LINKAGE TO NATIONAL PRIORITIES, ACTION PLANS AND PROGRAMMES:
·
Cape Bolinao is included in the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities, a national
biodiversity strategy and action plan, with high level in the marine category under the South
China Sea biogeographic region due to its most extensively developed reef systems and
associated habitats.
·
The Municipality of Bolinao is the first local government unit in the Philippines that formulated
a municipal fishery ordinance, the Coastal Development Plan (CDP). In this approved and
published municipal ordinance, some parts of Cape Bolinao are declared and assigned as: (1)
fishery management zone, (2) multiple use zone including aquaculture/mariculture, (3) trade
and navigational zone, and (4) eco-tourism zone.
·
Cape Bolinao is one of the sampling sites of the Fisheries Resource Management Project
(FRMP) in the Lingayen Gulf that addresses the two critical and interconnected issues of
fisheries: (1) resource depletion and (2) persistent poverty among municipal fisherfolk. The
Project is designed to foster municipal fisherfolk's participation in resource management and
enhance government capability, both at the national and local levels, to fulfil its mandate to
manage the resources with legal basis under the Republic Act 8550 (RA 8550). Philippine
Fisheries Code of 1998 (RA 8550) aimed to provide the development, management and
conservation of the fisheries and aquatic resources, integrating all laws pertinent thereto, and
for other purposes.
·
Bolinao is among the municipalities bordering the Lingayen Gulf. In March 25, 1993, the
Lingayen Gulf was declared an environmentally critical area under Proclamation 156 signed
by the President. The proclamation aimed to unify efforts in protecting and preserving the
coastal resources of the gulf.

SITE DESCRIPTION (FULL DESCRIPTION AS APPENDIX 1 )

AREA
Cape Bolinao, NW Pangasinan covers about 23,320 hectares of land area. It is an integral part of the
Lingayen Gulf due to its most extensively developed reef system and associated habitats (McManus
et al. 1992; Rivera 1997). The estimated reef flat area is about 50 km2 wherein half of the area (~25
km2) is seagrass meadows.
ENVIRONMENT
Cape Bolinao (see the map in Appendix 1) is found on the northwestern tip of Pangasinan and is
surrounded by the most extensive coral reef in the Lingayen Gulf (Mc Manus et al., 1992). It is on the
western edge of Lingayen Gulf facing the South China Sea on the north and west and the
Caquiputan Strait on the east. Cape Bolinao has one major island, Santiago Island and several small
islands and atolls. Within the coral reef, the seagrass beds are patchy with an approximate area of
25km2 (Fortes, 1995).
The geology of the mainland part of Bolinao is basically limestone with its topsoil producing only
limited crops, thus agriculture provides only a limited contribution to the town's economy. Most of its
livelihood has been heavily dependent on the harvest from the marine environment (McManus et al.
1992). Bolinao has a distinct dry and wet season. The rainy period starts about early May and ends in
mid-October (Rollon 1998). The marine water (physico-chemical) profiles are: a) water quality ­ light
attenuation coefficients varied from clear to relatively turbid water (0.1 to 2.0 m-1), salinity ranges from
30-35 o/o, sedimentation flux 1.5-10 g dry weight (DW) m-2 hr-1 (depending on the site), average water
flow velocity > 9 cm s-1, and b) sediment condition ­ grain size composed of very coarse sand (~60-75
% DW), fine sand (20-30 % DW), very fine sand (~5-20 % DW), and silt (from negligible to ~5 % DW)
and organic matter ~5 % DW (Rollon 1998). The air temperature ranges from 32 to 35oC during
summer (April-May) and 26 to 28oC in July to August and January to February (colder, wet months).
HABITATS
Cape Bolinao is a fringing coral reef system where a significant portion of the reef flat area is occupied
by seagrasses. There are seven seagrass species recorded: Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia
hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, C. serrulata, Halodule uninervis, Halophila ovalis, and Syringodium
isoetifolium. T. hemprichii and E. acoroides are the two species dominated the seagrass beds. The
seagrass areas are identified as a critical habitat for economically-important rabbitfish (Siganus
fuscescens) and sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla). S. fuscescens juveniles migrate from open sea to
the seagrass areas to seek refuge and forage on the leaf blades of the different species of
seagrasses while T. gratilla remains within the bed to graze for food. Giant clam (Tridacnids) ocean
nurseries are also located in the seagrass meadows.
BIODIVERSITY
Aside from its rich coral reef and diverse species of seagrasses, Cape Bolinao is also home to a wide
variety of other marine species. The preliminary surveys have recorded species richness of target
groups including: holothurians (10 species), crustaceans (11 species), starfish (1 species) and
gastropods (149 species). On the other hand, turtles and giant clams (Tridacna gigas) have become
endangered in Cape Bolinao. A giant clam nursery was put up in response to this problem.
PRESENT USE
Based on the present uses, the coastal areas of Cape Bolinao are divided into four zones as
embodied in the Coastal Development Plan (CDP). These are: (1) fishery management zone for
sustenance fisherfolks, e.g. gleaning, hook and line, fish corral, netting, and push net fishing, (2)
multiple use zone including aquaculture/mariculture and fishing, (3) trade and navigational zone, and
(4) eco-tourism zone.

