This paper articulates the partnership between the private sector represented by the Bataan Coastal Care Foundation Inc (BCCFI) and the public sector represented by the various local government units (LGUs) in the Province of Bataan. The partnership was initiated based on common objectives of these two (BCCFI and LGUs) likeminded institutions to build better coastal governance, increase awareness , promote community participation in coastal management and explore ways for dynamic and sustainable public-private partnerships in addressing climate changes . Since February 2000, BCCFI has actively led in partnering with its various stakeholders in the province‘s 11 municipalities and lone city to implement the Bataan Integrated Coastal Management Program (BICMP) with focus on the 87 coastal villages. As manifested in the socio-economic investment survey form that was accomplished by, among and between the BCCFI members in close collaboration with the local government units. Through varied approaches and entry points, BCCFI, serve as catalyst in protecting the environment in Bataan either individually or collectively, within their respective spheres of influence and capabilities. This is a case point that could be explored as one of the strategies and actions for ASIAN networking on coastal resource management in addressing climate changes.   Keywords - Addressing Climate Changes, private- public partnerships, environmental protection, coastal resource management, Biodiversity Programs

Villa Beach is one of the tourist destinations in Iloilo City because of its rich culture such as Paraw Regatta and seafood delicacies. However, coastal resource management (CRM) seemed to be neglected among the locals of the beach as evidenced by poor waste management beneath the shore. Thus, this study was conducted. Specifically, this study delved into the awareness and participation of locals on CRM when classified according to zonation. Furthermore, a significant difference in the awareness and participation and relationship was sought. This study was conducted in January 2015. The respondents of this survey were the locals of Villa Beach from Zones 1 to 3 taken through stratified random sampling. All tests were set at .05 level of significance. The results showed that locals had “high” awareness and they abide by the laws on CRM. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the level of awareness and participation on CRM in terms of zonation. Finally, there was a significant relationship in the awareness and participation of locals on the CRM. It is recommended that the locals and the local government should cooperate one another to manage the coastal resources of the beach from environmental degradation due to anthropogenic activities. The local government unit (LGU) should create a monitoring procedure in terms of the participation of the locals of Villa beach in coastal resource management.     Keywords- Coast, coastal resources, coastal resource management (CRM), Villa Beach, Iloilo City, Philippines

<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>
