to facilitate true
community buy and ownership of the local Marine Protected Areas building on the tools developed in 20 years
of experience in MPA management in the Philippines and combining it with the Rare Pride Methodology for
social marketing. Through this strategy the objective is to get the local fishers population as well as the wider
4
community in the Barangays surrounding the MPA to take ownership in and understand the benefit of no-takeareas and support essential management activities such as enforcement and governance of the MPA.
Cohort Theory of change: a strategy for change
In order to eliminate the principle threat of overfishing and destructive fishing the governance and
enforcement infrastructures of the no-take-zone (NTZ) at 12 sites in the Philippines will be strengthened via a
proven self-assessment and planning tool, the Participatory Coastal Resources Assessment tool (PCRA). Key
target audiences (local fishers and gleaners; the local community, the MPA enforcement team and local LGU
officials) will be informed of the benefits of the No Take Zone (NTZ), the rules of the sanctuary, and the
processes for becoming more engaged in the MPA management committee. Fishers and gleaners will come to
believe in MPA as a tool for food security, and will support new reporting structures for arrests and
prosecution of intruders. The conservation results will include increased perceived fish catch, increases in fish
numbers and species richness, increase in invertebrates, and increase in coral reef health.

Theory of Change narrative:
In order to reduce the threat of increased incidence of intrusion and fishing inside the MPA NTZ, the
target audiences comprised of fishers & costal residents from Uson, Buang and Pongo Bongawill (primary TA), and organized
groups and key LGU employees (secondary/BR groups the campaign will work with) from will be made aware of the benefits of
having an NTZ as well as the rules and regulations with regard to the NTZ.
Theory of Change narrative:
The behavior change will become evident when the MPA rules are actively enforced leading to an increase in arrests and
prosecutions of intruders into the MPA. Also, the fishers are encouraged to voluntarily comply with MPA rules. This will result
in reduced fishing in the MPA and increased sustainable fishing gears such as hook and line.
In the end, the campaign’s impact will be measured by significant changes (knowledge, attitudes and behavior), increased coral
reef health, increased fish numbers/biomass/species richness, increased invertebrate numbers /species richness and fishers’, and
increased perceived fish catch.
The campaign will be successful if the live hard coral cover and fish density increase by 10 percent by July 2012 (compared to
baseline from May 2011). Shifts from negative attitudes that sees MPAs as a restriction on their livelihood and fishing shift to
perception of the MPA as a food security “bank of the sea” that brings benefits to the whole community and future generations in
the form of dividends of increased fish catch around the MPA.

B. SOCIAL MARKETING PROFILE
The planning work conducted was ground-truthed with a range of key stakeholders and experts through stakeholder meetings, focus
group discussions and one-on-one interviews. These helped to build a composite portrait of the campaign target audiences, and design
the quantitative survey (Section B4 and Appendix H) which was subsequently carried out across the campaign target area. The
quantitative survey will both help us understand our primary audiences and allow us to establish a baseline for measuring change after
the Pride campaign.
The formative research section below aims to provide a record of all qualitative research conducted, people spoken to and key outputs.
The sequences in which the results of the formative research are presented here do not necessarily correspond to the chronology in
which the data was collected, and in some cases, multiple iterations of the research, such as directed conversations with target
audiences, were required.

1. Formative research
1. NAME: LARRY BARRAMEDA
OCCUPATION: FISH BOAT OPERATOR AND BARANGAY COUNCIL MEMBER (USON)
GIST OF DISCUSSION: Larry is not dependent on fishing. It is his secondary source of income. But to the fishers using his
boat, fishing is their primary source of income. He has seen how fish catch has declined through the years. He ran for a position in
the Council thinking he could help other fishers find ways to make ends meet. At the PCRA, he learned the interconnectivity of
the ecosystems and is so interested at developing a tour package in the village. He said he realized how important it is to develop
and protect the mangroves, seagrass and coral reefs so people could come and learn from them. He also talked about developing
food stations where people could come and eat fresh seafood or simply tour around the mangroves. He is interested in sponsoring
an ordinance that would put money in erecting board walks and signages. He finished Hotel and Restaurant Management so he
sees himself managing a restaurant in the village in the coming years. He was so drawn to the benefits of the sea that he
volunteered to take the students to neighboring villages for the KAP survey.