Out of the 30 barangays of Bolinao, 20 are found on coastal areas whom 22% of the total population
is engaged in fishing (Philreefs, 2005). Milkfish aquaculture in Bolinao has now become the major
source of income for its inhabitants. Although this practice has made Bolinao the largest producer of
milkfish (Chanos chanos), studies showed that major fish kills that happened in the area resulted from
the overpopulation of fish in the cages. On the other hand, tourism is also fast becoming popular in
Bolinao. A few new resorts have been developed in the coastal areas servicing both tourists and
locals throughout the year.

MANAGEMENT REGIME:
The Coastal Development Plan (CDP) of Cape Bolinao also provides protection to sustainably
manage the marine resources in addition to the different stakeholders responsible to the preservation
and enforcement of laws. These are: national agencies ­ Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
through its Bantay-Dagat Program; LGU's-attached agencies/offices - Municipal Agriculture Office
(MAO) and Coastal Resource Management (CRM) Office; the University of the Philippines Marine
Science Institute (UPMSI) through the Phase II of the Community-based Coastal Resource
Management (CB-CRM) Project "Sustaining Management of Coastal Resources in Selected
Municipalities of Lingayen Gulf (SAGIP Lingayen Gulf)"; and people's organizations (POs) and non-
governmental organization (NGO).

8.
STAKEHOLDERS (SEE APPENDIX 2 FOR STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT PLAN)
Stakeholder groups in Bolinao include:

· Fishers, gleaners, women and youth organizations that have formed themselves into peoples'
organizations (POs),
· Non-government organizations who have taken on the commitment to assist sustainable use and
development efforts in the locality,
· Local government units which have the mandate to responsibly govern the area and
· Representative offices of national government offices, and
· The Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines which maintains a Marine
Laboratory in the area.

Bolinao Municipal or Local Government Unit (LGU). The LGU have the responsibility to manage
and maintain ecological balance within their territorial jurisdictions. They are authorized to enforce
and implement pollution control laws and other laws on the protection of the environment, pursuant to
national policies and subject to the control and review of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources. They are also responsible in the supervision and management of Municipal waters within
fifteen kilometres of the shoreline under the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998.

The Municipal Government enforces all laws and ordinances relative to the governance of the
municipality, implement all approved policies, programs, projects, services and activities of the
municipality and issue such executive orders as are necessary for the proper enforcement and
execution of laws and ordinance. The Municipal Council as the Legislative Body of the municipality
enacts ordinances, approve resolutions and appropriate funds for the general welfare of the
municipality and its inhabitants. It is also responsible for the protection the environment and can
impose appropriate penalties for acts that endanger the environment.

Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). The NGO presently operating in the area is HARIBON
which is involved with community organisation, awareness rising, and livelihood development, and
has been involved with community-based coastal resource management in Bolinao in the past.

People's Organizations (POs). The PO membership comprises the group that is the most affected
by the methods and extent of local resource exploitation, to which activities of the project should be
directed. In Bolinao there are seven organizations under the federation of KAISA-KA (Kaisahan ng
mga Samahan Alay sa Kalikasan or Federation of Organizations for the Environment) namely
SAMMABAL, SAPA, SAUDI, FEDELA in the mainland and SAMMAKA, SAMMABI and SMMV in the
island. The most active organizations up to this date are SAMMABAL and SAMMAKA who up to this
date are maintaining the management of a marine protected area and mangrove reforestation
projects, respectively.

Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (FARMCs). To institutionalise the major
role of the fisherfolk and other resource users in the planning and formulation of policies and
programs for the management, conservation, protection and sustainable development of fisheries and
aquatic resources, FARMCs were established at the National level and in all municipalities/ cities
abutting municipal waters.




