Coastal Resource Management (CRM), Program, Implementation, Calbayog CityAbstract
This study assessed the implementation of the Coastal Resource Management Program of Calbayog City, Western Samar in order to obtain data and information as a basis for improving its effectiveness and efficiency in CRM program implementation. The study is a descriptive survey of the coastal resource management program in Calbayog City, Western Samar for the purpose of obtaining data as a basis for improvement of its implementation geared towards effective and efficient coastal resource management. As to the relationship between the extent of implementation of CRM along with the different areas of concern and the profile of commercial fisherfolks, the result of the correlation coefficient and Fisher’s t-value of 1.96 evaluated at 0.05 level of significance showed a significant relationship. The null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the extent of implementation of the CRM program and the profile of the commercial fisherfolks” was rejected. The production level in mariculture (seaweed and fish cage) is low compared to the regional average which could be attributed to the limited areas being utilized and the number of fisherfolk adopting the technology. Lower fish catch could also be attributed to extreme fishing pressure. In terms of CRM implementation, program implementers are more active in the area of fishery legislation and law enforcement and capability building which is evident in the evaluation described as “much implemented”. Other areas of concern like establishment of protected areas, alternative livelihood, research, resource regeneration and enhancement, and public education were”moderately implemented”. The problems identified relative to CRM program implementation were in the area of fishery legislation and law enforcement, research, and capability building justified for lack of adequate funding.
