- 13. SDG14 Implementation Progress • Portion of Philippine Rise was proclaimed as a Marine Resource Reserve in 2018 • Philippine’s Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion and Philippine (Benham) Rise were identified as Ecologically and Biologically Significant Marine Areas (CBD) • Biodiversity to be monitored and baseline information on pH, carbonate and other water parameters will be determined. • Around 1.4% (covering 4.68 million hectares) of the country’s territorial waters is protected at present. • Advocate and support biodiversity-friendly enterprises for coastal communities within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
- 14. Key Challenges • Lack of baseline data on Marine Litter • Need for capacity building on monitoring and assessment of Marine Litter • Dispersed function on coastal and marine management resulting in unconsolidated efforts • Low priority on waste management infrastructure • Need for stricter enforcement of environmental laws • Lack of mechanisms to effect behavioural change
- 15. Measures to Address Challenges and Strengthen SDG 14 Implementation • Support scientific baseline data gathering • Conduct of in-country training on monitoring and assessment of marine litter • Strengthened inter-agency coordination on coastal and marine management • Create conducive climate on investment for waste management infrastructure • Engage multi-stakeholders/multipartite participation for more effective enforcement of environmental laws • Devise mechanisms/programs to encourage sustainable consumption patterns

- 17. Archipelago between Philippine Sea and South China Sea Coastline span 36,289 km, composed of 7,107 islands The 3rd largest contributor of marine plastic pollutions 0.28-0.75M tons/year The Manila bay clean-up conducted in 2014, revealed that 1,594 liters of waste collected, majority 61.9% were plastic. The closure and rehabilitation of Boracay Island for six months (April 26 – October 26, 2018) -is one of the latest example of marine and coastal pollution due to tourism and haphazard coastal development.
Editor's Notes
- SDG 14: Life Below Water aims to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems from pollution, as well as address the impacts of ocean acidification. Enhancing conservation and the sustainable use of ocean-based resources through international law will also help mitigate some of the challenges facing our oceans. In the context of the Philippines, an archipelagic country, there is surprisingly no department dedicated to fisheries – only the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and National Fisheries Research and Development Institute under the Department of Agriculture. While marine protected areas increased to more than 1,800 designated areas by 2014, it is not clear whether this meets the 10% of MPAs that target 14.5.1 seeks to achieve. Also, the FAO reports that the country signed international agreements on the compliance of fishing vessels and measures to prevent IUU fishing in 2018, however there has not been enough transparency on these indicators to indicator how successful these efforts has been in the protection of marine life.
- Marine conservation is one of the country’s relative strengths. According to recent data, about 220 million of marine areas are protected in the entire country. Meanwhile, the coverage of protected areas in relation to marine areas, National Integrated Protected Areas System and locally managed Marine Protected Areas is 0.0064
- Ghana -152.13 million plastic item per square kilometer (2020) Philippines – 4.23 (2018) The confluence of a growing population, rising incomes and consumption, inadequate infrastructure, and weak regulations combine to put the Philippines high on the list of nations with major waste leakage and plastic pollution problems.
- This indicator measures the proportion of global fish stocks which are overexploited, fully exploited and not fully exploited. Sustainable levels of fish stocks are those which are underexploited or fully exploited. Overexploited fish stocks are unsustainable. A fish stock with abundance equal to or above the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is classified as biologically sustainable. When abundance falls below the MSY level, the stock is considered biologically unsustainable.
- Particular marine areas — specifically those of special scientific interest and high biodiversity — are often reserved and protected within national and international law. This indicator measures the share of territorial waters which are reserved for this protection.
- Presidential Decree No. 979 otherwise known as the Marine Pollution Decree of 1976 -National policy , the prevention and control of the pollution of seas by waste dumping
- 1. Not having enough information about Marine Liter 2. There needs to be more training on how to track and evaluate marine litter. 3. Coastal and marine management functions are spread out, which makes it hard to keep track of everything. 4. Infrastructure for waste management doesn't get much attention 5. Environmental laws need to be enforced more strictly 6. Lack of ways to change people's behavior
- 1. Support collecting scientific baseline data 2. Training on monitoring and assessing marine litter will be given in each country. 3. Coastal and marine management coordination between agencies has been improved. 4. Make it easy for businesses to invest in waste management infrastructure. 5. Use multi-stakeholder/multipartite participation to enforce environmental laws better.
- Reason for closure: Violations of building and sewerage regulations by business establishments, deteriorating environmental conditions
