PLANNING PROCESS OVERVIEW
The initial phase in the EAFM (Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management) process. Aside from that it is crucial for effectively implementing the management cycle.
StartUP
A band of dry land and adjacent ocean space (water and submerged land) in which terrestrial processes and uses directly affect ocean processes and uses, and vice versa.
COASTAL AREA/ ZONE
To prepare the ground, there are 7 tasks that need to be completed. What is the task 2 in start up A: Preparing the ground?
coordinate with other agencies and LGUs
If current trends of overfishing and environmental degradation continue the coastal resources will be?
- Not be able to provide enough food and the health of the coastal environment will be destroyed.
A participatory process of planning, implementing, and monitoring sustainable uses of coastal resources through collective action and sound decision-making.
COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
In planning process, this will be carried out in order to look at opportunities and threats that could make it easier or harder to achieve the goals. Example of this is using a SWOT Analysis.
Reality Check
If you analyze the Fishers Associations stakeholders and place it in a 2x2 matrix, where does this stakeholders belong in terms of importance and influence?
High Importance/ Low influence
One form of stakeholder analysis is using 2x2 matrix where stakeholders are plotted according to how important and how much influence they have. Can you identify stakeholders who are Low importance & Low influence?
Coastal stakeholders such as Tourism, ports, hotels, industry &scuba diving
The CRM planning process adapted was consists of five phases. What is the Phase 1 of the municipal CRM Program? This is the phase where the process is an essential first step.
Issue identification and baseline assessment
Who will serve as the overall coordinator of CRM planning activities with active involvement and consultation with Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Management Councils (MFARMCs), Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO), Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), Sangguniang Bayan (SB), and all coastal barangays.
Municipal or City Planning and Development Office (MPDO
What are 3 phases in the cyclical process of an EAFM?
PLAN, DO, and CHECK & IMPROVE
The Caraga region belongs in 3 delineated FMAs, what are those?
FMA 8,2 & 9
Give at least two other agencies that should co facilitate with BFAR, this agencies paly a key role in the planning process of EAFM.
DENR(and/or PAMB)- if the area is a protected area under NIPAS.
ARMM- if the area is within the autonomous region
NCIP- if the area includes ancestral domains
What would be the benefits of CRM planning to Local Government Units? cite atleast 2.
-Guides local chief executives on priority issues to be addressed
-Establishes local legislative agenda for municipal, city, and provincial councils
-Provides direction to technical staff on actions to be taken to address priority issues
-Provides a framework for making informed decisions about coastal resource use
-Provides continuity during changes in political administration
-Contributes to long-term sustainability of economic development activities
The local government is the one who is responsible in conducting coastal resource management Planning, under what mandates give atleast two(2)?
It is the local government who will work on the Coastal resource management Planning in fulfillment to what mandates imposed?
Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, Fisheries Code (FC) of 1998, Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) of 1997.
The Plan phase has 3 steps. Can you cite the 3 steps under Plan phase?
1. Define the Fisheries Management Area(FMA)
2.Agree the FMA vision
3. Scope the FMA
A municipal/city CRM plan defines the goals, objectives, policies, and strategies for managing coastal resources over a 5-year or medium-term time horizon consistent with the goals, objectives, and timeframe. Can you provide atleast five (5) essential elements of a municipal CRM plan?
description of the area, maps, management issues, goals and objectives, strategies and actions, institutional and legal framework, timeline, monitoring and evaluation
A stakeholders is?
A stakeholder is any individual , group or organization who has an interest in or who positively or negatively can affect or is affected by fisheries management.
What are the key messages in the EAFM STARTUP A: Preparing the Ground
1. Get organized; and
2. Initiate stakeholder engagement
3. Undertake a legal review
Why is coastal resource management planning important?
As a basic service provided by local government, this will help ensure that fisheries and the habitats that support them are used in ways that ensure long-term availability to the people, produce the greatest benefits, help reduce risks of coastal hazards, prevent coastal pollution, and reduce conflicts among coastal users.
The 5th step of EAFM is Check and improve phase, what must be done on this phase?
monitor, evaluate and adapt the EAFM Plan based on the results of the evaluation.
The network of stakeholders that needs to be involved in EAFM is complex. Identify at least four possible stakeholders that are needed to implement an EAFM effectively.
Fishers(Fishers association), Government(National / regional/ provincial/ state/ municipal/ village), Fisheries stakeholders (boat owners, money lenders, recreational fishers), Compliance & enforcement(Navy, coast guard, police),
Coastal Stakeholders (tourism, ports, hotels, industry, scuba diving); External Agents (NGO's, academics & researchers)
In Task 4 which is to formalize an EAFM team and facilitators, the EAFM Team may include representatives of major stakeholders, such as? give at least 3?
Fisherfolk communities/organizations (or the FARMC)
Commercial fishers
Civil society organization working on fisheries issues
Business sector organizations (chamber of commerce, foundations)
Church, etc.
It is desirable to have a legislative or policy mandate to undertake an EAFM. what FAO number, series and section that states.... by 2020, all programs of the bureau shall be develop and implemented following the principles of EAFM.........
FAO no.164, Series of 2016, Section 1.
What are those benefits that will derived from planning and managing properly of our coastal resource? This was adapted from White and Cruz-Trinidad 1998)
Food Security, Economic Development, Shoreline Protection, and Biodiversity Conservation
