This book was released on 2012 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The Philippines has a vast coastal zone with resources that serve as valuable assets for Filipinos, particularly those living in coastal communities. However, these resources are under considerable threat and are confronted with severe degradation which includes overfishing, illegal fishing, illegal cutting of mangroves and coastal pollution. These problems have been aggravated by poor institutional arrangements for coastal management, weak coastal law enforcement and policy formulation, and inappropriate coastal management mechanisms. Much of the damage to the coastal environment caused by these problems is concentrated in the northern part of the country where the Lingayen Gulf is situated. The Lingayen Gulf ecosystem is used as a case study in this research as it illustrates coastal problems and institutional responses to them. Data gathering for this research included two principal methods: documentation and interviewing. Documentation was used for setting out the problem addressed in the thesis, describing the situation, and developing the literature review concerning the management of the coastal resources of the Lingayen Gulf. Interviewing was at the core of this research. It was used to compare and verify the information gathered from written documents and, more importantly, to acquire new data relating to coastal management in the Lingayen Gulf. The research consulted a wide range of literature related to the theory, practice and history of coastal management and looked at some specific examples of integrated coastal management (ICM) implementation in Asia. It also critically examined the roles of the national government, the local government and the community sector as the lead actors in the coastal management of the Lingayen Gulf. This involved in-depth semi-structured interviews of 42 respondents from the national and local government sectors, and the community sector who were involved in the management of the Gulf’s coastal resources. The main findings of the research were that coastal problems continued despite a succession of coastal management initiatives and that most stakeholders were dissatisfied with the outcomes and processes of these initiatives. The latter failed to fully iv incorporate all of the components of ICM. Other issues identified included overlapping roles and conflicts between national government agencies, ambiguous laws and rules, lower than needed involvement and capacity of local government, and weak involvement of local communities. From these findings it was recommended to encourage more active participation of the community sector in coastal management, the creation of a management unit to coordinate all coastal management activities in the Lingayen Gulf, harmonisation of coastal laws to avoid confusion and weak law enforcement, and adoption of a comprehensive coastal management system, such as the ICM approach, that can help mitigate coastal problems in the Gulf as proven in other countries around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines has been a pioneer in granting communities greater involvement in managing natural resources, including forests, coastal resources, and irrigation water. Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has seemed the answer to improving both equity and sustainability, yet progress has been mixed. This book presents a collection of papers from a large review of Philippine CBNRM. As this study makes clear, CBNRM remains the nation's best hope for sustainability; it is thus important to identify ways to improve outcomes, both for natural resources and for local resource-dependent peoples.

Book excerpt: During the last decade, there has been a shift in the governance and management of fisheries to a broaderapproach that recognizes the participation of fishers, local stewardship, and shared decision-making.Through this process, fishers are empowered to become active members of the management team,balancing rights and responsibilities, and working in partnership with government. This approach iscalled co-management.This handbook describes the process of community-based co-management from its beginning, throughimplementation, to turnover to the community. It provides ideas, methods, techniques, activities, checklists,examples, questions and indicators for the planning and implementing of a process of community-basedco-management. It focuses on small-scale fisheries (freshwater, floodplain, estuarine, or marine) indeveloping countries, but is also relevant to small-scale fisheries in developed countries and to themanagement of other coastal resources (such as coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass, and wetlands). Thishandbook will be of significant interest to resource managers, practitioners, academics and students ofsmall-scale fisheries.

Book excerpt: This is a new edition of the classic textbook on marine protected area (MPA) management in the tropics, originally produced as an output of the Bali World Parks Congress in 1982. Approaches to planning and managing MPAs have evolved considerably. Major advances include innovative financing mechanisms, partnerships with the private sector and NGOs, and collaborative management between government and coastal communities. These advances have brought new approaches for MPA establishment and management that are more participatory, involving communities through interaction and collaboration rather than prescription. With new case studies and illustrations, the guide comes in a water-resistant cover for field use. It is intended for those who plan individual and/or national MPA systems and gives philosophical context for MPAs along with some basic principles and approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides the erroneous assumption that tropical fisheries are ‘open access’, the cases demonstrate that pre-existing systems (1) are concerned with the community of fishers and ensuring community harmony and continuity; (2) involve flexible, multiple and overlapping rights adapted to changing needs and circumstances; (3) that fisheries are just one component of a community resource assemblage and depend on both the good management of linked upstream ecosystems and risk management to ensure balanced nutritional resources of the community; and (4) pre-existing systems are greatly affected by a constellation of interacting external pressures.
Download or read book Governing Marine Protected Areas written by Peter Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative volume, the author addresses some important challenges related to the effective and equitable governance of marine protected areas (MPAs). These challenges are explored through a study of 20 MPA case studies from around the world. A novel governance analysis framework is employed to address some key questions: How can top-down and bottom-up approaches to MPA governance be combined? What does this mean, in reality, in different contexts? How can we develop and implement governance approaches that are both effective in achieving conservation objectives and equitable in fairly sharing associated costs and benefits? The author explores the many issues that these questions raise, as well as exploring options for addressing them. A key theme is that MPA governance needs to combine people, state and market approaches, rather than being based on one approach and its related ideals. Building on a critique of the governance analysis framework developed for common-pool resources, the author puts forward a more holistic and less prescriptive framework for deconstructing and analyzing the governance of MPAs. This inter-disciplinary analysis is aimed at supporting the development of MPA governance approaches that build social-ecological resilience through both institutional and biological diversity. It will also make a significant contribution to wider debates on natural resource governance, as it poses some critical questions for contemporary approaches to related research and offers an alternative theoretical and empirical approach.
