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
Source: Salm et al. 2000)
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
Dispersal of fish and larvae from the sanctuary
of a marine reserve
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?
•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?
• 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