3

---

At the municipal level, the Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council are
formed by fisher folk organizations/ cooperatives and NGOs in the locality assisted by the Local
Government Unit (LGU) and other government entities. MFARMC of Bolinao is therefore
composed of members of people's organization, local government officials and other concerned
stakeholders. It regularly coordinates with both the executive and the legislative departments of the
Municipal Government and is actively involved with the formulation of community development
programs and implementing rules and regulations.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). DENR has mandates, authorities
and responsibilities for the environmental protection and conservation of protected areas. DENR's
mandate includes the conservation, management, development and proper use of the country's
environment and natural resources (specifically forest and grazing lands, mineral resources,
reservations and watershed areas, and lands of public domain), and for the licensing and regulation
of all natural resources (as provided for by law) to ensure equitable sharing of benefits derived for the
welfare of present and future generations of Filipinos. Mangrove forests and marine protected areas
are the only coastal habitats that fall within the jurisdiction of DENR. DENR has been instrumental in
providing financial support to various people's organizations in the Lingayen Gulf. An example is the
mangrove reforestation under the DENR program "Community-Based Mangrove Forest Stewardship
Agreement (CBMFSA)".

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources (BFAR) has been reconstituted as a line bureau under the Department of Agriculture (DA)
pursuant to Republic Act No. 8550 (also known as the Fisheries Code of 1998). The BFAR is tasked
to prepare and implement a Comprehensive National Fisheries Industry Plan to ensure the rational
and sustainable development, management and conservation of the fishery and aquatic resources in
the Philippines waters including the EEZ and adjacent high seas. As a policy making body, BFAR is
authorized to enforce laws and regulations (including the issuance of licenses for commercial fishing
vessels) and formulate development and management policies on fisheries, except in municipal
waters, in consultation with the national and local FARMC and LGUs. The Bureau also leads in the
generation and verification of various technologies on fisheries production and processing as well as
the transfer of these matured technologies to the clientele.

Department of Tourism. The Department of Tourism (DOT) is the primary government agency
charged with the responsibility to encourage, promote, and develop tourism as a major socio-
economic activity to generate foreign currency and employment and to spread the benefits of tourism
to both the private and public sector. Tourism in Bolinao remains a strong area for further
investments.

The University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI). Since the start of its
operation in the area in the 80's, the UPMSI has conducted research on the flora, fauna, and coastal
oceanography in the area. The results of these research studies have helped improve local and
national understanding of the marine biodiversity in the locality and in the country. Since then, the
laboratory has become a haven of research interests, which attracted local, national and international
funding. With its growing popularity in the scientific circles, its emphasis has expanded from basic
marine scientific research to fields dealing with environmental management and protection. With this
development came a strong commitment to address marine environmental issues. The UPMSI is now
the `environmental watchdog' especially in the northern part of the Philippines.

9. THREATS
(CAUSAL CHAIN ANALYSIS AS APPENDIX 3)

Pollution
At present, the coastal areas of Bolinao have no solid waste management plan. Solid waste is
commonly dumped along the coast for reclamation.
Aside from household trash the major pollutants in the sea off Bolinao come from aquaculture
production. The semi intensive fishponds development that peaked in the 1980's resulted in rampant
cutting of mangrove for fishpond conversion. Destruction of this mangrove buffer opens the bay to
runoff water and consequently siltation. Fish cages and pens also contribute much to the pollution
because of excessive use of artificial feeds. According to the studies siltation increased about 4
centimeters per year in the area. Other effects of fish farming are discussed below

4

---

Following a massive fish kill as a result of red tide, tons and tons of dead fish were dumped in the
sea, contributing greatly to the pollution of the water. It took several months of dredging and water
splashing to restore reasonable water quality.

Push Net Fishing
A very common gear used by fishermen in catching Siganid juveniles in seagrass beds is the push
net. This results in the dredging and cutting of seagrass and eventually fish depletion. Other species
caught in the nets are often discarded, as they have no commercial value.

Trampling
Human activities such as push nets, gleaning, fishing, boat scouring, and anchorage resulted to loss
and degradation of seagrass beds, as the seagrass shoots are trampled under foot, pulled out by
their roots, or otherwise damaged.

