    II. Coastal Management Profile


    A. Institutional arrangements
    The TWG for ICRMP is an active group composed of representatives of 40% peoples
    organizations - cooperatives, POs, FARMCs academe (40%) and municipal offices
    (60%). The LGU has designated a Focal Person for ICRM who is at the same the
    designated MENRO and holder of a plantilla position as the Municipal Assessor,
    making him one of the busiest persons at the LGU. The local executive
    demonstrated leadership, openness to the ideas and participated in the activities
    when possible.
    B. Coastal zoning
    Municipal water boundaries are not yet delineated and there is still an unsettled
    dispute with Sta. Praxedes. The comprehensive land use plan needs updating.
    Per Municipal Ordinance # 104-2000 regulates coastal, aquatic, and fisheries
    resources utilization, conservation and management. Municipal coastal and
    foreshore areas are divided into aquaculture zones, zone for stationery traps and
    corals, zone for catching fry, marine sanctuaries, berthing area, habitat
    conservation area, eco-tourism, and service areas for lighthouse, fish landings, for
    beach resorts.
    C. Fisheries management
    Fishery management strategies in the Mun. Ord. # 104-2000 include zoning, catch
    regulation such as seasonal closures on fry collection (i.e. ludong or goby),

    collection of gravid crabs & crablets, area closure (seasonal and MPA), permit
    system, fee and licensing of boats, gears (all active gears, compressor), trading fees
    and concessions. While there are regulations on fish catch and efforts, maximum
    sustainable yield has not been determined, a technical limitation recognized at
    their level. BFAR conducts catch monitoring but data analysis is limited to their
    own target objectives.
    D. Marine protected area management
    Five 95) MPA sites have been adopted. However, only the Taggat Norte MPA site
    was delineated and has achieved Level 2 in MEAT ranking. A mangrove site was
    also protected.
    E. Natural and man-made hazard management
    Hazards were identified in 2011 and upon which the annual MDRRM plans were
    based. The plans consist of activities for the establishment of DRRM and emergency
    response systems. The local radio station owned by the LGU and cell phone
    networks issue the warnings. The early warning system is planned to be improved
    The river bank rip rapping, facilitated through counter parting scheme with the
    ICRMP, is almost completed. Other hazard mitigation actions are the promotion of
    eco-friendly farming techniques like organic farming, a provincial ordinance banning
    the burning of agriculture waste and promoting composting. The LGU has a plant
    now pay later incentive scheme that provides for the payment for rice to the
    farmer who applies a 50/50 combination of organic-synthetic fertilizer and produces
    organic fertilizer that will be sold to other farmers.
    Other local actions are coastal and river bank clean-up, solid waste segregation and
    collection of the recyclable materials to be sold to junkshops. Only the segregated
    recyclables are collected in the entire municipality. Unsegregated recycl ables are
    not collected.
    F. Climate Change Adaptation Management
    There is no specific action plan on climate change adaptation. However, they
    consider tree planting and greening as a climate change adaptation action.
    Mangrove rehabilitation and protection and upland reforestation are also counted
    as their initiative for climate change adaptation.
    G. Threatened species
    Mun Ord. # 104-2000 includes the local penalty for catching threatened species.
    Municipal waters are part of the Babuyan channel, and thus, Claveria claims the
    identified species with biodiversity importance like dolphins and whales. There is

    also a regulation for catching locally threatened species like freshwater goby fish,
    sabalo and fry, and mud crab that has high market value.
    Another local action to protect/ save threatened species is the participation of the
    MFARMC in the rescue and release of stranded marine wildlife like turtles and
    marine mammals. Enforcement of laws and regulations are important contributions
    of the council together with Bantay Kalikasan.
    H. Water use and supply management
    Identification of fresh water source was done a long time ago. Claveria was
    recently given an award for having the cleanest water in the country. Estimation of
    water resources has not done either yet. Claveria has several surface water
    sources, being endowed with river, falls and springs. Claveria however does not
    have a water use and supply management plan. Reforestation on watershed and
    regular riverbank clean-up are conducted intermittently.
    I.

    Pollution reduction and waste management


    WACC has been conducted in previous years. Wastes are segregated in all barangays
    and recyclables are collected through the MRFs while biodegradables are disposed
    of at home back yards. There is no burning of agriculture waste and composting or
    organic fertilizer production is being promoted. There is no industrial pollution in
    the locality as there no industries. Agricultural practices and domestic waste are the
    usual sources of pollution which is deemed to be at an insignificant level.

    J.

    Compliance and enforcement


    Enforcement of CRM-related regulations are undertaken by 32 deputized fish
    wardens and the active MFARMC members. Most of the BRAFMC are active if not
    all and recently, the MFARMC garnered a 2nd place award as best MFARMC in the
    country. They have a center of operations near the coast, with patrol boats and fuel
    supplies. Fifty percent (50%) of the cash award will be allocated for their operations
    and 50% will be invested in livelihood project of the members.
    The MFARMC has a set of logbooks to record operations, compiled reports, but they
    have yet to learn and practice reporting-feedback system.

    K. Monitoring
    Monitoring activities have been conducted but there is no institutional program or
    system for monitoring CRM , thus researches or other forms of information are not
    put into use in planning or evaluation. For instance, the DENR conducts water
    quality sampling, the BFAR RII conducts catch monitoring but the LGUs do not have
    a copy of the results and do not consider these information in their planning.
