Before the adoption of the CBFM approach, the sole motivating factor of contract reforestation awardees was primarily financial gains. With the implementation of the Forestry Sector Project (FSP) using CBFM as its main strategy to rehabilitate the mangrove ecosystem, it empowered beneficiary communities economically, socially, technically and politically while transforming them into environmentally responsible managers. The tenurial right to develop subproject sites alongside the various inputs from the Subproject deepened their commitment to collaborate with other stakeholders in the implementation of these subprojects. The Capalonga Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject is within the proclaimed Mangrove Forest Reserve in Capalonga, Camarines Norte and covers six barangays: Alayao, Mataque, San Isidro, Poblacion, Camagsaan and Calabaca. Massive conversion of mangrove forests into fishponds and resettlement area; widespread cutting of mangrove species for fuel wood and charcoal production severely degraded the Mangrove Forest Reserve and thus had to be rehabilitated. Lapses in community organizing activities were compensated by those of the comprehensive site development with all of the targeted 933 hectares fully accomplished with a weighted average survival rate of 89%. The People’s Organization, Capalonga Mangrove Development Association, Inc. (CAMADA) has a track record for good performance with its project cited as the Best Mangrove Project for Luzon. Involvement in CSD activities created employment for 157 members of the organization as well as 31 who are non-members for a total of 148,990 man days while the Infrastructure Component provided jobs to some 120 persons from the six barangays equivalent to 9,480 man days. On the other hand, 126 members were employed in livelihood projects. Cumulative increase of income per annum of household for all six barangays for their involvement in CSD and other project activities went up from a total average of PHP111, 000.00 (before project implementation) to PHP175,000.00 or an increase of 58.01% during implementation. This positive development was translated into capability to acquire houses and lots, i motorboats, appliances and furniture and the capability to provide education to their children. In terms of infrastructure, six multi purpose drying yards, one for each barangay, were awarded to the PO to support their livelihood projects. Other benefits include a total of 24 trainings on various subjects ranging from improvement of management capabilities to technical ones such as crab fattening and seaweed production, post harvest as well as other vital trainings to empower the members like paralegal orientation, preparation of project proposals, among others. ii SUBPROJECT COMPLETION REPORT of CAPALONGA MANGROVE REHABILITATION SUBPROJECT Forestry Sector Project Loan Agreement No. PH-P 135 I. Subproject Description The Capalonga Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject site is within the proclaimed Mangrove Forest Reserve in Capalonga, Camarines Norte, located at 1417’19.68” to 1421’02” north latitude and 12224’23.28” to 12231’57.77” east longitude. It covers the mangrove dependent communities of Barangays Alayao, Mataque, San isidro, Poblacion, Camagsaan, and Calabaca. The six barangays are accessible through various means. Barangay Calabaca, the farthest and largest barangay is 12 kilometers away from the town proper and is accessible through a public utility jeep. Barangay Camagsaan can be reached through a 30-minute hike from Capalonga town proper using the 4-km feeder road. Barangay San Isidro on the other hand, is just a twenty minute-boat ride through Alayao bay while Barangay Mataque is located along the provincial road five kilometers from Barangay Poblacion. Presidential Proclamation No. 2152 issued on December 29, 1981 officially proclaimed the Capalonga Mangrove Forest Reserve. However, it continued its degradation due to massive conversion of mangroves into fishponds and resettlement area; indiscriminate cutting of mangrove species for fuel wood and charcoal making. This prompted the implementation of the Subproject to save and enrich the remaining mangrove resources within the area. 1. Purpose/Objectives A) Original (at the time of appraisal) The Subproject aims to develop the 933 hectares of mangrove swamp, tidal flats and denuded coralline areas in remote coastal barangays of 1 Alayao, Mataque, San Isidro, Poblacion, Camagsaan and Calabaca. Its specific objectives are the following: a. To rehabilitate and develop the 325 hectares mudflat and tidal flats through reforestation; b. To protect the remaining mangrove forest by strengthening and empowering the community through community organizing, training, and information and education programs; c. To develop and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities to the organized communities; d. To provide for a long-term sustainable development of the entire subproject area through an appropriate Community Based Forest Management Agreement or any other legal means. e. Modification Not applicable. 2. Subproject Scope and Dimension A. Comparison of Original and Actual Scope & Dimensions a.1.