village officials who facilitated the activity. He explainins the resource map of Uson that he and his groupmates have drawn at the PCRA.
22
2. NAME: Franscisco Balingbing
OCCUPATION: Fisher
GIST OF DISCUSSION: He has expressed optimism that the new leadership of Mayor Betito will continue to support what
they have established in 2001. He has noted however, the decrease in logistics support from the Municipal LGU. He noted
some mismanagement in the Sanctuary and noted increased violations over the last five years. He continues to fish for a
living and would be interested to volunteer again should he see any concrete steps and enabling mechanisms for fishers to
be actively involved in MPA management.
3. NAME: LORENZO BARBACENA
OCCUPATION: Fisher
GIST OF DISCUSSION:
Mr. Barbacena is very passionate about the sea. He has seen how the local fishery resource fed and sustained the lives of
the villagers. He has seen the wrath of typhoons and the bounty of the sea. He is an active member of the core group that
established the fish sanctuary. He is well respected in the village and is quick to relate the sea with the Church doctrine of
creation and dominion. He admitted having used dynamite before because in the old days it was popular and people really
needed to use dynamite to catch too many schools of fish. He later learned the disadvantage of dynamite fishing and of
using efficient fishery implements when fish catch declined. He expressed hope for the sea. He welcomes people who
come to their village to help the locals and those who want to enjoy the beauty of nature that are under their stewardship.

Eduardo Castelo, MFARMC Chair
“The Municipal Ordinance of the MPA was adapted from the Philippine Fisheries Code ( RA 8550). He said that there are policies to
protect the marine resources of Bacacay. They Organized a “Bantay Dagat” team to secure the protection of the marine resources. He
also said that some fishing activities are destructive for the marine habitat. He cited “tanking tamba” as an example. They also conduct
patrolling through deputized Bantay Dagat in the barangay. He also stated that the process of enforcement starts with the information
dissemination to the residents and fishers regarding ordinances being implemented. If problems or violations like illegal fishing occur,
the local police would take appropriate action. There are also consultations for the fishers regarding the fishing ordinance. Member of the
MFARMC coordinated with each other to manage the implementation of the policy and to maintain the proper implementation for the
whole barangay.”
Arnel Boholst, Regional Fisherfolk representative; MFARMC Chair 1998 to 2009. He said that the FLET of Bacacay implements the
Fishery Rules and Regulations within the municipal waters. This enforcement team is also in charge of the proper dissemination of
information regarding the rules and regulations they implement. Members of MFARMC cooperate in the implementation of policies.
They give “humanitarian consideration” to those who have committed the offense for the first time. Those who committed serious
offenses are put to jail.
Lourdes Cerillo, Secretary of MFARMC.She took part in clean up drives and she just replaced Rosalinda Baron, former secretary who
died. She admitted not to know too much about MFARMC.
Rodrigo Borromeo, Auditor, MFARMC considers having a fish sanctuary in Bacacay Albay a privilege. They said to have worked hard
to prohibit illegal activities. They coordinate with fishers and police force to introduce the programs to minimize illegal fishing.
Alberto Baron, member of MFARMC, Roberto Beatriz and Rolando Bibon said they are focusing on cleaning the sea from solid
waste.They said they warn the violators upon committing first offense. They said they anticipate conflicts since the violators are insistent
that they catch fish using illegal methods. According to Ramiro Bartumen, MFARMC member, they give nets to deserving fishers.
Edgardo Baron, MFARMC member said they coordinate with the residents to implement fishery policies. They encourage people to have
alternative sources of income so they will not abuse the marine resources. In cases of violations, imprisonment and penalties are likely
the consequences.

2. Concept Model
All Rare Pride campaigns start with building a concept model, which is a tool for visually depicting the situation at the project
site. Through validation with several stakeholders and marine experts Stuart Green, Pablo Roxas and MERF Marine Scientists.
The following concept model was developed illustrating the conservation target, indirect threats and contributing factors at
Uson Buang Pongco Bonga. The model was created using the Miradi software. Miradi is being developed to assist conservation
practitioners going through the adaptive management process outlined in the Conservation Measures Partnership's Open
Standards for the Practice of Conservation (www.miradi.org). It entails a standardized nomenclature and threat taxonomy
developed by the IUCN. The following chart is what the Uson MPA concept model looks like once all of the direct and
contributing factors to the Uson MPA have been inputted. The connecting arrows highlight the relationship between the factors
and how they impact different targets in the Uson Buang Pongco Bonga MPA NTZ.

