1.0 Introduction
1.1 Rationale of the Plan
Amlan is a 4th class municipality situated on the Eastern Coast of Negros Island, Central
Visayas, Philippines. It lies 21 kilometers North of Dumaguete City, the Provincial Capital of
Negros Oriental. It is bounded in the East by Tañon Strait. Amlan has a population of 22,206
(NSO 2010 Census) distributed in the eight (8) barangays which comprised the whole
municipality. Of these 8 barangays, five are coastal that shared a 7- kilometer stretch of
coastline. There are two marine protected areas located in Barangay Tandayag and
Barangay Bio-os.
Overfishing is the main problem in the area. This is due to intrusion of commercial fishers in
the municipal waters which resulted to declining fish catch and affecting 431 fishermen
who are mainly dependent on coastal resources. Coupled with other issues such as
increasing population, degradation of coastal habitats, and destructive and illegal fishing
practices, the production from fisheries dramatically declined making food and the
livelihood of the fishers a major concern.
The Municipality of Amlan, just like the other coastal LGUs in the Philippines, has been
undertaking several efforts to protect and to restore its coastal and fisheries resources. It
has adopted a five – year coastal resource management (CRM) plan which will be
updated this year 2012. This plan was prepared with the participation of coastal
communities and other stakeholders and through the support of the provincial government
and the Silliman University Angelo King Center for Research and Environmental
Management (SUAKCREM). The MPA management strategies were integrated in this CRM
plan.
MPA management has been evolving until it has achieved the community buy- in and
voluntary compliance to the MPA rules and regulations that this Pride campaign has been
advocating. Pride campaign was successfully implemented through the partnership of the
Local Government Unit of Amlan thru its Municipal Environment and Natural Resources
Office (MENRO), the Environment and Natural Resources Division-Office of the Governor of
Negros Oriental and Rare, Inc. – a non-government organization specialized in social
marketing through Pride. Pride Campaign is the implementation of both the Social
Marketing (Knowledge, Attitude and Interpersonal Communication) and Barrier Removal
strategies (Strengthening enforcement and governance) towards achieving community
buy-in that lead to biodiversity conservation, taking into account the rich experience and
best practices of MPA/CRM implementation in the Philippines.
Along with this achievement is a challenge particularly in sustaining the efforts and the
current positive behaviors of the fishers and communities.

The two – year Pride Campaign has produced some bright spots, lessons and best practices
that are worth sustaining. Hence, this MPA management plan captures all the lessons and
the experience that the LGU has in the management of MPA to guide the ManComm in
the day-to-day operations of Tandayag and Bio-os MPAs.
1.2 Scope of the Plan
This plan covers the programs, management strategies and implementation timelines for
the day to day operations of the Bio-os and Tandayag Marine Protected Areas. The
proposed budget, the implementing structures and the role of different key players within
the structure are of this plan. The implementation of this plan is five (5) years, starting from
2013 to 2015.
1.3 Legislative Authority of the Action
The formulation of this MPA Management Plan is governed by the provisions of the
Municipal Ordinance No. 02 Series of 1996 and Municipal Ordinance No. 21 Series of 1999,
the ordinances declaring the Tandayag and Bio-os MPAs, respectively. The specific
provisions on the regulations and enforcement strategies are provided in the ordinance
attached as Annex A of this management plan.
2.0 Marine Protected Area Profile
2.1 Location and Biodiversity Significance
The Marine Protected Area of Tandayag has a total area of 9.22 hectares including the
buffer zone (core zone is 6 hectares). It is within the municipal waters of 24.5 hectares (7km
coastline and 3.5 km drawn perpendicular).
Coral cover for the Tandayag marine sanctuary was low along the reef slope, but
moderate in the shallows along the reef flat. Both habitats had large amounts of sand,
which is typical of patch reefs along the coastline of Negros Oriental. The low levels of
rubble indicate little if any damage from blasting or storms. However, the relatively high
amount of dead coral with algae (DCA) along the flat is a bit alarming. DCA is the result of
recently killed coral that has been colonized by algae. This may be the result of a
disturbance such as crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), disease, or the absence of herbivores in
the reef. Coral cover is not likely to increase drastically over the years due the lack of
appropriate hard substrate for the corals to colonize (Stockwell 2007).
Barangay Bio-os has an MPA covering an area of 8.87 hectares, located offshore. It has a
fair seagrass with 33.33%, a sandy beach, and a variety of mangrove species inland. Its
MPA has a live hard coral cover of 45%. (Amlan CRM Plan 2007).

