SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES The primary sources of income in the coastal areas are as follows: 
-Fishing 
-Aquaculture - Mariculture, Oyster Farming, Sea Garden (Seaweeds, Sea Urchins & Sea Cucumbers) 
-Boat and Net Making 
-Eco-Tourism SOCIAL PROBLEMS -fast growing population -poor health and sanitation -poor housing structure -excessive extraction of resources
THREATS TO THE COAST 
1.Conversion of mangrove into fish-ponds and salt-beds 
2.Reclamation of mangrove areas into warehouses, piers and houses 
3.Pollution and siltation 
4.Construction of dikes that hinders the flow of water 
5.Tidal inundation 
6.Over exploitation / Utilization 
7.Pests / Diseases like barnacles and tiny beetles 
8.Typhoons caused flooding and coastal erosion 
9.Adverse effects of Climate Change

IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES 
•Mangroves serve as nursery grounds of fishes, shrimps, crabs, and help in the production of fishes. 
•It produces a leaf litter as a source of food of fishes and other aquatic animals at entuaries in coastal waters. It protects our coastal areas from any typhoon and storm surges due to the crown and trunks which breaks the impact of strong winds and excessive flow of water It produces organic biomass (carbon) and decreases organic pollution It serves as a habitat for local and migratory birds Source of woods and nipa shingles needed for the construction of the house; a. firewood, charcoal b. fish, crustaceans and mollusks could be harvested c. for tannin, alcohol and medicine
ECONOMIC VALUE OF MANGROVES 
People earn income from mangrove, wood, fish, prawns, crabs, 
shellfish, etc..
Source: Municipal Fishery Profile
Mangrove protected areas in the province is under the National Greening Program spearheaded by the DENR. Three (3) years ago, the province entered into a Memorandum of Agreement between the PGLU, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Local Chief Executives within the coastal areas to replant the identified areas suitable for the growth of mangrove. Different fisher-folk associations manage and monitor the mangrove areas.
Mangrove areas declined at about 20% of the total areas due to: - conversion into fishponds and housing 
-Total cutting for fuel-wood purposes and charcoal making 
-Natural death due to siltation and infected by pests and barnacles So the decline of areas, fish and other aquatic animals was reduced by 8%. Fishing costs increased since fisher-folks travel within 15 kms just to set their fishing paraphernalias. It also affects the environment because of strong waves which resulted to soil erosion, sedimentation and siltation This will be addressed by giving full awareness of the community on the importance of mangroves in marine water thru IEC, protection and rehabilitation of mangrove areas thru the implementation of natural reserves and sanctuaries
MANGROVE REHABILITATION 
At present, thru the implementation of the MOA signed by the 
Provincial Governor, concerned LGU’s and BFAR, La Union has 
targeted 650,000 propagules to be planted in identified areas. This is an 
alternative livelihood for the fisherfolks since they were being paid 
Php 2.00 in every propagule they plant and after a year, they will be 
again receiving additional Php 2.50/ survived propagule. The Philippine 
Natural Aquasilvi Programs established projects on crab fattening, fish 
(tilapia, Bangus, Malaga) culture within the mangrove areas. The 
fisherfolk associations were given a hatchery /nursery building with 
complete equipments for the sustainable supply of crablets
MONITORING AND EVALUATION 
Monitoring and evaluation was delegated to the 
fisherfolk associations and the Barangay Councils thru the 
Memorandum of Agreement signed by both parties to 
protect the planted mangrove propagules to attain its 
100% survival. The overall stand of mangrove is generally 
fair considering its promising contribution and 
expansion area
Planted Mangrove species include : Rhizophora Mucronata - Bakawan Babae Rhizophora Apiculata - Bakawan Lalake Rhizophora Stiploza - Bakawan Bato Avicennia Marina - Bungalon Promotional and advocacy activities undertaken: February - World Water Day / Philippine Water Day April - Earth Day May - Ocean Month June - Arbor and Environment Month September - International Coastal Clean-up October - Fish Conservation Week
Impacts of Mangrove Rehabilitation 
Mangroves are regarded as buffer zone, 
protecting environment especially coastal 
areas and communities from storm surges, 
waves, tidal currents and typhoons. Mangrove 
roots traps all sediments washed down from 
upland areas keeping it from burying coral 
reefs and seagrass beds.
Summary and Recommendation 
The Provincial Government of La Union with other National 
Agencies like the DENR, BFAR, DMMMSU and LGU conceptualized an 
Integrated Coastal Management Plan in which one of the priority activities 
/ program is Mangrove Rehabilitation and Management. 
