National Marine Resource Policy

MPA NAMES: Sumilon Marine Reserve and Apo Marine Reserve
NOTES: The two Marine Reserves has a stark contrast
Apo was established in 1976 and was protected for 16 years
Sumilon was established in 1973 and was fished twice
Concept evolved gradually thru perceived benefits of increased yields and tourist income
Politics and community participation plays a major role
Years of protection can be wiped out in days
Recovery is slow