2.2 Physical Profile
Only a very small portion of the total land area of the municipality is flat. Except for plains
along the coastline, the terrain of the municipality is generally hilly and mountainous. There
is, therefore a tendency of the soil to be carried down by the water during heavy rains. The
silting of waterways, channels, roads and harbors evidenced this. Improper farming
practices and indiscriminate cutting of trees on the mountainsides can further aggravate
the erosion problem.
The coastal area of Tandayag is characterized by fringing reef and sandy to rocky
shoreline. Coral cover in the Tandayag marine sanctuary was low along the reef slope and
moderate in the shallows along the reef flat. Both habitats had large amounts of sand,
which is typical of patch reefs along the coastline of Negros Oriental.
Bio-os coastal area is dominated by sandy beaches. It has some seagrass meadows at the
shallow part and species of mangroves inland.
2.3 Biological Profile (Status of Ecosystems and Fisheries)
Based on the 2012 survey conducted by MERF, the MPA of Tandayag has live hard coral
cover of 42.98%, abundance of major fish species of 770 individuals per 500m 2, and biomass
of target and major fish species of 24.2 kg/1000m 2.

2.4 Socio - Cultural and Demographic Profile
The town observes its annual fiesta every 30th of November, the Patron Saint being St.
Andrew. On that day, all roads lead to the municipality, as it is a National Holiday, being
Andres Bonifacio Day. On the other hand, the town can equal if not excel other
municipalities in social as well as in cultural affairs. Modesty aside, Amlan has been chosen
as the cleanest and greenest town of the Oriental Negros and certified healthy municipality
by the Regional Health Office.
The most popular activity in the barangay is the celebration of fiestas. Barangay Tandayag
celebrates its annual fiesta every June 29 in honor of Saints Peter and Paul. Sitio Cooton
also celebrates fiesta every March 15 and Upper Tandayag celebrates fiesta every April 18.
Almost all Tandayaganons celebrate the annual town fiesta every November 30.
2.5 Economic Profile (Existing Uses)
Among the notable industrial institutions of Amlan are the oil depots of Caltex Philippines,
Shell Philippines, and Petron. It has also the Tandayag Port, which is accessible by small
boats coming from Cebu. The National Power Corporation has the control power system for
the primary lines supplying the Negros Island, Cebu and Panay Island, and also maintains a
hydro-electric plant in Amlan.
The total commercial land use in the Urban Area is 34.48 hectares. The town is very poor in
commerce and trade, in spite of its Tandayag wharf and industries which support its
commercial activities.
Most of the fishermen in Tandayag and Bio-os depend entirely on fishing for their livelihood.
Others have part time job like, carpentry, labor work and farming during off season for
fishing. Some of the fishermen who are Bantay Dagat members could also earn through
their honoraria given to them by the local government unit and the Barangay.
2.6 Climate Change Vulnerabilities
According to David et.al, there are ten types of
climatic conditions happening in the Philippines that
are attributed to climate change. Based on the
figure, Inabanga belongs to Cluster 6, where increase
in the sea surface temperature is expected to be
within medium range. Other factors such as increase
in precipitation and seas surface heights (SSH) are
medium to high (5).
MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015