3. Results Chain
Results chains clearly and concisely lay out the expected sequence of results that the campaign is expected to create all along
our Theory of Change for each of our target audiences. It is generally recognized that before adopting a new behavior a person
moves through a series of stages. These stages can be summarized as pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, validation,
action, and maintenance. Not all individuals in a target segment will be in the same stage of behavior change, so activities and
messages will need to be tailored to the different stages at which the target audiences are. Understanding the steps in our
results chain has also helped narrow down our preliminary objectives for each target audience before we begin collecting data.
The campaign’s proposed approach can be represented as three results chain, two for the primary audience to be targeted
(fishers and community from Uson, Buana and Pongco-Bonga) and a further one for community representatives that will
become part of the Managament Committee (secondary TA)
27
28
The basis for building the above results chains was the concept model illustrated in section B2 as well as the threat
ranking and factor chains included that were subsequently developed in consultation with partners and stakeholders (
see Appendix H7 and H8). The threat ranking helped identify the priority threat to be addressed by the campaign, based
on scope, severity and irreversibility of the threat at the site. The factor chains subsequently served to illustrate the
causal sequence of factors that lie behind the primary threat and the target groups that the campaign needs to reach to
address the threat. The result chains illustrate the results required to achieve the campaign’s desired goals and aim to
constitute a road map for changes the campaign would like to bring about for each target audience. The result chains
were also used as a foundation for developing the campaign quantitative survey and obtaining the information1 that
would be required to design effective social marketing and behavior change interventions for the campaign.
29
4. Establishing a Baseline: Quantitative survey
After conducting qualitative research the LAP conducted a quantitative survey of adults living in XXX. This pre-campaign survey was
conducted in March 2010 to gain a better understanding of the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of the target audiences in
relation to the MPA and desired behavior changes as well as to establish a baseline for measuring the impact of the campaign on these
audiences through the campaign. The results from the KAP survey are the basis for the creation of SMART objectives relating to the
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) components of the campaign’s Theory-of-Change (ToC).
A second post campaign survey will be conducted at the end of one year of the campaign activities being implemented in May 2009 to
measure any change in these KAP variables in order to assess the level of attainment of the SMART objectives. A full description of the
results can be found in the Project Plan Appendix F4.
The following table summarizes the number of people interviewed and the geographical distribution of the survey.

5. Understanding our audience
TA1 - PRIMARY AUDIENCE – FISHERS ( N= 100)
What do we know
about this group?
THE TARGET AUDIENCE 1 IS IN THE CONTEMPLATION STAGE. By definition, this means that the fishers are
aware of the proposition but ambivalent about changing. During this stage they assess barriers ( time,
expense, hassle, fear) as well as the benefits of change.
42 percent of the fishers live in Uson, while 51 percent in other areas within the municipality of Bacacay while
some 7 percent live in other municipalities. Some 19 percent of the fishers were aged 55 or older and 18 percent
were aged 35-39. Some 42.6 percent have attained some or all secondary education while 41 percent achieved
some or all intermediate education. Majority (97 percent) was Roman Catholics, most or 71 percent were male.
Some 62 percent considered fishing as primary source of income. The average number of people living in their
household was between 2-6 with 78 percent. More than half or 62.4 percent lived within the annual income of
30,000 pesos or below while half or 52.8 percent of the fishers used nets or what is locally known as “hikot”.
83 percent can list the benefits of the NTZ.
Knowledge
Some 70 percent of the fishers agreed that the local fishers regularly participate in the management decisions of
the NTZ.
Some 69 percent of the fishers know who to report to in cases when there is intrusion. 4 percent of the fishers
often follow the regulations of the NTZ.
36 percent of the fishers think it is easy to report violations of rules and regulations such as intursion to NTZ.
Attitude
Practice
Some 82.9 percent of the fishers listed at least one benefit of having a No Take Zone. Some 69 percent said
violations and intrusions must be reported to local police, local law enforcers or village heads. Some 51 percent
said the local community benefits from having a NTZ nearby.
Their attitude towards the MPA as it relates with fish catch is that MPA caused decreased in their yield. Results
showed that some 44.8 percent of the fishers believed that fish has decreased as a result of MPA establishment.
Some 89.8 percent strongly agreed or agreed on the fact that the fishers know the boundaries of the NTZ.
Some 66 percent concurred that no one can collect shells or fish inside the Fish Sanctuary. Preferred radio
station was Bombo Radyo at 36.4 percent followed by DZGB at 23.9 percent. 73 percent of fishers have not

