Over the past two decades, the establishment and maintenance of marine protected areas (MPAs) have become a popular fishery and coastal management technique in the Philippines. There may be well over 600 established MPAs in the Philippines with only 18% of them functional. These are mostly community-based MPAs whose management and enforcement are often threatened by conflicting socio-economic and political forces. In 1999, around 150 community-based MPA managers representing about 87 MPAs in the Philippines formed a national alliance called PAMANA Ka Sa Pilipinas, Inc. PAMANA was made possible through the organizing efforts of Haribon Foundation. The basic aim of PAMANA was to strengthen the national network of MPAs through capacity building, participatory research, and policy advocacy. This goal is based on the conviction that a strong national network of MPAs can lead to the development of effectively managed marine sanctuaries. At present, PAMANA is active in creating a more conducive policy environment for fishery, MPA management, and coastal management. It is also active in organizing and networking activities with other organizations. Also PAMANA conducts participatory research and training including participatory marine sanctuary monitoring