With the initial information, it is recommended that vulnerability assessment to climate
change effects should be conducted for the Tandayag and or Bio-os and its adjacent
barangay and or the whole coastal area of Amlan. The assessment to be made will be in
accordance to the criteria under exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the area
with the assistance of the UP – Marine Environmental Resources Foundation (MERF).
However, MERF have established the RESTORED Strategies to adapt to climate change
impacts. The RESTORED Strategy was the basis also for the overall design of the MPA
management programs provided in Section 3.5 of this MPA Management Plan.
2.7 The MPA Ordinance
The town of Amlan has declared two marine protected areas through the Municipal
Ordinance No. 02, Series of 1996 and Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1999 for Tandayag and
Bio-os MPAs, respectively. These two ordinances are unified under the Municipal CRM
Ordinance No. 03, Series of 2007, “A Comprehensive Municipal Ordinance for the
Sustainable Development, Management, Conservation and Protection of the Municipal
Waters and its Coastal and Fishery Resources, Harmonizing and Integrating all Ordinances
Pertinent Thereto and for other Purposes.” Section 7 of this Municipal Ordinance No. 03
stipulates the zonation of municipal waters or the different coastal zones which include
these two MPAs.
Another municipal ordinance was enacted in 2008, Ordinance No. 01, Series of 2008
otherwise known as “An Ordinance Instituting Management and Maintenance Plans,
including Recreational User Fees, for Tandayag Marine Sanctuary and Bio-os „Takot-Diot‟
Marine Sanctuary or Amlan Marine Sanctuary Management Ordinance.”
Management
The management of both MPAs is provided under the above-mentioned ordinances,
though in the case of Tandayag it was not clearly mentioned in the first legislationOrdinance No. 02, Series of 1996. Article III, Section 17 of Ordinance No. 03, S. 2007 specifies
the role of municipal government in the management of these marine reserves. It states
that the Municipal Government, in coordination with the Barangays concerned, MFARMC
and concerned organizations, shall manage the marine reserves.
Section 4 of Ordinance No. 01, S. 2008 also defines the role of the People‟s Organization in
the management. It clearly states the following: I.b. The Tandayag Marine Sanctuary shall
be managed by the Tandayag Marine Sanctuary Association, composed of fisherfolks and
stakeholders of Barangay Tandayag, in coordination with the Tandayag Barangay Council
and the Local Government Unit of Amlan thru its MENRO, CRM Section; and, II.b. The Bio-os
“Takot-Diot” Marine Sanctuary shall be managed by the Bio-os “Takot-Diot” Association,
composed of fisherfolks and stakeholders of Barangay Bio-os, in coordination with the Bio-os
Barangay Council and the Municipal Government of Amlan thru its MENRO, CRM Section.

Prohibitions and penalties
For Tandayag marine sanctuary, Section 3, Ordinance 02, S. 1996 prohibits any person,
association, partnership or corporation to fish, catch, or gather any fish, shrimp, shell, corals,
or any fishery or aquatic product within the marine sanctuary, provided however, that the
government agencies, public or duly recognized private research institutions may be
allowed by the Municipal Mayor to conduct scientific research.
A similar prohibition is provided for under Section 8, Ordinance 21, S. 1999, in the case of Bioos “Takot-Diot” marine sanctuary. There are however, additional prohibitions stated under
this Ordinance which even made more stringent compared to Tandayag marine sanctuary
(see Annex).
With regards to the penalties, the Tandayag MPA has the following range: First OffenderReprimand and the entry of the violation in the Police Blotter, Second Offender – Fine of
Five Hundred Pesos (P500.00), and Third Offender – Imprisonment of six (6) months or fine of
two thousand five hundred pesos (P2,500.00) or both fine and imprisonment at the
discretion of the Court including the administrative summary confiscation of all fishing
paraphernalia used in the commission of the violation. In the case of Bio-os MPA, the
penalties are summarized under Section 9 of Ordinance 21, S. 1999: Whoever violates any
provision of this ordinance shall subject the offender to a fine of not more than P2,500.00
and/or imprisonment of not more than six (6) months or both at the discretion of the Court.
Enforcement
In the aspect of enforcement, Article IX, Section 53 of Municipal Ordinance 03, Series of
2007 provides the creation of MENRO and Section 54, of the same, defines the functions
and responsibilities which include enforcement of rules and regulations relating to
environment and natural resources particularly on coastal and fishery management.
Enforcement committee was created through Resolution 101, Series of 2011 for the efficient
implementation of Ordinance No. 03, Series of 2007 of which MENRO also sits as a member.

