1/3

To identify CFRM Issues, Problems, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats

A. Coastal condition or analysis of situation (Where we are Now?) is anchored on the various elements inCFRM ecological profile that includes:

1. Demographic characteristics2. Bio-physical characteristics3. State of the Environment and Natural Resources4. Socio-economic conditions5. Governance and Institutional Framework6. Existing Coastal Land and Water Use

B. Gaps or Problem identification is identified by comparing the current situation with where we want tobe that is defined by the vision elements and its descriptors. Based on the ICM concept the ideal CRMvision has these elements:

A. Sustainable Development1. Natural and Man-made Hazard Prevention and Management2. Habitat Protection, Restoration and Management3. Water Use and Supply Management4. Food Security and Livelihood Management5. Pollution Reduction and Waste Management

B. Governance Capacity1. Policy, Strategies and Plans2. Institutional Arrangements3. Legislation4. Information and Public Awareness5. Financing Mechanism6. Capacity Development

Cross cutting themes to be considered for the CFRM inter- elemental analysis are gender equity andclimate change

Issues, gaps or problems for each element/descriptor are results of an interplay of the characteristics andconditions described under the various elements in the CFRM ecological profile which hindered theattainment of the desired development result.

EXAMPLE:

The state of being where Bago City would like its coastal and fishery situation to be:Bago City CFRM vision:"A progressive Bago City characterized by abundant coastal resources for food sufficiency with asupportive local government in partnership with participative stakeholders working for the bettermentof the future generation"

6. Demographic characteristic

- Very sparse mangrove saplingsand seedlings available

SWOT maybe taken from variousconsultations and PCRA resultsStrengths:- LGU declaration of ____ ha. for

mangrove reforestation- ___ Ha. suitable for mangrove- A healthy and diverse mangrove

area in Brgy. _____

Weaknesses:- Absence of designated fishing

boat landing and navigationalroute

- Absence of community-basedwatch group against illegal cuttingof mangroves

- Womens access to fisheryresources and productive work isconcentrated in gleaning along themangrove area

Opportunities- DENRs trust towards

mangrove reforestation- Academe and Civic

Organizations are interested inmangrove reforestation

- Available BFAR technology forsustainable fish production inmangrove areas

Threats:- Frequent tidal and typhoon

surgesIncreasing investors to convertmangrove to fishponds

- Barnacle infestation ofmangroves

- More households are usingmangrove for firewood
