Municipality of Amlan MPA Management Strategic Plan (2013 – 2015)
MPA Management Strategic Plan (2013 – 2015) Municipality of Amlan Prepared by: The MPA Technical Working Group The MPA Management Committee Completed with the support of: MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 1 Executive Summary MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 2 Messages MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 3 Endorsement Page MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 4 Table of Contents MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 5 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. MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 6 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). MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 7 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. MERF survey results 2011 2012 LHC (%) 39.7 42.98 Fish abundance (major species) 752 770 Result MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 8 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 9 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. MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 10 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. 3.0 The Management Plan 3.1 MPA Management Issues and Concerns Tandayag: Mga isyu o problema: 1. 2. 3. 4.

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 14 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. Table1.

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.

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. MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 19 Table4.

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.

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. MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 26 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 Potential Project Theme for Donation Vulnerability Assessment MPA resiliency List Potential Donors that align with theme Key Next Steps 7.0 Plan Implementation and Institutionalization 7.1 Institutionalization of the Plan Sangguniang Bayan Resolution (supporting the MPA plan) CRM plan updating through MENRO and TWG (integrating the MPA plan Plan presentation and community consultations MPA Management Strateic Plan of Amlan |2013-2015 27 MFARMC Resolution (CRM plan endorsement to the MDC) Municipal Development Council Executive Committee or MDC EXECOM (CRM Plan approval and endorsement Sangguniang Bayan Enactment of the Ordinance (Adoption of CRM plan) Municipal Mayor (Approval and Execution 7.2 Role of the Mayor’s Office The office of the Mayor has the general supervision over the programs implemented within the municipality.
