INTRODUCTION

Coastal communities are considered one of the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change being exposed to climate variability such as storm surges due to more frequent intensified typhoons; and coastal inundation due to sea level rise, coastal erosion and increase in precipitation.

The municipalities in Batangas are not spared from these climate change threats being the frontier of the Passage to the West Philippine Sea and having 15 out of its 31 municipalities located along the coastlines of West Philippine Sea, Pagapas Bay , and Bay.

The Climate Change Adaptation Planning Workshop has determined the adaptation framework that will guide the municipalities in climate proofing their municipal development plans. One of the most effective climate change adaptation option is to have a continuous and wider the mangrove belt in the coastlines of Batangas province to buffer coastal communities against effects of climate change (storm surges, inundation, erosion). This, not to mention the established ecological and economic values of mangroves for the benefit of the coastal communities in terms of fisheries and tourism, becomes the basis for this Comprehensive Mangrove Development Plan for the province of Batangas.

OBJECTIVES

This Comprehensive Mangrove Development Plan aims to ensure a healthy and productive mangrove forest in appropriate areas within the Batangas coasts. Specifically, it aims to: 1) Provide a platform of cooperation between and among the key players/actors in mangrove development and management in the province 2) Provide an agreed guideline in mangrove development and management that will be adopted by all stakeholders respecting the natural ecosystem of mangroves. 3) Provide a common higher goal where every stakeholder will be able to harmonize and complement with each other to contribute to this common goal.

Biophysical and Socio-economic Setting

The province of Batangas is located along the southwestern edge of the island of in the Philippines (13⁰50’N 121⁰00’E). It is part of the Region 4A bordered by the provinces of in the north and and in the east. The province faces the West Philippine Sea while it faces the in the south. The province has a total land area of approximately 316,581 hectares and coastline of 366 kilometers. The total municipal waters (excluding Taal ) of Batangas is around 700,000 ha. About 16% of the total population of the province lives in 14 (45%) out of 31 municipalities of the province.

Built-up areas such as human settlements are increasing particularly in the coastal areas. In 2000, the population density in Batangas Bay is 7.1 persons per hectare, 5.5 persons per hectare in Balayan Bay and 4.7 persons per hectare in Tayabas. From 1998 to 2002, industrial and commercial establishments in the three bay regions increased by 36%, most of these are located in Batangas Bay.

Port development, both for local and international vessels in Batangas Bay has taken significant development which led to more intensified navigation and port related activities. From 1998 to 2002, shipping traffic increase by 12%, cargo traffic by 20% and passenger traffic by 47%.

There are three (3) major bays in the province of Batangas, namely: Batangas Bay, Balayan and adjacent Bays, and Tayabas and adjacent Bays. The distinctiveness of each of the bay provides a rationale for coming up with bay-wide SEMP for these bays. The SEMP encompasses at least four components namely: 1) institutional mechanism and integrated management systems and technical interventions; 2) waste management –solid waste, industrial wastes and agricultural wastes; 3) habitat restoration and management; and 4) fisheries protection and management.

Balayan Bay • Fishing • Tourism • Agriculture • Recreation • Biodiversity refuge • Protected area

Batangas Bay • Industrial • Commercial • Navigation/ port activities • Biodiversity conservation

Tayabas Bay • Fishing • Tourism • Agriculture • Protected area • Biodiversity refuge

Another major water body in the province is which is a freshwater body linked to Balayan Bay through . This river is the spawning route of a popular and expensive fish called maliputo (Caranx sp.). Taal lake has an area of approximately 23,900 hectares with a lakeshore circumference of about 267 km. Within the lake is a volcano island with an area of around 2,400 ha. The average depth of Taal Lake is 60 meters (deepest: ~ 200 m). Mangrove Areas in the Province

Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes where they develop adaptation mechanisms in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong winds, high temperature and muddy, anaerobic soils (Kathiresan and Bingham 2001). They have developed adaptation mechanisms to conditions in waterlogged areas with low oxygen, highly toxic sediments, high temperature and salinity and low in nutrients by having adventitious/stilt roots, pneumatophores, salt ducts (to exclude salts), vivipary propagules and seedling production.

They play a very important role in adapting to ancillary impacts of climate change such as coastal erosion brought about by sea level rise, increase precipitation and increase storminess. In terms of its contribution to fisheries productivity, mangrove forest provides nursery grounds, shelter and food for fish and other sea organisms (Primavera 1995). One hectare of mangrove forest yields 283.5 metric tons of fish per year (Spalding, M.D., Blasco, F. and Field, C.D., eds. 1997).

Based on the mangrove mapping done with the existing satellite images of CIP, there are about 1,365 hectares of mangroves in Batangas which are mostly found in the municipality of Calatagan which accounts for almost half of the mangrove areas in the province. The municipalities of San Juan and Nasugbu have large mangrove areas with 276.97 and 256.54 hectares respectively. The municipality of Taal which has only one coastal barangay facing the Balayan Bay has the lowest mangrove area with only 1.50 hectares only.

