National programs on mangrove biodiversity and conservation
2021
Meniado, A.P.
The DENR Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) implements coastal and marine programs that integrate strategies for mangrove ecosystems. The Coastal and Marine Ecosystems Management Program (CMEMP), which is being implemented until 2028, is anchored on integrated coastal management, partnership building, sustainable tourism and ecotourism, protection, management and law enforcement, communication, education and public awareness, and valuation of ecosystem services. Based on the Department's data, total mangrove area in the Philippines is 303,372.69 ha, with at least 103,533.84 ha found in protected areas. National policies and programs such as the E-NIPAS Act and its IRR, the Philippine Development Plan (PDP; 2017- 2022), and the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP; 2015-2028) focus on or include provisions that strengthen the management and conservation of coastal and marine resources in the country. Under PBSAP, a key target is that there be no net loss in the presence and area distribution of coral reef habitats including mangroves. Foreign-assisted projects further support the DENR's work on coastal marine ecosystems. Examples are the ProCoast ('Sustainable protection of coastal ecosystems and communities from the impacts of climate change') through GIZ, the SMARTSeas PH Project ('Strengthening Marine Protected Areas to Conserve the Marine Key Biodiversity Areas in the Philippines') through the United Nations Development Programme and Global Environment Facility, and the South China Sea Strategy and Action Plan Project, which is awaiting clearance from the Office of the President.
