One of the management goals of the Verde Island Passage Marine Corridoris to increase the area and numbers of well managed Marine Protected Areas bythe year 2018. The establishment and maintenance of these MPAs are faced withissues on sustainability. The question on whether they create economic sense isanswered by looking into the generation of benefits that are at least equal tothe costs they incur. Employing the descriptive method of study, it assessed themangrove related ecotourism impacts inside the MPA of Quilitisan, CalataganBatangas. Secondary data came from the management of the Calatagan Mangrove Forest Conservation Park (CMFCP). The study revealed that compared to the estimated number of visitors in the nearby resorts, the park is still behind on thenumber of its visitors. Relying heavily on its revenue from entrance fees, servicesrentals and donations, its operation is not that sustainable as it lacks a fund formaintenance and site development. With the survey and FGDs conducted, itwas deduced that the ecotourism experience being offered by the CMFCP is satisfying to the visitors as reflected on their mean value of their WTP amountingto Php 150.00 which is higher than the current payment scheme. The value iscommensurate with the raise that the management plans to implement.Keywords: Marine Ecology, economic valuation, coastal resource management,willingness to pay, marine protected area, tourism impacts, ecotourism, Batangas,Philippines

The Impact

<p>Coastal Resource Management Program (CRMP), which has been created to teach people to rehabilitate and preserve coastal and marine resources, needs to be evaluated in terms of its stated and realized goals involving principal stakeholders.  Thus, this study assessed the impact of CRMP on the selected coastal municipalities of Davao del Sur. For the primary data, the researcher used descriptive design utilizing 5-point Likert-scaled survey questionnaires distributed to 581 respondents chosen randomly. The sources of secondary data were the local offices of the municipalities covered in the study. Employing paired t-test as statistical measure, findings revealed an uneven impact of CRMP on the coastal municipalities. Although the program increased the level of awareness of fisher folks on conservation and rehabilitation of marine habitat increased the mangrove areas managed and planted, established fish sanctuaries, and increased annual fish catch.  The program failed to increase budget allocation of Local Government Units (LGU) for coastal resource management.  Also, the CRMP intervention had no favorable impact on average fish catch per day per fisherman, and did not improve coral reef cover in the selected municipalities. Lastly, the CRMP intervention was not able to establish a favorable impact on alternative livelihood. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Coastal resource management, coastal municipalities, survey, LGUs, impact, Davao del Sur, Philippines.</p><div> </div>

Kawasan Kepulauan Seribu merupakan bagian dari wilayah Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta, terletak pada posisi geografis antara 106°25’-106°40’ BT dan 05°24’-05°45’ LS. Daerah perlindungan laut adalah daerah yang ditutup secara permanen di mana semua kegiatan penangkapan ikan dan kegiatan lain dilarang. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kondisi lingkungan di daerah tersebut pada bulan April dan Juli 2007. Pengamatan kondisi ekosistem terumbu karang dilakukan dengan metode transek garis (line intercept transect) sepanjang 50 m sejajar garis pantai dan pengamatan kondisi oseanografi lima stasiun pengamatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan kondisi oseanografi di daerah perlindungan laut Pulau Pramuka layak untuk kehidupan biota laut dengan konsentrasi oksigenterlarut berkisar antara 2,55-4,19 mg/L, salinitas berkisar antara 32-32,5o/oo, kecerahan berkisar antara 2-10 m, dan derajat keasaman (pH) berkisar antara 7,85-7,99. Kondisi kesehatan karang adalah sedang dan baik dengan persentase tutupan karang berkisar antara 30-75%. Seribu Islands region located at 106°25’-106°40’ E and 05°24’-05°45’ S which is a part of Jakarta Province. Marine protected area is a closed site permanently where extractive activity is prohibited, mainly fishing activity and the aim of this program is to conserve coastal resource. The aim of this research was to know environmental condition of Pramuka Island marine protected area at Seribu Islands. The research was done at marine protected area of Pramuka Island in April and July 2007. Monitoring of coral reef ecosystem was done with line intercept transect method along 50 m parallel with shore line and oceanography condition at 5 stations. The result of this research shown that oceanography condition at marine protected area of Pramuka Island was suitable for marine biota life with dissolved oxygen between 2.55-4.19 mg/L, salinity between 32-32.5o/oo, transparency between 2- 10 m, and pH between 7.5-7.99. Coral reef healthy condition is medium and good with percent covered between 30-75%.
