    PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, 05 December (PIA) -- New City Ordinance No. 498 is requiring all island
    resorts in Puerto Princesa City to initially install one mooring buoy and thereafter, additional mooring
    buoy/s that would be proportionate to the number of tourist boat arrival on the island.
    The ordinance known as “Mooring Buoy Ordinance” and authored by City Councilor Erwin Edualino
    shall form part of the requirements for the issuance of a Mayor’s Permit for island resort business
    establishments.
    Installation of a mooring buoy is to primarily prevent anchor damage on sensitive marine areas such
    as coral reef and seagrass beds and to enhance boat safety.
    The ordinance stipulates that the mooring buoys should be at least 150 meters away from the
    lowest tide as designated by the City Planning Office in consultation with the Philippine Coast
    Guard, City Agriculture Office, and the DENR.
    The minimum carrying capacity for each mooring buoy is 10 gross tons. The island resort shall
    designate a minimum of ten percent and/or a maximum of twenty percent of the total beach area as
    beach mooring area.
    Penalties for non-maintenance of the mooring buoy is P1,000 for the first offense; P2,500 penalty
    and suspension of Mayor’s Permit for the second offense; and a penalty of P5,000 and revocation
    of Mayor’s Permit for the third offense.
