What is the “foreshore”?
Foreshore Development and 7

Management Plan
a string of land margining a body
of water; the part of a seashore
between the low-waterline
usually at the seaward margin of
a low tide terrace and the upper
limit of wave wash at high tide
usually marked by a beach scarp
or berm. (Section 4 [48] of Republic Act
No. 8550 The Philippine Fisheries
Code of 1998)
part of the shore, which is

Foreshore Land alternately covered
and uncovered by the ebb and
flow of the tide.
(DENR Administrative Order No. 2004-24,

Common Challenges
in Foreshore Area
Management
Classification 1
Access 2
Resource Use 3
Public Safety 4
Riparian rights 5
Shoreline Management 6

Management Plan
1. Classification
due to the grey areas in
the law caused by
inadequacy of land
classification categories
e.g.
• Cliff edge
• coastal roads/highways
built close to the edge of
the shore
• Irregular patches of
mangroves and empty
foreshore

Management Plan
2. Access
problems of coastal
structures impeding
public access to or within
the foreshore
e.g.
• Illegal structures along
the coast
(encroachment)
• beach “privatization”
• no/narrow access to
foreshore

Management Plan
3. Resource Use
problems on account of
improper exploitation of
material resources in the
foreshore
e.g. Sand quarrying,

Diminishing mangrove
resources due to mangrove
cutting

Management Plan
4. Public Safety
problems created by
natural coastal processes
impacting on coastal
uses
• Privately-owned structures
such as seawalls,
revetments, jetties,
causeway bays that
accelerate coastal erosion
that magnify the effect of
storm surge, tsunami
• Solid waste collected along
silted estuaries that impede
flow of rainwater causing
flood Foreshore Development and 17
Management Plan
5. Riparian Rights
Regulation of the
activities of the adjacent
or riparian owners
e.g. gain possession/control
of the area adjacent to their
property

Management Plan
6. Shoreline Management
unauthorized and
improper shoreline
management measures
being undertaken by
private persons
• Lack of awareness on
foreshore laws, roles of
agencies/parties involved
• foreshore “privatization”
• Private reclamation

Management Plan
The reimbursement of any costs, or part thereof, to LGU-MDDRMO

associated with addressing a safety issue resulting from an
encroachment may be sought from the perpetrator of the
encroachment. A register of all encroachment sites has been developed
and will be regularly updated through the MDRRMO. This will assist in
prioritizing, planning and budgeting for future works as well as
providing a reporting tool for MDRRMO. To assist in the prioritization of
encroachments affecting foreshore areas, the development of a
Prioritization Matrix through MDRRMO will be in place.

Management Plan
Protect Natural Areas Foreshore Erosion
• Energetic wave conditions — often associated with quite dramatic loss on beaches
during single storm events.
• Increased mean water level — causes an upwards migration of the active hydraulic zone.
• Decreased mean water level — causes a downwards migration of the active hydraulic
zone.
• Vegetation loss — tends to provide a bank that is less resistant to hydraulic action.
• Sediment sink/sources — locations experience net erosion or accretion where there is an
imbalance of sediment transport.
• Sediment deficit — change that alters the prevailing sediment transport conditions, removing
a quantity of sediment from active forces before normal transport patterns return.

Management Plan
Protect Natural Areas Foreshore Erosion
• Strong currents — located principally where there are restrictions in cross-sectional area.
• Seasonality — the intensity of prevailing conditions and their persistence may affect the net
sediment transport rate.
• Drainage structures — erosion associated with drainage outfalls may extend beyond the
immediate vicinity of the flow path.
• Flow over banks — erosion, often gully erosion, associated with water flowing directly over
the banks due to overtopped water draining or as a result of storm water runoff.
• Sedimentation — decreases the channel cross-sectional area, thereby increasing the potential
for channel planform migration and inundation through flooding.
• Trampling — loss of vegetation and sediment can occur due to uncontrolled access, worm
digging, boat launching and animal trampling.
Management Plan
Protect Natural Areas Inundation
Foreshore
inundation
occurs when
water levels and
waves are high
enough to flood
normally dry
land. This can
impact on
foreshore
vegetation or
structures and
curtails amenity.
In the estuarine summation of tides, surges and wave excursion over land.

inundation level of the surface over which waves run. In the fluvial reaches, the inundation

Management Plan
Developing Waterfront 4. Create a Shared Community Vision
Unlike a master plan, a community visioning process does not lock a project
into a prescribed solution. It is a citizen-driven initiative that outlines a set of
goals--ideals to strive for--that set the stage for people to think boldly, make
breakthroughs, and achieve new possibilities for their waterfront.
Because a vision is adaptable and can be implemented gradually, starting with

small experiments, it often becomes more powerful through time as public
enthusiasm for making bold changes gains support.