Fish Cage Culture
Aquaculture through semi-intensive milkfish fishponds started in the Lingayen Gulf in the early 1970s,
and then peaked in the 1980s following extensive conversion of mangrove areas into fishponds.
With the ban in mangrove cutting enforced in 1995, bangus (milkfish, Chanos chanos) culture
eventually expanded into the coastal waters and rivers using floating cages.
Although this intensive aquaculture has made Bolinao the biggest producer of C. chanos (milkfish) in
the province and the third in the country, it has corresponding negative impacts. Studies have
supported the findings that the fish kill episodes are mainly due to the overpopulation of fish
occupying the cages, causing excessive eutrophication, leading to a decrease in the water's oxygen
content, resulting in fish deaths. Scientific reports also show the occurrences of "algal blooms" which
coincided with such events. A Prorocentrum minimum bloom was discovered by Azanza et al. during
the January-February 2002 major fish kill in Bolinao. The most recent fish kill occurring between May
12-20 of this year coincided with an increased cell count of Chatonella marina algae. Villanueva
reported that dead fish varied from an average of 25,000 to 35,000 bangus for each cage aged 3
months old to harvestable stocks or more than 50% of the stocking density for each cage.
With the advent of higher demand for food due to increasing population, units of fish pens and cages
in Bolinao more than doubled the allowable limit of 554 units, which was determined to be the
maximum carrying capacity.
The Causal Chain Analysis indicated the interventions to address threats to Bolinao Seagrass as
follows:
-
Provide resource data and information for the development of Management Plan
-
Formulate and implement municipal ordinance on seagrasses as resource and habitat
-
Design and disseminate information and education campaign
-
Enhance stakeholders' capacity for resource management
-
Develop and implement supplemental/alternative livelihood programme
10.
GOALS AND PURPOSE:
The project recognizes the ecological and economic roles of seagrasses in Bolinao, and that the
maintenance of their ecology and integrity will, in both the long and short term contribute to uplifting
the lives of the citizens of this municipality. It also recognizes that sustained efforts in this direction
should involve local participation and initiatives. The project aims to establish functional linkages
between and among community groups, academic institutions, with local and national government
support, so that the seagrass ecosystems that form the resource base of local livelihoods will be
enhanced, protected and managed. In addition, it will preserve the biodiversity in the seagrass
meadows, marine fauna and flora alike, restore the degraded areas, and reduced threats and provide
preventive actions to these threats.

11. RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:

The seagrass beds of Cape Bolinao form the base of fishery resources for 35 barangays (a Philippine
political unit). As apparent in section 9, the seagrass beds of Bolinao are seriously threatened through
the direct and indirect effects of human settlement and coastal development leading to intense
pressure and anthropogenic disturbances to the said habitat.

5

---

There is real need to take initiatives to protect, conserve and maintain the resources. Seagrass beds
play a very important role in the community since many of their livelihoods rely heavily on the
seagrass beds. At present, most people in the community understand that the existing resource
provides their livelihood. But the importance of linkage of seagrass beds with the other two major
components of the marine ecosystem, mangroves and coral reefs, is not seriously considered.
Experience from other community-based initiatives shows that self-management of local resources is
sustained and effective if user-communities take on ownership of management activities.
The objectives of the project are:
· To enhance resource management, particularly for seagrasses based on comprehensive data
and information;
· To intensify and increase public awareness through information, education and communication
campaign;
· To strengthen stakeholders' capacity in management of resources; and
· To design and implement alternative/supplemental livelihood program.

12. OUTCOMES

With the implementation of the seagrass demonstration site in Bolinao, the following management
outcomes are expected:
· A functional linkage among stakeholders;
· Increased public awareness;
· Strengthened capacity building among stakeholders;
· Improved legislation and enforcement practices from project recommendations
· Community establishment of protected sites;
· Sustained monitoring through the Seagrass Watch;
· Improved seagrass cover and maintenance of biodiversity;
· Developed and improved livelihood skills of coastal communities to protect and manage seagrass
and related reef resources.

13.
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES TO ACHIEVE OUTCOME (MONITORING AND EVALUATION
PLAN AS APPENDIX 4)

COMPONENT 1.
Development and Implementation of Management Plan Based on
Comprehensive Data and Information
In order to address the first objective, which is the development and implementation of management
plan based on comprehensive data and legislation, resource assessment, database establishment,
and municipal ordinance preparation must be conducted. Seagrass resources shall be assessed to
identify and map seagrass areas by the management board and the stakeholders. Software shall be
formulated and designed for the database establishment, wherein the collected data shall be collated
and analysed for management purposes. Municipal ordinance shall be prepared based on the
participatory processes: review of existing municipal fisheries laws, drafting of the ordinance,
consultation, presentation, and validation of the drafted ordinance to the stakeholders, and approval
and the publication of the said approved ordinance. After the resource assessment and consultation,
a detailed pilot plan shall be outlined and implemented with the different stakeholders. In addition,
three permanent areas shall be identified as the pilot plan implementation and SeagrassWatch
monitoring sites. Two evaluations on the resource and socio-economic impact of the management
plan shall be conducted throughout the duration of the project.

COMPONENT 2.
Information and Education Campaign
To minimize the lack of public involvement and absence of environmental education and information,
the demo site project shall provide data and materials on the management of seagrass resources. A
survey and assessment of the current seagrass knowledge shall be conducted through focus group
discussion prior to the determination of appropriate information dissemination strategies. Meeting with
the municipal council and other stakeholders shall be held to prepare the general IEC plan approach
and implement the said plan. This component of the project will provide information and education
campaign materials to the youth, people's organization, legislative bodies and other stakeholders
interested with it. Assessment of the influence of the IEC plan to the public awareness and
participation shall be conducted in the mid and end of the project.

