1. Philippine MPA Database •  Overview of the Philippine MPA Database •  Status of MPAs and MPA Management Effectiveness in the Philippines BALINGIT, Adrian Chester M Marine Science Institute / MPA Support Network MPA, Coral Reef and Fish Database Workshop (16 July 2015)
2. Introduction •  Data  used  in  this  presenta.on  are  available   in  the  online  MPA  database •  Data  obtained  from  14 July 2015   http://mpa.msi.upd.edu.ph/
3. MPA Database: Overview •  Database currently lists 1801 MPAs in the Philippines MPA data obtained through various agencies, partners, and key persons.
4. MPA Database: Overview
5. MPA Database: Overview Basic information available per MPA entry.
6. MPA Database: Overview Authorized users may create/update MPA info.
7. MPA Database: Overview MPA info. create/update restriction based on designated location (barangay/municipality/province)
8. MPAs in the Philippines 765 MPAs (42.5% of current record) were established from 2000 to 2010
9. MPA Database: Overview Less MPAs (273) were established over the last decade. (713 in 1995-2005) Recent established MPAs favor larger (>10 ha) area
10. MPAs in the Philippines 63 of 66 coastal/island provinces have at least one recorded MPA No Record •  Lanao Del Sur •  Pampanga •  Sulu
11. MPAs in the Philippines By MPA Count •  Bohol (244) •  Cebu (149) •  Leyte (97) •  Palawan (83) •  Batangas (72) By Total Area •  Palawan (546,288 ha; ~39% ) •  Tawi Tawi (250,904 ha; ~18%) •  Batanes (193,403 ha) •  Surigao del Norte (90,518 ha) •  Isabela (71,651 ha) 1,068 MPAs (59.3 %) have total area of less than 100 hectares.
12. MPAs in the Philippines 83,049.49 ha (8.05%) were established from 2000 to 2010 Turtle Islands Wildlife Sanctuary (1999; 242,648 ha) Tubbataha Reef National Park (1988; 446,539 ha) Batanes Protected Landscape and Seascape (1992; 193,254 ha)
13. MEAT Evaluations: Overview Online MEAT Form: http://mpa.msi.upd.edu.ph/meat •  Self-assessment tool to determine MPA management effectiveness. •  Scoring based on weighted importance of different management focus.
14. MEAT Evaluations: Overview •  Management Plan •  Management Body •  Legal Instrument •  Community Participation •  Financing •  I.E.C. •  Enforcement •  Monitoring and Evaluation •  Site Development Each question falls under the 9 Management Focus categories
15. MEAT Evaluations: Submission Upload for supporting documents Evaluator remarks per question
16. MEAT Evaluation: Submissions Database contains 575 MEAT form submissions from 461 MPAs.
17. MEAT Evaluations: Scoring Most of MEAT evaluations received satisfy the minimum score requirement for Levels 3 and 4 … Score > 63: 145 (32 %) Score > 47: 284 (61 %) Half of the MPAs score at least 53 pts
18. MEAT Evaluations: Levels … but most of the MPAs are evaluated as Level 0 or 1. Level 3: 59 (13 %) Level 4: 13 (2.8 %) Average MPA management level is 1.1006
19. MEAT Evaluations
20. MEAT Evaluations •  MPAs are evaluated to have high management score, but fail to satisfy important management aspect. –  e.g. (left, from 2013) MPA failed to adopt their drafted management plan (Level 1 threshold question)
21. MEAT Evaluations Counts indicate the number of management parameters not satisfied, preventing the MPA to reach the next effectiveness level
22. MEAT Evaluations •  0 to 1: Legal instrument not approved (184 MPAs) •  1 to 2: Violations not properly documented (41 MPAs) •  2 to 3: Insufficient/ inaccessible funds for the last 2 years (78 MPAs) •  3 to 4: Management plan not incorporated to a broader development plan (47 MPAs) •  Legal instrument not approved (184 MPAs) •  Baseline assessment not conducted (178 MPAs) •  Budget (at least 1 year) not allocated (155 MPAs)

MEAT Evaluations MPA MEAT Evaluation San Juan - Macatel MPA Report Completed: Jan. 17, 2013 Download at: http://mpa.msi.upd.edu.ph/mpa/eval/270/pdf MPA Rating - Level 1 Score: 60/84 (Very Good) MPA Information Short Name: San Juan - Macatel Year Established: 1999 Legislation: Ordinance No. 14 s.1999 MPA Area (ha): 402.1 Location • San Juan, Santa Praxedes, Cagayan • Macatel, Santa Praxedes, Cagayan Database URL: http://mpa.msi.upd.edu.ph/mpa/lmpa/1865 Evaluator(s) Ofelia I. Ragsac - LGU-Sta. Praxedes menro.mo_sta.prax@yahoo.com / 09262649884 MPA Contact Persons No information available The 48 questions of the MPA MEAT can be grouped into nine (9) Management Foci, corresponding to the axes of the spider chart. The chart can show which areas of management the MPA management body is strong at and which ones need significant improvement. Management Focus Score Percentage Management Plan ............... 9/9 100% Management Body ............... 7/11 63.6% Legal Instrument ............... 5/5 100% Community Participation ............... 2/2 100% Financing ............... 9/12 75% Information, Education, and Communication ............... 7/7 100% Enforcement ............... 9/20 45% Monitoring and Evaluation ............... 12/16 75% Site Development ............... 0/2 0% Thresholds Achieved thresholds Requirements for next level Other thresholds to attain 1. Baseline assessment conducted 2. Management plan adopted 3. Legal instrument approved 4. Management body formed and roles clarified 5. Budget allocated for at least one year 6. Patrolling and surveillance conducted regularly 7. Violations documented 8. Funds generated or accessed for last 2 years 9. Regular participatory monitoring conducted 10.
