Answer:
Establishment of Marine Protected Areas is a very useful approach in conservation and fishery management. Despite the large areas of MPAs established all over Palawan, knowledge on the current status of many MPAs and their effects to the communities and the environment around them are limited. Here, the status of six MPAs, namely, Sabang Rasa, Seven Line, Johnson, Port Barton and Pambato, were assessed in terms of basic features of a functioning MPA. The data on biodiversity monitoring of the MPAs collected from the municipalities were not complete or files may have been lost. In general, the MPAs have not been able to meet their objectives on the protection of biodiversity and restoration of damaged habitats. Among the MPAs, only Rasa and Seven Line have annual budget allocation. The communities of Sabang, Rasa, Seven Line, and Pambato are involved in the monitoring and patrolling of illegal fishing activities but no monitoring is conducted in Port Barton and Johnson. Law enforcement was limited as only few bantay-dagat members were assigned to monitor and patrol the MPA. The managers reported that they are not fully focused on managing the MPA as they also have other priority tasks in their respective offices. The lack of funds, lack of capable focused managers, and lack of community involvement all together would cause the MPA to fail. Addressing these lapses head-on is critical for the success of the MPA. The results here will serve as baseline information to develop new strategies for improved and effective management of MPAs in the Philippines.
