| Abstract: | In the Philippines, Coastal Resource Management (CRM) is a major devolved function of the local government units (LGU) as provided by Republic Act 7160. However, to date despite the many interventions, evidence shows that LGUs have not been able to come to terms with their mandate. One reason for this is the LGUs’ lack of capacity to provide the enabling mechanisms towards a successful CRM program. Moreover, the fragmented management scheme of coastal areas and the poor policies for effective institutional arrangements hampered the improvements in environmental conditions. In the Province of Aurora, four LGUs in Baler Bay started fisheries resources management by adopting a framework known as the Inter-LGU Fisheries Management Plan (ILFMP). The ILFMP requires an inter-LGU collaborative management approach to resource management, where conscious efforts were mobilized to develop means to introduce changes in the overall structure of the management of coastal resources of Baler Bay. |