Their top three trusted sources of information on the environment were as follows: religious leaders (19.6
percent); TV person ad DENR (both at 14.1 percent); and person on radio at 6.5 percent.
It is noteworthy that 14.4 percent do not listen to radio

Comments
The fishers primarily trust family and friends as source of information (96. 8 percent); followed by public meeting
(96.6 percent); Television (92.7 percent); DENR (92.5 %) and local leaders and teachers (both at 91.3 percent)
The top three choices for flagship species include: lobster (55 percent) snapper (45.7 percent) and sea turtles (34
percent). The three ways by which fishers believe they would be affected by climate change were: increased
water temperature leading to death of corals and less fish (45 percent); sea level rise
( 33 percent and increased typhoon strength less reliable work and crops (31 percent).
There are media resources available such as a port area where people aggregate in Buang, a concentration of
school building, bgy hall and daycare center in Uson and a port area in Pongco Bonga.
TA2 - SECONDARY AUDIENCE – Organized groups in the community (N=100)
What do we
know about
this group?
THE TARGET AUDIENCE 2 ARE IN THE CONTEMPLATION STAGE. Like the target audience 1 (fishers), this implies that
the members of the organized groups are aware that there is a problem in their behavior as regards their attendance
to meeting regarding the NTZ and the UBPBFSMR upkeep in general, in the last six months but are ambivalent in
changing.
Half or 55.6 percent of the organized groups said fish catch stayed the same despite the presence of the MPA.
Knowledge
67 percent of the organized community members saw benefits of having a NTZ in the vicinity. Also, 91.7 % has
knowledge of the boundaries of the NTZ. Some 75 percent of them said no one can collect shells or fish inside the
UBPBFSMR.
56 percent know who to report intrusions to.
Attitude
46 percent of the organized groups says it is easy to attend at least six meetings of the UPBBFSMR mgt. committee
in 12 months; Also, 90.9 percent said they support or strongly support for increasing the enforcement of rules of the
MPA.
35
39 percent of the organized community will entrust the leadership of UBPBFSMR to community members and local
village officials.
Practice
64 percent of the organized community said they have not talked to anyone about their role in managing the MPA.
39 percent of fishers and local leaders are most involved in decision making in the NTZ the past 6 months.
Target audience 2 listed radio, law enforcement official and television as trusted sources of information.

58.3% of this target group sampled in the campaign’s questionnaire survey preferred news as media
format . 23% listened to the radio daily (6.00 am to 2.00 pm being preferred listening times); 54.5% do not
read the newspaper. Preferred media format was video at 30.8 percent however, drama, comedy, puppet
show were less liked.
The residents are sporadically located in the three villages hence, the use of media resources such as presence of
barangay hall, port area and docking area of fishers could help achieve goals for KAIC.
Majority or 61 percent believed they will be affected by typhoon strength and less reliable work and crops followed by
increase in typhoon frequency (54 percent) and sea level rise.
Comments
TA3 - PRIMARY AUDIENCE – COASTAL RESIDENTS (N=1132)
What do we
know about
this group?
Knowledge
The behavior stage of TA 3 is consistent with those of the other two target audiences- contemplation. Half or 45.4
percent some or all secondary completed; 97 percent are Catholics. Mat making is the source of income at 28.27
percent followed by agriculture at 19.6 percent and fishing at 18.90 percent.
65 percent of the residents are aware of the benefits and regulations of their NTZ and know who to report to in case
of intrusion is high at 78.8 percent
Communities have increased level of support in the enforcement of regulations in the MPA is 63.8 percent.
Attitude
64 percent of the organized community said they have not talked to anyone about their role in managing the MPA

Primetime Bida or a series of television soaps account for the most preferred medium at 17.2 percent followed by
news at 13.8 percent; books and documentary show are least preferred.
The residents considered increase in water temperature leading to death of corals and less fish as the leading manner
by which they could be affected by climate change followed by increase in typhoon strength less reliable work and
crops and sea level rise. Snapper is the most popular creature followed by lobster and sea turtle.