6

---

COMPONENT 3. Capacity Building
Building the capacity of the locals such as people's organization in the area, students, environmental
managers, and other through trainings and workshops for the efficient and proper management
coastal resources shall be part of the demo site project to increase public participation, enhance
management capability, and ensure the continuity of this management approach after the completion
of the project via knowledge and skill transfer. Trainings on the seagrass taxonomy and associated
marine flora and fauna and measurement of biological parameters for the monitoring will cater to the
youth, POs, in- and out-of school youth, environmental managers, and other stakeholders. Legal and
paralegal training is for the police, bantay-dagat, fisherfolks, legislative bodies, and other interested
persons. Solid waste management and SeagrassWatch approach are for resource managers,
barangay councils and student. Experts on the different fields as mentioned above shall be invited as
consultant and/or resource speaker for these trainings. In addition, group study tour shall be carried
out to the newly-operated and successful marine protected areas (MPAs) where the major marine
habitats are seagrass areas. Upon completion of the project, the municipality of Bolinao will have
trained and well-informed people who will actively involved and participate to decision-making and
seagrass protection and conservation.

COMPONENT 4. Sustainable Alternative Livelihood Program
A survey of the extant skills and strategies shall be the pre-implementation activity in designing the
necessary livelihood assistance strategies. Consultation with the local people, meetings with the
concerned government agencies, and seeking the sustainable alternative livelihood using land- and
water-based approach such as seaweed culture, handicrafts and gardening shall be conducted.
Initially, the livelihood program will have pilot testing to the 20 families to the three identified sites. In
the case of success, this will be duplicated to other seagrass sites, depending on the availability of
funds and feasibility to other sites. A consultant and research assistant shall be hired to conduct
meeting, training, prepare the needed materials and implement the identified and developed
alternative livelihood approach to the pilot sites.

14.
SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT

Sustainability

It is very important that prior to project implementation, the stakeholders are well informed of the
project's objectives and framework to get their full commitment and support to the project. The roles
of the stakeholders must be delineated but complementary for them to work as a team to ensure the
successful implementation of the project. The activities to be implemented must be well coordinated
and must cater to the needs of the local community. The resources in terms of manpower, facilities,
and funds are assumed available, sufficient and properly managed. To sustain the project,
complementation and counter-parting schemes must be developed among the various stakeholders in
Bolinao.

It is vital that fisher folk or the residents in Bolinao are well organized and involved in the project since
they will be given the primary role of protecting their own resources and habitat. The capability-
building component of the project is expected to upgrade the capability and knowledge of the
stakeholders, particularly the private sector. Continuous upgrading will help increase the private
sector's efficiency and effectiveness in performing their community responsibilities. The existing
seven people's organizations in Bolinao must take an active role in the project and must work
harmoniously to ensure the success of the project. The establishment of seagrass watch composed
of volunteers from the local community will be vital in the project since this really focuses on the
protection and management of seagrass in Bolinao.

Therefore, for continuity of the project, the operation and management of the project will be turned
over to the local government of Bolinao. It will also be responsible for establishing linkages and
networking of the various organizations/sectors involved in seagrass undertakings. However, UP-MSI
will continue to monitor the progress of the project while the national and local government agencies
continuously enforce appropriate laws and render technical assistance when needed

With funding from UNEP/GEF and additional financial support from the stakeholders, there is no
doubt that the project can be a successful one and will be financially sustainable.


7

---

Based on the memorandum of understanding, the funds of the project will be transferred and
managed by the UP MSI. UP MSI will undertake to execute the activities at the Cape Bolinao
seagrass demonstration site as approved in the business plan for the site, being developed by the
National Seagrass Committee in conjunction with the Project Coordinating Unit. Limited personnel will
be hired and trained for the project. Project management strategies will be designed and studied.
Implementing agencies will ensure that the activities and finances of the project will be managed
properly.

Risks

Political Risk
From previous experiences it's very clear that political will must be there to accomplish the project
activities successfully. It is a key condition in fact. Although substantial successes may be achieved at
the levels that POs and NGOs operate, at the end the biggest impact is obtained if the legally
mandated agency, i.e. the municipal government is supportive and involved.

The clearest signs of ability and commitment that an LGU can give are:
· Proof of past initiatives and pro-active attitude in coastal resource management;
· Allocation of resources (funds and manpower) for coastal resource management in the annual
budget.

Donor driven projects often suffer from government agencies "committing" for the sake of acquiring
the projects and its funds. All too often active participation during project implementation has been too
low to speak of ownership and actual commitment. But since the project include the active
participation of all the stakeholders including the community; the project is assured to be sustained as
indicated to the output of the project activities.