3. 5 Management Programs, Strategies and Budgets
3.5.1 MPA Governance
To sustain the momentum of the ManComm in MPA management, the following key
activities will be done: (1)24/7 with proper recording, (2) logbook as foresight for
adaptive management, (3) maintenance of guardhouse and other enforcement
paraphernalia, (4) yearly MPA rating by external auditor, (5) bi-annual MPA rating by
LGU for updating its enforcement plan
3.5.2 MPA Management: Institutional and Administrative
The local government unit of Amlan has an existing structure to implement its CRM plan,
where the MPA management plan is integrated. At the helm of this structure is the MENRO,
MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015
13
supported by the provincial ENRD staff. The composition in the MPA management structure
has broadened through the participation of the TWG, the creation of which was done
through the issuance of an executive order. The newly re-organized PO in Tandayag has
tightened the MPA management structure at the barangay level. The day-to-day
operation of MPA management is being carried by the ManComm barangay level under
the supervision of the MENRO.
3.5.3 MPA Management: Policy and Enforcement Program
In September 2011, the 24/7 patrolling for both Tandayag and Bio-os were implemented,
after the formulation of the enforcement plan. The Bantay Dagat duty and the visitors‟
logbooks were already in place. The MENRO staff, at least two persons, facilitates a monthly
meeting of the barangay enforcement team. There is, however, no systematic oversight
system for the logbooks and the data in the logbook are not often analyzed for adaptive
management.
The 25 fishers in Barangay Bio-os, who are beneficiaries of municipal LGU‟s program on the
provision of fishing boats, act as informal „sighters‟ who report intrusions (mostly by
commercial fishing boats encroaching in the municipal waters), as support to the
enforcement team. In Tandayag, the 34 PO members also act as „sighters,‟ in addition to
the 3 Bantay Dagat assigned for Tandayag MPA. The visibility patrols around the municipal
waters are done about thrice a week.
The enforcement system of the municipality includes the following:
1. 17 almost full time deputized fish wardens paid by the MLGU (monthly rate range from
P800 to P1, 500), 11 part time deputized fish wardens paid by the two (2) barangay
councils (monthly rate range from P200 to P400).
2. 2 full time PNP officers
3. Volunteer “sighters,” including 25 fishers of the MLGU‟s boat provision program
4. An enforcement committee created through the SB Resolution 101 to handle cases filed
against illegal fishers
5. 1 speedboat
6. 2 pump boats
There are two enforcement hotline numbers, one at the Mayor‟s Office and the other held
by the MENRO. Those who report illegal fishing activities are assured of quick response. This
already happened thrice in the last two years when the municipality caught commercial
fishing vessels encroaching in the municipal waters. The enforcement team also does not
succumb to pressures from influential people connected with illegal fishers, as what
happened in the commercial fishing vessel owned by a general that encroached in Bio-os
MPA in June 2011.
MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015

The illegal fishers come from other neighboring towns. These fishers are allowed though to
fish (using simple hook and lines only) in Amlan municipal waters, provided that they have
secured permit from LGU-Amlan and are registered fishers from their respective
municipalities. Thus, the municipality is also engaged in education or awareness activities
to orient these fishers from other towns on the prohibited activities in the municipal waters of
Amlan.

Sustaining Mechanisms
The strategy identified was focused on the establishment of environment-friendly enterprises
supportive of the MPA such as but not limited to the revenue generation from the user‟s fee.
Diving and snorkeling activities in the MPA have recently. The MPA ManCom has collected
about P30,000 in user fees from diving and snorkeling activities (diving fee rates: P100 of
Filipinos and P120 for non-Filipinos; snorkeling fee rate: P50). The municipal LGU invested in
the setting - up of diving gears for rental and for biophysical monitoring.
The municipal LGU also earns income from fines collected from illegal fishers caught by its
enforcement activities (100,000 pesos in 2011 and 115,000 pesos so far for 2012). The fisheries
licensing system collected about P50,000 in 2012 from the 359 fishers municipal-wide.
The CRM budget of the municipal LGU for 2012 is about P750,000 (IRA of the municipality for
the year is less than 50 million pesos). P450,000 of the budget already comes from the
general fund (GF) and P300,000 from the 20% development fund. This means that CRM
activities have been integrated in the LGU‟s regular service delivery mechanism.
The LGU also got P500,000 support for Bio-os fishers in 2011 and P625,000 for Tandayag fishers
in 2012 from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for livelihood projects. The
provincial government, through ENRD, provided P40,000 and P50,000 support for the MPA
guardhouse in two MPAs in 2011 and 2012.
The barangay councils have also allotted funds for enforcement activities, in the form of
honorarium for bantay dagat members, in addition to the funds provided by the municipal
government.

