MPA ESTABLISHMENT

AND MANAGEMENT: A
REVIEW
Fisheries management aims to
reduce fishing effort to sustainable
levels and to improve the overall
ecological integrity of the fishery
and its habitats.
MPAs are merely one of the options under fisheries
management and habitat management programs
within CRM.
Other management options include:
 Registration and licenses
 Gear restrictions and other effort restrictions
 Minimum mesh sizes
 Closed seasons, quotas, etc.
Characteristics of a community-based marine
sanctuary or reserve:
 Encompasses NO-TAKE
 Managed and enforced by the community and the LGU – co-
management
 Have a legal basis
Objectives of MPAs
 Preservation of biodiversity and genetic biodiversity
 Conserving ecosystems and maintaining ecological processes
 Sustainable use of resources
 Protecting commercially valuable species
 Replenish depleted stocks
 Education and research
 Protection from natural hazards
 Recreation and tourism
 Multiple objective MPAs

Benefits of MPAs
1. Increased spawning stock
2. “Spillover” – enhanced catches close
to reserves
3. Migratory species also benefit
4. Improved habitats, increased
productivity and carrying capacity
5. Maintained genetic diversity within
stocks
6. Enhanced biodiversity and species
protection
7. Reduced conflict among fishery
sectors and between fisheries and
other uses

Criteria in selecting MPA
Ecological importance
 Contributes to maintenance of essential ecological
processes or life support systems, e.g. source for
larvae for downstream areas;
 The degree to which the area, by itself or in association with others;
 has a complete ecosystem (mangrove, seagrass, coral reefs)
 contains diversity of life forms (high coral cover)
 is a critical habitat for rare or endangered species (Dugong, sea turtle,
etc.)
 contains nursery or juvenile areas
 contains important feeding, breeding or rest areas
 preserves genetic diversity, i.e. diverse and abundant in terms of
species.
Social importance
 Existing or potential value to local, national or international communities
because of heritage, historic, cultural, aesthetic, educational or
recreational qualities
 The degree to which the area impacts on the community (who and how
many will be adversely affected )

Economic importance
 Existing or potential contribution to economic value by virtue of
protection of recreation, subsistence use by traditional
inhabitants, tourism, refuge, nursery area,
and recruitment source for commercially
important species.
Practicality/feasibility considerations
 Degree of insulation from external destructive
influences
 Social and political acceptability
 Community support
 Accessibility for education, tourism, recreation
 Compatibility with existing uses, particularly by locals
 Ease of manageability (location, area covered)
 Compatibility with existing management regimes
Attributes of a good MPA
 Reasonable quality of resources, if habitat is poor, make it bigger and
include more habitats
 Management committee organized and active with clearly defined roles
and medium term action plan
 All sectors have a role in the sanctuary, women, fishers, youth council
etc.
 At least 60% of community are willing to support the sanctuary
 Clear and strict guidelines developed
through a series of consultations
 Clear, delineated and marked
boundaries and zones with guidelines
on the use of each zone
 Clear, attractive, well positioned and
in local dialect, signboards
Factors of the success of MPA
 Need a good initiator/facilitator with experience in implementation
of coastal projects
 Counterparting of resources and involvement of all agencies with a
mandate
 Involvement of all sectors of community and
municipality – Co-management
 Continuous IEC
 Clear and strict guidelines for the sanctuary
 A good management committee is
established with clear management plan
 Full-time guarding and patrolling
 Aware and well-informed community
 Budget allocated for future years
 Variety of strong leaders in the community as
well as second liners
1. Pagpangandam sa Komunidad
• Nasabtan ba sa lokal nga
kagamhanan ug lomulupyo
nganong gikinahanglan ang
santwaryo ug ang proseso sa
pagtukod ini?

• Nagkasinabtanay ba ang
mga ginsakupan sa tumong ug
katuyoan sa santwaryo?

• Miagi ba kini pag-konsulta sa


katawhan?
2. Pag-usisa sa kahimtang ug pag-
mapa sa lugar
• Ang lugar ba sa napiling santwaryo
nauyonan sa mga ginsakupan?
•Miagi ba kini ug pag-usisa
aron mahimbaw-an ang
kahimtang kabahin sa
kinaiyanhong bahandi niini?

•Na-mapa, nalatid, ug
natiman-an ba ang mga
utlanan niini?
3. Pagpalig-on sa aktibong grupo nga
nagdumala
• Na-ila, natukod ug nalihok na ba ang grupo
nga mao’y hatagan ug gahum nga magdumala
sa santwaryo?
•Nahatagan ba kini sila sa ug kahanas
kabahin sa maayong pagpalakaw
niini?

• Ana-a bay management plan nga


nahan-ay ng mogiya sa pagdumala ug
pagpasunud sa mga kalagdaan ug
polisiya sa santwaryo?
4. Pagpalegal sa santwaryo ug
pagtinabangay sa pagdumala
•Legal ba ang santwaryo? Gipaligdong ba kini
ug mga angay nga ordinansa? Gisuportahan ba
kini ug regular nga badyet ug mga tinugyanan
nga tawo ? Nagtinabangay ba ang
lokal nga kagamhanan ug mga
lomulopyo sa pagdumala niini?
Gidapit ba ang ubang mga
kapunungan nga makahatag ug
teknikal nga suporta ug uban pang
tabang kabahin sa santwaryo?
5. Pagbantay ug pagpatuman sa
balaod
•Ana ba’y organisado ug hanas nga grupo nga
gitugyanan sa pagbantay ug pagpaniid sa
kalihokan sa santwaryo? Nataga-an ba kini sila
ug igo nga pagbansaybansay kabahin sa
pagpatuman sa balaod?

• Makanunayon ba ang
ilang pagbantay ug
pagpaniid?
6. Pagpadayon ug pagpalig-on sa
edukasyon ug pagsalmot sa
katawhan
•Padayon ba ang pagpasabot sa katawhan
kabahin sa tumong, katuyoan, ug mga
benepisyong makuha sa santwaryo? Matubag
ba sa programang
pang-edukasyon ang
mga pangutana ug
kabalaka kabahin niini?
7. Pag-subay ug pagsukit-sukit (M&E)
sa pag-uswag sa santwaryo
•Kasagaran bang gihimo ang
pagsubay ug pagsukitsukit (M&E) sa
pag-uswag sa santwaryo? Ang mga
resulta ba gumikan niini maka-abot
ngadto sa mga lomulopyo, lokal nga
opisyales, liderato ug sa mga
ginsakupan? Gigamit ba ang mga
resulta aron mapa-ayo ang
pagdumala sa santwaryo?
Lessons learned and
recommendations
 Slowly go at the pace of the community
 If there are problems go back a step and start again
 Need a good area that will give other positive results
within one year
 Strong IEC even after establishment
 It is a process which takes 6 months to two years to
implement
 Include large buffer zone with restricted fishing gears
 Include landward section and other habitats in the area
 Monitor it!
 Have a formal launching ceremony
 Be open to offer technical assistance even after establishment
 Staff should have a technical background
 Make the guardhouse an education center
 Make the sanctuary a showcase with other visitors if it is doing well