Social and economic risks
This project contributes to a shift in the paradigm of the fisher folk's view on seagrass habitat. Please
state the current view of fisherfolks on seagrass. The past has shown that this is not without risk. In
one barangay ten people were killed because of addressing illegal fishing practices. Changes always
face resistance, but when food security and basic income are touched, emotional tensions can
escalate into violence. This would greatly diminish project impact and the potentials of success.
Caution should be taken at all times. The legal aspects in this project are to secure safety and justice.

With respect to livelihood, initiatives will be aimed at financially and environmentally viable enterprises
that will need the leverage of buy-in from other investors to make a difference. If not, any new
initiative will only marginally contribute to livelihood. Due attention should be paid to marketing
products beyond municipal boundaries. The mid-term review should critically evaluate progress made
in this respect.

With emphasis given to the strengthening of information, education campaign on the importance of
seagrass ecology and its management scheme, the social and economic risks will be minimized due
to the conservation, wise utilization and proper disposition and enforcement of related laws and
regulations.

Natural risks
Natural risks are maybe the most acceptable ones, as they can't be helped, but can nevertheless be
very destructive. Over the years, the following natural threats have been faced:

El Niņo has caused great damage, through warm sea currents that passed the Philippines, bleaching
the coral reefs. While this is only an intermittent phenomenon, global climate change is probably more
worrisome. If sea temperatures continue to rise, many reefs, being extremely sensitive to temperature
changes, will die. This would imply the loss of habitat for many marine species that would also die.
This risk cannot be avoided, except through global interventions. Philippines can of course do its
share.



8

---

Another natural calamity, which the Lingayen Gulf region is subject to, is typhoons. They frequently
occur and super typhoons can be especially damaging. Fish pens and cages are affected, causing
great economic losses. Even young mangroves planted were lost after typhoons struck. Although this
can never be fully prevented, great care should be taken that the trees are planted in the right season.
It has happened more than once, even during the predecessor of this project, that seedlings were
planted late and too close to the typhoon season.

Project management risks
This project is politically loaded. UPMSI, as a research institute, definitely does not have politics as its
main interest, although it continuously moves in political waters. It has the capability to address
political concerns, precisely because it is known to be an objective and knowledgeable institute. Yet,
project staff will have to be well equipped to face and deal with politics in appropriate manners and
pay sufficient attention to issues that are politics-based. The risk for MSI is that it might get too
politically involved. It will have to find its balance in accomplishing its (project) mission.

Another risk factor is the qualifications of the project staff. Since the existing manpower at MSI is
already overextended, additional staffs to occupy the full-time positions are required. Qualified staff is
hard to find but is a crucial factor for success. Due to the long gap between the previous project and
this project, most of the previous staff has left for other organizations. Critical functions are the senior
project manager and mid-level technical specialists. At least 3 months must be allowed between
project approval and field deployment for staff recruitment, selection, orientation and training.

INFORMATION ON PROPOSED EXECUTING AGENCY/IES

MARINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Mandate
The Marine Science Institute seeks to achieve the following objectives:
· To generate basic information necessary for optimal and sustained utilization, management, and
conservation of the marine environment and its resources.
· To provide graduate-level training and extension services to develop human resource
requirements in the marine sciences.
· To develop appropriate and environmentally-sound marine-based technologies for industrial and
economic development.

History
The University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) was originally established as the
Marine Sciences Center (MSC) with the approval of its charter by the Board of Regents on 28 March
1974. MSC served as the University's coordinating base for marine research. In June of the same
year, the first Advisory Executive Council of the Center was formed with the appointment of Dr.
Edgardo D. Gomez as acting Director.

The Center commenced its operations in February 1975 at the building of the U.P. Natural Sciences
Research Institute. With its transformation into an institute on 23 April 1985, MSI began offering
graduate programs.

It is now tasked to pursue research, teaching, and extension work in marine biology, marine
chemistry, physical oceanography, marine geology, and related disciplines.

Performance
in the last 26 years, UPMSI has grown from a complement of less than 10 to about 150 personnel, the
majority of whom are professional staffs. Through the years, UPMSI has made a significant
contribution to tropical marine science. In 1995, MSI had 1.0 international refereed publication per
PhD per year, the highest among academic institutions in the country. At the national level, these

15

---

contributions form the bases of policies that guide the research and development programs of the
country. In recognition of its achievements in research and instruction, the Institute has received
numerous awards from both government and private organizations. On 15 December 1994, UPMSI
was designated the "National Center of Excellence in the Marine Sciences" by Presidential
Proclamation No.518.
Linkages
UPMSI undertakes collaborative research with local, national, and international agencies. UPMSI, for
example, has served as a major implementing agency in various ASEAN marine science programs.
UPMSI is also represented in a number of national and international committees and organizations
concerned with marine resources and the marine environment. Many of the staffs are members of
professional organizations and editorial boards of local and international journal.

