Getting them to agree on a common vision and direction is necessary to secure their involvement. Challenges in ICM: The Bataan Experience Coastal Land- and Sea-Use Zoning Plan •Selling the idea: Getting the stakeholders to understand and accept the concept of zoning •Getting them Involved •For small/sustenance fishers, they cannot exchange their time at sea to participate in planning process •For affected sectors (fishpen/aquaculture/commercial fishing operators, etc.), there is hesitation because of its potential impact to their livelihood, •Resolving conflicts at the planning stage - Getting the stakeholders to agree on specific uses for the zones and to abide by the understanding and supporting policies OBJECTIVES: Partnerships and Governance Develop, adopt and implement an integrated land-use and sea-use plan for the Manila Bay region by 2012.