C. MPA Governance and Management plan (BROP)
Abstract
Marine Protected Areas are suggested as the most effective tool in fisheries management. They serve as safe
haven for fish, invertebrates, and corals to breed and grow to improve fish biomass, abundance, diversity, and
improve reef habitats. The Uson Buang Pongco Bonga Fish Sanctuary and Marine Reserve has been established
over the last 10 years through the Municipal Ordinance No. 93 Series of 2001. This ordinance describes rules and
regulations in the no take zone, penalties per violation, definition of boundaries, and a management body
designated to oversee and perform day to day activities. A management plan was drafted and adopted to describe
the major strategies and activities that the management will follow. However, over the years, the management
performance was rated “PASSING” based on recent MPA rating and is still at level “1” [initiated]. The management
body or Management Committee (ManCom)] acknowledged this rating during the organizational development
workshops. This can be attributed to the lack of support of department heads and line agencies, poor
implementation of action plan and undefined functions of the management body. These resulted to increasing
intrusion and weak enforcement continuum [PCRA].
Likewise, KAP revealed that very few individuals knew
about the NTZ and its boundaries and while some are knowledgeable, they don’t take any responsibility or action
to help manage the MPA. In terms of biophysical status, Uson NTZ has no updated coral reef data to speak of.
In Uson NTZ, poor governance and poor implementation of enforcement continuum calls for improvement through well
thought off strategies within the protected area taking into account community participation in the process. The
diagnostic process [PCRA, MPA rating, OD]- had been instrumental in identifying such issues thereby used as basis in
crafting this MPA Governance and Management Plan to improve governance, enforcement and community buy-in. This
MPA-GMP will be carried out by the MPA Management Body [TWG and ManCom] within the timeframe July 2011-July
2012 ( assuming reef data is made available the soonest they could conduct the assessment and will be assessed
regularly during meetings. This MPA-GMP will be supported by funding opportunities from various sources such as the
Municipal CRM budget, Line Agencies, NGOs, trust fund set up for the Reef and Small Grants from prospective local
organizations.
1. Introduction
This section should focus on why the plan delves into governance and enforcement and how it fits into the overall campaign strategy
40
The Philippines ranked first with the most number of MPAs in the world. About 25% of the worlds MPAs are found in
the Philippines. However, 15% of these MPAs are expected to be decimated on an annual basis due to poor
governance and weak enforcement (Aliňo 1998). In fact, during the Rare-initiated workshop in Cebu, on February
2010, these 2 issues surfaced as the most pressing compared to pollution, sedimentation, land-use issues, and climate
change. This workshop was attended by scholars and experts in their fields in the Philippines.
Governance refers 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 logistics to perform such roles that involves the entire continuum
such as deterrence, apprehension, case filing and decision. The poor selection of leaders and weak capacity to enforce
MPA boundaries and policies will result in the lack of community buy-in to support leaders and projects, unregulated
unsustainable fishing activities inside MPAs, and unpopular MPA boundaries and ownership. Subsequently, MPA
benefits are not maximized and the community will lose pride over the local MPA.
The Rare Pride Campaign is geared towards changing the behaviour of local fishers and community in order to stop
intrusions into the MPA and gain greater community buy-in for improved MPA governance and enforcement. The
current plan seeks to strengthen the structures and processes supporting the MPA management and enforcement so
that the fishers and community are able to embrace these behaviour changes and take ownership of the MPA and the
benefits that it can provide.
2. 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
Tools employed included Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) tools; an MPA effectiveness rating workshop and a
Technical Working Group (TWG) and Management Committee (ManCom) Organizational Development ( OD) and planning workshops
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.
41
1. The 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. The 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 June 3-4, 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. These
workshops generated action plan focusing on improving organizational performance and strengthening
for improve MPA governance and enforcement.

Vision: A premier tourist destination with law-abiding, participative and God-loving citizenry who lived
in a ecologically balanced environment and a progressive
and sustainable economy under a shared, transparent and virtuos leadership.
Mission: to promote economic growth and well-being of the people through the effective delivert of
basic services, sustainable resource
generation and utilization, livelihood opportunities, agri-business and eco-tourism programs.
Technical Working Group of the Municipality was reorganized from its 2002 formation. New members included technical staff
from DENR Regional Office who were all from the Protected Areas Wildlife and Coastal Zone Office under the CF’s supervisor,
Director Felix Mendoza of DENR Regional Office No. 5. During the OD workshop, it was agreed that new members be added in
the group those coming from DILG, PNP and MPDC. To date, the TWG have had some five meetings since the Rare Pride
Campaign started its mobilization activities. The SB Resolution that will reconstitute the TWG, define its function and set its
direction is yet to be approved.
The ManCom was revived through the recent effectivenss rating workshop held iin Uson. Old Mancom members who were also
active members of Bgy. FLET took part in the meeting. A pertinent Executive Order would be drafted and submitted to the
Municipal Mayor in order to provide legal basis for the ManCom to operate and receive funds from the CRM budget of the
MAO.