APPENDIX 1 FULL SITE CHARACTERIZATION

1.1
Site description

AREA: Bolinao has 23,320 hectares of land area. It is subdivided into the following:
47.13% agricultural, built-up area 2.02%, infrastructure/institutional 10.84%, pasture land 11.07%,
forest area 8.09%, fishpond 2.74%, brushland and open range 16.25%, and rivers and creeks 1.85%.

ENVIRONMENT: Cape Bolinao, Pangasinan is located in the northwestern Philippines and is an
integral part of the Lingayen Gulf (McManus et al. 1992; Rivera 1997). The geology of the mainland
part of Bolinao is basically limestone with its topsoil producing only limited crops, thus agriculture
provides only a limited contribution to the town's economy. Most of its livelihood has been heavily
dependent on the harvest from the marine environment (McManus et al. 1992). Bolinao has a distinct
dry and wet season. The rainy period starts about early May and ends in mid-October (Rollon 1998).
Furthermore, the marine water (physico-chemical) profiles are: water quality ­ light attenuation
coefficients varied from clear to relatively turbid water (0.1 to 2.0 m-1), temperature range is 32-35 oC
during summer months (April-May) while falling to 26-28 oC in July to August and January to
February, salinity ranges from 30-35 o/o, sedimentation flux 1.5-10 g dry weight (DW) m-2 hr-1
(depending on the site), average water flow velocity > 9 cm s-1, and b) sediment condition ­ grain size
composed of very coarse sand (~60-75 % DW), fine sand (20-30 % DW), very fine sand (~5-20 %
DW), and silt (from negligible to ~5 % DW) and organic matter ~5 % DW (Rollon 1998).

HABITAT(S): The Bolinao area is a fringing coral reef system, also containing mangrove areas and
extensive seagrass beds. About 37 km2 of the 50 km2 of the total reef flat area are covered by
seagrasses, usually mixed beds (Fortes 1989, 1995). There are seven seagrass species recorded in
the area: Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, C. serrulata, Halodule
uninervis, Halophila ovalis, and Syringodium isoetifolium (Fortes 1989, 1995). The reef area,
particularly the seagrass meadows, is identified as a critical habitat for the spawning and nursery of
juvenile stocks of the Gulf such as rabbitfish and sea urchins. Rabbitfish Siganus fuscescens juveniles
migrate from open sea to the seagrass areas to seek refuge and food habitat while sea urchins
(Tripneustes gratilla) remain within the bed to forage.

PRESENT USE: Bolinao has a population of approximately 80,000 with about 15,000 households. In
Bolinao alone, there are about 3,000 fishers, most of whom are totally dependent on fishing for
income. The pressure on the reefs is bound to increase, and the need for effective resource
management is critical. Mariculture has been increasing and could partially solve the problem,
although present unsustainable practices have caused environmental deterioration and socio-
economic injustice.

Generally, the fishing area in Bolinao is located in the Caquiputan Channel and South China Sea.
There are ten (10) barangays who are engaged in the fishing industry, namely; Germinal, Concordia,
Luciente I, Pilar, Victory, Salud, Goyoden, Binabalian, Dewey, and Lucero. About one-third of
Bolinao's population depend on fishing to make a living, and the Bolinao-Anda coral reef complex
serves as the spawning ground for 90% of Bolinao's fish catch. More than 350 species of vertebrates,
invertebrates, and plants are harvested from the reef and appear in Bolinao markets each year.
Excess supplies are transported to other places like Urdaneta, Dagupan City and Manila.

In 1998, the Fisheries Code gave fishers and their organizations the sole authority to operate fish
pens and fish cages. By 2002, there were about 1,170 units of fish pens and cages in Bolinao alone.

The reef fishery in Bolinao is characterized by a multiplicity and seasonality of gear use. Along the
central and southern shoreline, coastal aquaculture has flourished in estuarine habitats (McManus et
al. 1992). Milkfish (Chanos chanos) is the major culture product in the area. The reef flat also provides
year-round fishing areas for the sustenance of fishers because of their close proximity to shore and
shallow depths. Major gear includes hook and line, drive-in nets, spears, fish traps, fish corrals,
gillnets and illegal implements such as explosives and cyanide poison (McManus et al. 1992). The
estimated fish catches are 12 and 3-tonnage km-2 yr-1 from the reef flat and slope areas, respectively.
Despite heavy exploitation, the reefs have maintained moderate levels of productivity, but with evident
signs of degradation and resource depletion. Decreasing species diversity, abundance, mean size
and size at sexual maturity has been documented for major fish species in Bolinao.