Other lined- up activities: 
-Strengthening of PO’s (People’s Organization) for the full 
management of the mangrove areas 
-Establishment of plantation areas to sustain its survival 
-Continuous conduct of advocacy campaign thru the PPA 
-Trainings / IEC activities 
-Mangrove areas coupled with R.A. 9003 (Solid Waste) 
-Tie-up with the efforts and initiatives of ECOFISH thru the Ecosystem Approach 
to Fisheries Management

  • 5. SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES The primary sources of income in the coastal areas are as follows: -Fishing -Aquaculture - Mariculture, Oyster Farming, Sea Garden (Seaweeds, Sea Urchins & Sea Cucumbers) -Boat and Net Making -Eco-Tourism SOCIAL PROBLEMS -fast growing population -poor health and sanitation -poor housing structure -excessive extraction of resources
  • 6. THREATS TO THE COAST 1.Conversion of mangrove into fish-ponds and salt-beds 2.Reclamation of mangrove areas into warehouses, piers and houses 3.Pollution and siltation 4.Construction of dikes that hinders the flow of water 5.Tidal inundation 6.Over exploitation / Utilization 7.Pests / Diseases like barnacles and tiny beetles 8.Typhoons caused flooding and coastal erosion 9.Adverse effects of Climate Change
  • 7. STATUS OF MANGROVES AREA OF MANGROVES – 78.84 HAS. (OLD STAND) POTENTIAL AREAS – 162.6 HAS. NEWLY PLANTED ( 3 YEARS AGO) YEAR MANGROVE PLANTED AREA (HAS.) 2011 97,000 PROPAGULES 4 MUNICIPALITIES, 9 COASTAL BARANGAYS 23.28 HA 2012 11,000 PROPAGULES 9 MUNICIPALITIES, 14 COASTAL BARANGAYS 26.66HA 2013 153,350 PROPAGULES 8 MUNICIPALITIES, 14 COASTAL BARANGAYS 36.51 HA TOTAL NUMBER OF PLANTED PROPAGULES: 261,350 AREA COVERED: 86.45 HAS.
  • 8. IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES •Mangroves serve as nursery grounds of fishes, shrimps, crabs, and help in the production of fishes. •It produces a leaf litter as a source of food of fishes and other aquatic animals at entuaries in coastal waters. It protects our coastal areas from any typhoon and storm surges due to the crown and trunks which breaks the impact of strong winds and excessive flow of water It produces organic biomass (carbon) and decreases organic pollution It serves as a habitat for local and migratory birds Source of woods and nipa shingles needed for the construction of the house; a. firewood, charcoal b. fish, crustaceans and mollusks could be harvested c. for tannin, alcohol and medicine
  • 9. ECONOMIC VALUE OF MANGROVES People earn income from mangrove, wood, fish, prawns, crabs, shellfish, etc..
  • 11. Mangrove protected areas in the province is under the National Greening Program spearheaded by the DENR. Three (3) years ago, the province entered into a Memorandum of Agreement between the PGLU, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Local Chief Executives within the coastal areas to replant the identified areas suitable for the growth of mangrove. Different fisher-folk associations manage and monitor the mangrove areas.
  • 12. Mangrove areas declined at about 20% of the total areas due to: - conversion into fishponds and housing -Total cutting for fuel-wood purposes and charcoal making -Natural death due to siltation and infected by pests and barnacles So the decline of areas, fish and other aquatic animals was reduced by 8%. Fishing costs increased since fisher-folks travel within 15 kms just to set their fishing paraphernalias. It also affects the environment because of strong waves which resulted to soil erosion, sedimentation and siltation This will be addressed by giving full awareness of the community on the importance of mangroves in marine water thru IEC, protection and rehabilitation of mangrove areas thru the implementation of natural reserves and sanctuaries
  • 13. MANGROVE REHABILITATION At present, thru the implementation of the MOA signed by the Provincial Governor, concerned LGU’s and BFAR, La Union has targeted 650,000 propagules to be planted in identified areas. This is an alternative livelihood for the fisherfolks since they were being paid Php 2.00 in every propagule they plant and after a year, they will be again receiving additional Php 2.50/ survived propagule. The Philippine Natural Aquasilvi Programs established projects on crab fattening, fish (tilapia, Bangus, Malaga) culture within the mangrove areas. The fisherfolk associations were given a hatchery /nursery building with complete equipments for the sustainable supply of crablets
  • 14. MONITORING AND EVALUATION Monitoring and evaluation was delegated to the fisherfolk associations and the Barangay Councils thru the Memorandum of Agreement signed by both parties to protect the planted mangrove propagules to attain its 100% survival. The overall stand of mangrove is generally fair considering its promising contribution and expansion area
  • 15. Planted Mangrove species include : Rhizophora Mucronata - Bakawan Babae Rhizophora Apiculata - Bakawan Lalake Rhizophora Stiploza - Bakawan Bato Avicennia Marina - Bungalon Promotional and advocacy activities undertaken: February - World Water Day / Philippine Water Day April - Earth Day May - Ocean Month June - Arbor and Environment Month September - International Coastal Clean-up October - Fish Conservation Week
  • 16. Impacts of Mangrove Rehabilitation Mangroves are regarded as buffer zone, protecting environment especially coastal areas and communities from storm surges, waves, tidal currents and typhoons. Mangrove roots traps all sediments washed down from upland areas keeping it from burying coral reefs and seagrass beds.
  • 17. Summary and Recommendation The Provincial Government of La Union with other National Agencies like the DENR, BFAR, DMMMSU and LGU conceptualized an Integrated Coastal Management Plan in which one of the priority activities / program is Mangrove Rehabilitation and Management. Other lined- up activities: -Strengthening of PO’s (People’s Organization) for the full management of the mangrove areas -Establishment of plantation areas to sustain its survival -Continuous conduct of advocacy campaign thru the PPA -Trainings / IEC activities -Mangrove areas coupled with R.A. 9003 (Solid Waste) -Tie-up with the efforts and initiatives of ECOFISH thru the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management