Monitoring
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:









% 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
49
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, consulted to 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.
6. Action Plan
[This are the activities that resulted out of your MPA effectiveness rating action planning workshop and TWG and ManCom
planning workshops. Timeline should follow the campaign life. You may include other strategies and activities from existing MPA
plans and other meetings relevant to governance and enforcement.

Opportunities for funding:
1. Municipal- CRM as one of the basic services of the LGUs is allotted annual appropriation. The activities and
facilities shall be funded from the share of LGUs in the proceeds of national taxes and other local revenues
and funding support from the national government, its instrumentalities and government-owned or –
controlled corporations. (Id., sec. 17(g))
2. External- There is an existing informal agreement that will be forged by the DENR, LGU and an industry
called Supra Feeds that will make possible the automatic donation of a peso per sack of feeds sold for the
upkeep of the Fish Sanctuary and Marine Reserve. This was initially determined through the Ridge Run for
Reef held in March 2011 to raise funds for the MPA. Supra Feeds is an agrichemical company based in Ligao
City in the Province of Albay.
3. Others-Support to MPA is one of the priorities of the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and
Aquatic Resources Coral Triangle Initiative. For extension and training services, the Regional Fisheries and
Training Center (RFTC) based in Pili, Camarines Sur provides an opportunity for fishers to be trained on
sustainable fishing practices. The Bicol University School of Fisheries in Tabaco, Albay could also be a good
source of training and extension services support
.

Fig. __ Amount of fish catch in kilograms over time. (PCRA, 2011 Uson)
The participants to the recent PCRA conducted plotted this downward trend of fish catch noted that the high volume of fish
catch in the early 70s was also due to the presence of illegal fishing methods such as use of dynsmite that was then
unregulated. They have noted the downward decline of fish catch through time especially in recent years.

6. Threat Ranking
Scope, Severity & Irreversibility
Each threat is ranked by Scope, Severity and Irreversibility against each target using the following scoring guide:
KEY TO THREAT CRITERIA (Based on Miradi definitions)
A: SCOPE (Area)
4 = Very High: The threat is likely to be very widespread across all or much of your site.
3 = High: The threat is likely to be widespread in its scope, and affect conservation targets at many locations at your site.
2 = Medium: The threat is likely to be localized in its scope, and affect the conservation target at some of the target’s
locations at the site.
1 = Low: The threat is likely to be very localized in its scope, and affect the conservation target at a limited portion of the
target’s location at the site.
B: SEVERITY – The level of damage to the conservation target that can reasonably be expected under current
circumstances (i.e., given the continuation of the existing situation).
4 = Very High: The threat is likely to destroy or eliminate the conservation target over some portion of the target’s
occurrence at the site.
3 = High: The threat is likely to seriously degrade the conservation target over some portion of the target’s occurrence at the
site.
2 = Medium: The threat is likely to moderately degrade the conservation target over some portion of the target’s occurrence
at the site.
1 = Low: The threat is likely to only slightly impair the conservation target over some portion of the target’s occurrence at the
site.
C: IRREVERSIBILITY – The importance of taking immediate action to counter the threat.
4 = Very High: The effects of the direct threat are not reversible (e.g., wetlands converted to a shopping center).
3 = High: The effects of the direct threat are reversible, but not practically affordable (e.g., wetland converted to agriculture).
2 = Medium: The effects of the direct threat are reversible with a reasonable commitment of resources (e.g., ditching and
draining of wetland).
1 = Low: The effects of the direct threat are easily reversible at relatively low cost (e.g., off-road vehicles trespassing in
wetland).

assumptions made; if factor chains are not aligned with content of plan the explain any discrepancies) (reference

Serena island p35)
Poison fishing as a practice never came out in the KAP survey nor in focus group discussion. This was disclosed during the
pre-University Phase when the CF conducted a structured interview to key informants. There sre about ten fishers practicing this but they
claimed they were not from any of the MPA covered villsages. However, since they target species that inevitably use cyanide poison, the
item on the threat ranking on poison fishing is considered top priority.This was the basis of identifying fishers as the primary audience
apart from the fact that the campaign is done by a cohort. The poison fishers are not expected to come out in the open so that fishers as
population in this campaign makes sense.
