- Abstract
- The MIMAROPA Region is an archipelagic region in the Philippines, composed 1,987 islands and islets. Its unique geographic provides advantages and disadvantages towards regional development. The region is facing isolation, limited resources, vulnerability to disasters and low economic activities. The low performance of fisheries sector of the region and the lack of strategic direction towards its management should be addressed in order to avoid a more serious problem in the future.
This study aims to develop a logical model for sustainable fisheries in the MIMAROPA Region. It capitalizes on the secondary data from different government institutions in the Philippines. It assessed the current state of the fisheries sector and provided discussions on blue growth and its components through review of related literature. The study also described the Indonesia’s blue growth strategy and drew ideas from them in developing the strategic framework for MIMAROPA.
The strategic model for sustainable fisheries complements with the vision stated under the Regional Development Plan, which is to have a competitive fisheries sector. The expected outcomes of the blue growth strategy are economic growth, poverty reduction, food security and sustainable livelihood.
The framework addresses the need to identify relationships within ecosystem and to determine policy options needed to protect and conserve the adaptive capacity of the ecosystem through an integrated coastal resources use and management plan for the region. The ICRUMP focuses on four major components namely: ecosystem-based approach, community participation, maritime spatial planning and disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
In general, the aim of the framework is to ensure the health of the ecosystem and achieve balance on development and protection of the environment for the new generation. The ocean has so many uses; the fishers should act as the stewards of the ocean while the government should provide necessary support and assistance to the stewards. If we can have a healthy fisheries ecosystem, the fisheries sector can be an engine towards socio-economic growth of the region.
