Challenges
1. Overfishing such as in the case of Camotes and Visayan Seas due to illegal fishing (e.g., cyanide, dynamite, muro ami ) 2.Degraded habitats such as mangroves and coastal reefs due to siltation from the uplands and industrial/domestic pollution

Interventions
1. Delineation of municipal waters 2. Fish sanctuaries in every coastal municipalities 3. Enforcement of fishery laws by LGUs 4. Massive mangrove planting/coral reefs rehabilitation 5. Community-based resource management and coastal protection 6. Integrated approach to watershed/ riverbasin & coastal management 7. Promoting upland agroforestry/agriculture

but transport costs may increase due to

Collection of regulatory fees/taxes/other fees legalized through municipal ordinances/ Sangguniang Bayan Resolution e.g., LGUs hosting Matnog Port in Sorsogon collect a P 3.00 regulatory fee from passengers as calamity fee - Taxing powers of LGUs in LGC should not cover goods carried in or out of, or passing through the LGUs Existence of cargo handling operators in RORO ports (e.g., Matnog Port) - RORO service does not involve cargo handling Double charging when port of destination is operated and ran by independent port authorities, e.g., Bacolod Real Estate Development Corporation Port

SRNH Challenges
Lack of facilities for travelers (e.g., signages, rest areas/stops, markers/signs) Need to establish additional RORO connections: -- Initao and Jasaan, Misamis Oriental to Loay, Bohol link -- Mandaon, Masbate to Roxas City, Capiz; -- Mandaon, Masbate to Dumaguit Port, Aklan -- Dumaguit Port, Aklan to Palompon, Leyte

SRNH Challenges
Need to improve Bato/Hilongos, Ubay and Bago Ports for Leyte-Cebu link and Bogo, Cebu to Placer, Masbate route for Cebu-Masbate link Need to fully utilize Tabaco Port (Albay) as gateway to the Pacific Promote more seamless travel through one-ticket system

Mining and Quarrying Issues in Central Philippines

Unsustainable practices of informal/small-scale mining operations Conflict arising from overlapping claims made by mining companies and indigenous communities Poor community acceptance of large scale mining operations due to environmental concerns and share in benefits Sand extraction in offshore areas resulting to environmental degradation

Interventions
Simplify procedures for processing LGUs share in excise taxes Rehabilitate mined-out areas in accordance with Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program and Post-mining Land Use Plan Enforce existing relevant laws and regulations such as the Philippine Mining Act and People s Small Mining Act Partnership between province and private sector thru a corporate vehicle
