Scoping (including areal extent of coastal and marine habitats) | X | | | No information available. |
Areal extent of damaged/degraded habitats | | | X | The total forestland of the Marinduque remains at 7,105 ha, which is subdivided into upland forest, mangrove forest, and mossy forest. This places Marinduque as the 3rd most denuded province in the country. It is also ranked as the 7th most geohazard-prone province. The decline of mangroves is mostly due the following reasons: (1) conversion of mangrove areas into fishponds; (2) cutting of mangrove stands for construction materials, firewood, and charcoal; and (3) encroachment or illegal settlement along and on mangrove areas.
The degradation of mangrove forests has resulted in the decline of wildlife biodiversity. Declines in fish and shellfish catch, a primary source of livelihood, have been experienced in the province. Coastal-dwellers have also been more exposed to strong winds, tidal waves, storm surges, and coastal erosion. |

Benefits (social, economic, ecological)
o Addressing/reducing CCA/DRR risks
o Harmonizing access to marine space by established economic sectors
o Assessing costs and benefits to clearly understand socio-economic and ecological trade-offs
o Extending governance principles to be more inclusive to weaker disadvantaged sector, addressing issues of tenure and use-based access rights
| | | X | Aside from its main goal of replanting in mangrove areas, the project also had sub-programs. These include IECs on the DBP Forest project, management trainings for FARMCs and barangays, and livelihood training for the communities. The project and its sub-programs were beneficial for the community. The community became more aware of the importance of mangrove forests, particularly their contribution to fish and shellfish production, farming, livelihood programs, and protection from natural disasters. Realizing the value of mangroves, the community has eventually reduced the cutting and illegal fishing in mangrove forests. |