17

---

Out of the 30 barangays of Bolinao, 20 are found on coastal areas whom 22% of the total population
is engaged in fishing (Philreefs, 2005). Milkfish aquaculture in Bolinao has now become the major
source of income for its inhabitants. Although this practice has made Bolinao the largest producer of
milkfish (Chanos chanos), studies showed that major fish kills that happened in the area resulted from
the overpopulation of fish in the cages.
On the other hand, tourism is also fast becoming popular in Bolinao. A few new resorts have been
developed in the coastal areas servicing both tourists and locals throughout the year.

APPENDIX 4. EVALUATION AND MONITORING PLAN

1. Collecting and reporting data on performance indicators
Environmental Indicators. Resource assessment shall be done at the start and at the end of the
project to know the (1) floral and faunal biodiversity and (2) to evaluate the impact of the project on
the ecological health of the seagrass meadows. Database shall be established after the resource
assessment for the management and easy analysis of the data. Three pilot sites shall be chosen and
the drafted management plan will be implemented to these areas. Seagrass parameters shall be
monitored using the SeagrassWatch methods by the trained community volunteers every after three
month. The collected data shall be encoded in the database for easy access, retrieval and analysis.
Socio-economic Indicators. A survey with the local communities shall be conducted at the
beginning and at the end of the project using a mixture of participatory methods and questionnaires.
Pre-implementation survey and assessment of current seagrass knowledge shall also be done to
determine appropriate information and educational strategies. Aside from these, several trainings and
workshop shall be conducted during the entire duration of the project depending on the needs of the
community especially on the resource assessment and monitoring for effective resource
management.
Process Indicators. The impacts of the different activities of the project such as the resource
assessment, information and education campaign, livelihood, and others shall be evaluated through
participatory approaches during the mid-term and end of the project. This is to assess the community
satisfaction and involvement and to which degree the project meets the local needs in terms of
managing coastal resources through IEC and sustainable alternative livelihood program. Each
participant attending the trainings and workshops shall be obliged to evaluate the output of such
activities for future revision and development.
Quarterly financial report shall be prepared by the demo site project manager and sent as report to
the donor as required under the terms of agreement. This is needed for the processing and releasing
of the next quarter budget request. Progress of the project through the project manager shall also be
assessed quarterly as required under the signed terms of agreement.

Mid-term review of the project shall be conducted eighteen months after the start of the project and
three months prior to the termination of the project. An external evaluator shall be hired or sent by the
donor to conduct such review. An internal evaluation of activities will also be done. The reviews that
focused on the IEC, socio-economic and resource impacts of Municipal Ordinances, and sustainable
alternative livelihood shall be scheduled on the third quarter of second year and fourth quarter of third
year of the project implementation and these reviews shall involved local communities. Over-all, these
project evaluations aim to determine the effectiveness of the strategies and approaches that are
utilized for a particular activity to ultimately reverse the degradation trends of seagrasses in the
demonstration site.

3. Description of how monitoring and evaluation activities will involve participants and
stakeholders

Monitoring and evaluation through participatory approach in the local level shall be the integral part of
the project. Stakeholders' interest and support shall be gained in the community-based quarterly
monitoring of seagrass parameters using the SeagrassWatch method. Prior to the implementation of
the said activity, the volunteers from the local communities or the three pilot sites shall be trained to
conduct the monitoring. The trainings involved taxonomy seagrasses and related fauna and flora for
resource assessment, and the bio-parameters measurement. Questionnaires and evaluation criteria
shall also be developed and answered for each activity to have a feedbacking, which involves
consultants and the local communities (stakeholders) as interviewees.

4. Resources that will be allocated to monitoring and evaluation

Five thousand (US$) shall be allocated for the mid-term and end-of-project evaluation to cover
consultancy fees and expenses for external evaluator. For the internal evaluation of the project, US$
7,000.00 (US$ 3,000.00 from UNEP and US$ 4,000.00 worth of cash and in kind contribution from co-
funding) shall be allocated to cover the expenses for the said activity.

5. How will monitoring and evaluation results be used in management?

Key issues shall be highlighted in the progress report for discussion at the project management level.
This will help in identifying problems and possible solutions at the project management team prior to
the mid-term project evaluation. The issues and problems will be addressed and solutions will be
implemented in the succeeding quarters of the project. Final evaluation and final report will be
published to help the donor, participants, resource managers, and other interested parties, e.g. World
Seagrass Association and SeagrassNet, learn the lessons from the project. Cape Bolinao demo site
also plans to evaluate the different components of the project such as IEC, livelihood and resource
assessment two times during the entire duration of the project to address particular issues for
effective management.
