  1. LESSONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONSININTEGRATED COASTAL MANAGEMENT Yves Henocque, PAP/RAC

  2. HOW WELL ARE WE DOING? FINDING 2 THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO ECOSYSTEMS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO SUBSTANTIAL NET GAINS IN HUMAN WELL-BEING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUT THESE GAINS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED AT GROWING COSTS IN THE FORM OF DEGRADATION OF MANY ECOSYSTEM SERVICES, INCREASED RISKS OF NONLINEAR CHANGES, AND EXACERBATION OF POVERTY FOR MANY PEOPLE. “Climate divide”

  3. FINDING 3 THE DEGRADATION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES COULD GROW SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THIS CENTURY THE MOST IMPORTANT DIRECT DRIVERS OF CHANGE IN ECOSYSTEMS TO BE CONSIDERED ALONE OR IN SYNERGY ARE: HABITAT CHANGE OVEREXPLOITATION INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES POLLUTION CLIMATE CHANGE

  4. FINDING 4 A CHALLENGE: REVERSE THE DEGRADATION OF ECOSYSTEMS WHILE MEETING INCREASING DEMANDS FOR THEIR SERVICES CAN BE PARTIALLY MET IF THEY ARE: SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN POLICIES, INSTITUTIONS, AND EXISTING MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CHANGES IN BEHAVIOUR

  5. Thau lagoon / Issue: Eutrophication, bacterial contamination

  6. RESPONSES • LAND-BASED POLLUTIONS MANAGEMENT • WATERSHED MANAGEMENT • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT • LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS MANAGEMENT • COMMUNITY-BASED COASTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT • COASTAL AND MARINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION • MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND NO-TAKE RESERVES • DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGY

  7. NO SINGLE STRATEGY BUT A COCKTAIL OF STRATEGIES TOWARDS New governance systems that respond to marine and coastal socio-ecosystem changes

  8. AIMING AT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INTEGRATED COASTAL GOVERNANCE (FOR MANAGEMENT) Adaptive management Plan, implement, assess, and re-do Integration and inter-relationships Linking for better coherence Ecosystem-based management Ecosystem services-Human well-being relationship

  9. Three key governance mechanisms MARKETS GOVERNMENT CIVIL SOCIETY ECONOMIC PRESSURES LEGAL/POLITICAL PRESSURES SOCIAL PRESSURES HUMAN USES OF ECOSYSTEMS

  10. ICM: IMPROVED COASTAL GOVERNANCE Government mechanism Market mechanism Civil society mechanism NGOs + VO Networks Province Governor Local Gov. Unit District Universities Research Centers NRM Committee Learning center Saving group Schools Strong Committed Local Governments Local Chief/LGU/Municipality Skilled Self-organized Communities Occupational/Conservation groups

  15. OBJECTIVES • Enhance the capacity of community organizations and • local governments • Link between scientific/technical institutions, community organisations and local governments • Implement innovative financing mechanisms and • partnership arrangements • Strengthen multi-stakeholder involvement in managing • coastal and marine resources • Enhance local coastal governance as well as • inter-agency and multi-sectoral coordination mechanism