3.5.2 Social Marketing Strategies
The LGU-Amlan will sustain the implementation of social marketing activities and collaterals
that were proven effective based on the campaign learning report. For the activities, these
will be done on special or key events in the municipality. The municipal SM team identified
mural painting as SM activity. For the materials, the SM team will produce billboards and
stickers as progression of the previous ones produced. These materials came out to be
effective based on the campaign learning report. Pre-testing and mini-market tests will be
conducted per material or activity. A simplified KAP survey will also be done to measure
the impact, if given the time, manpower and budget. The capacity building process for
Social Marketing at the municipal level already started during the implementation of the
Pride campaign from research, planning, implementation and evaluation since the LGU
staff, particularly the MENRO, were directly and fully involved. There is still a need though to
improve the skills on these aspects.

4.0 Monitoring and Evaluation
The LGU-Amlan will utilize two levels of monitoring and evaluation for the overall MPA
governance. The first one will be conducted annually by external auditor to avoid bias in
the results. The second level will be done by the MENRO through the assistance of the
provincial government (ENRD) and will be conducted bi-annually. This will be used as basis
for updating the 6-month enforcement plan.
3.6.1 Key Lessons from Monitoring




Community biophysical monitoring of the MPA enhances the sense of ownership of
fishers and communities on their MPAs.
MPA rating proves to be effective in improving the MPA
Weekly or monthly check-in of the logbook helps in the proper recording and the
best way of counter-checking the performance of the Bantay Dagat and the
Barangay level ManComm
Maintenance of guardhouse and boundary markers is effective in communicating
non-verbally on the gravity of implementing the MPA rules and regulations. The
guardhouse also helps develop cohesiveness amongst the fishers as it becomes their
meeting place where they could rest and discuss things.
3.6.2 Monitoring Activities
The key activities are divided into three headers: Quantitative Social Monitoring; Qualitative
Social Monitoring and Biological Monitoring. All of these will be spearheaded by LGUAmlan, with the assistance of ENRD.
3.6.2.1 Biological and Social monitoring
The biophysical monitoring will be done by the trained monitoring team in the barangay
and municipal LGU, headed by the MENRO staff.
The quantitative social monitoring will be done in 2013 and 2015 through a socio-economic
survey. The qualitative social monitoring will be done yearly, from 2013 to 2015.

6.0 Sustainability
6.1 Funding Strategy
In addition to the sustaining mechanism discussed earlier, the municipal government will
venture into partnerships with other non-government organizations. Other strategy
could be ring fencing of the income generated from the user‟s fees and fishing
registrations. However, this could not suffice the expenditures for MPA management.
This could be a good start though. Other strategy could be looking into the internal
sources or the municipal budget.
6.2 Donor Relations
The LAP has no current donors. The LAP though has established partnership with Rare for the
Pride campaign and GIZ for the Forest Land Use Plan project. The expenses for the Pride
campaign was ran with the funds from Rare, the provincial government and the partner
LGU.
The LAP has no funding sourcing event at the moment. But the partner LGU has grant from
the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) amounting to P625, 000.00 intended for
the Livelihood project of Tandayag PO.
Considering that the LAP has no current donors, the only potential sources of funds at the
moment could from partner LGU where this project will be implemented.

6.3 Donor Research
The donor will support this project because this concerns conservation of marine habitat
and biodiversity which are at most critical due to destruction and overfishing and to
possible impact of climate change. The pressing issue on climate change has become a
global concern because it has no political boundaries and our oceans are connected. The
Municipality of Amlan has already experienced the effects of climate change such as big
floods affecting a number of households and has brought about heavy siltation in the sea
affecting the coral reefs. It is therefore a high time to sustain and improve efforts on MPA
management, making these more resilient to climate change.
Hence, conservation organizations, government or non-government institutions or even
private individual will share some amount for a bigger cause. With the amount given for this
project, it can already help about 22,206 people of Amlan and can save a total of 17
hectares of coral reefs.
6.4 Fundraising Activities
The following activities will be done to raise funds:
-Proposal writing
-Government budgeting
-Donor‟s forum
-Social network