Although several of the classified mangrove areas were in the municipality of Calatagan, most conversion of mangroves to fishponds by 2010 was also identified in this same municipality. Aside from increase in the ‘fishpond’ class, another very noticeable difference between the two classifications was in the built- up areas, particularly in Batangas City. In fact, the combined fishpond areas (‘fishpond’ + ‘dry fishpond’ + ‘vegetated fishpond’) experienced net decline for the entire province, but the built-up areas increased by about 100 hectares within the mask areas only. This does not include yet the areas, which are not adjacent to mangroves or fishponds, which most likely had an even greater degree of urbanization. The state of mangroves in this province was positive, however, increasing by 119 hectares from 1990 to 2010. This may be attributed to mangrove reforestation activities in the municipalities of San Juan, Calatagan, Lemery and Lobo.

The mangrove-fishpond change for Batangas was similar to that of the VIP, with more areas of mangrove-to-fishpond change than fishpond-to-mangrove change. The ratio of mangrove-to-fishpond change, however, was lower at 1.2 compared to VIP’s change ratio of 2.0. A total of 1,050 hectares were excluded from the Batangas change computations and mapping. Mangrove Development Plan This comprehensive mangrove development plan for the province of Batangays is formulated to guide the managers, key players and stakeholders in mangrove development in the province.

Mangrove Development Guidelines The principles of mangrove development needs to be upheld in the province, hence the following are the guidelines that need to be followed by all mangrove development players in the province. (Adopted from the DENR Memorandum based on the Call to Action of the Philippine Association of Marine Science (PAMS):

1. Refrain from planting mangroves in seagrass bed ecosystem. It is counterproductive and seagrasses have a different role in coastal ecosystem.

13 | P a g e

2. On planting of mangrove species, we must consider its zonation pattern (i.e. seaward, middleward, landward and riverine zones). Plant right species in these different zones

3. Monoculture species based on studies slow down the productivity of the area in terms of detritus/litterall is concerned. Monoculture scheme will cause or make ecosystem susceptible to pests and diseases, depreciate its growth, production and its biodiversity in general

4. Planting of endemic/indigenous mangrove species is encouraged in assisted natural regeneration (ANR) and reforestation for rehabilitation, whenever/wherever possible. Further, we should refrain from planting introduced/exotic species of mangroves in the country.

The best practices in mangrove management, rehabilitation and nursery shall be followed for high impact interventions:

A. Stand Structure Assessment of Mangrove Areas Objectives: a. Assess and gather data on the structure and species composition of remaining mangrove stands b. Determine whether the mangrove resource is progressing or degrading c. Obtain reliable information and data as basis for planning and management of the resource and for policy formulation Process: a. Identify the extent of mangrove and fishpond areas b. Establish permanent monitoring station c. Identify the site for restoration and rehabilitation d. Identify the potential site for nursery establishment e. Assess the present condition of mangrove communities

B. Nursery Site Selection and Establishment General Criteria for the Selection of Nursery Site a. Water Supply – near the sea and tidal rivers/creeks – brackish water or fresh water sources b. Central location and accessibility – near coastal barangays c. Drainage – near areas influenced by tidal inundation d. Size of the area – an area to accommodate the needed planting stocks

C. Mangrove Species Selection for Rehabilitation – indicator species in the area shall be considered. a. Substrate : i. Muddy: bakauan babae, bakauan lalake, busain and tangal ii. Rocky or Coralline: bakauan bato, bakauan lalaki, pagatpat, bungalon and bantigi iii. Sandy: bakauan bato, bakauan lalake and pagatpat

14 | P a g e

D. Site for Rehabilitation Site rehabilitation should be done in the following Mangrove planting should not be done on the sites: following sites: • Following the shoreline • Going seaward • Along riverbanks/steam banks • Beach areas • Protected lagoons/coves • Boat docking areas • Open gaps within mangrove area • Presence of seagrass/coral reefs • Abandoned fishponds • Barnacle infected area • Fishpond dikes • Constantly battered by surges or waves

Monitoring and Evaluation The conditions of the mangroves shall be monitored on the following criteria:

Condition Criteria

- 76% and above in % of crown cover - 1 regeneration per sq.m. Excellent - Above 5 m in average height of trees - Undisturbed to negligible disturbance - 51-75% crown cover Good - < 1 to 0.76 regeneration per sq.m. - < 5 m to 3m average heights of trees slight disturbance and few cuttings - 26-50% crown cover - 0.50 to 0.75 regeneration per sq.m. Fair - < 3 to 2 m average heights of trees moderate disturbance and noticeable cuttings - 0 – 25 % crown cover - < 0.50 regeneration per sq. m. Poor - 2 m average height of trees heavy disturbance/cuttings/pollution, rampant conversion to other uses, nearly disturbed

ANNEXES Annex 1: Balayan Mangrove Development Plan The municipality of Balayan is located along northwest portion of the Balayan Bay. It is bounded by the municipalities of Calatagan and Lemery.

Balayan is a first class municipality in the province of Batangas. It lies in the northern part of Balayan Bay. It is one of the most productive fishing grounds in the country. The town is subdivided into 48 barangays, eleven (11) of which constitute the coastal. Fishing is the major source of livelihood in the coastal areas, there has been no systematic account on fisheries catch and effort. Moreover, there has been no assessment on the status of exploited resources, putting at risk their very source of livelihood. The remaining mangroves in the municipality as detected from satellite images gathered in circa 2010, validated during the mangrove planning workshop have an aggregate area of 4.6 hectares found in at least 40 sporadic sites in thee (3) barangays namely San Piro, Navotas and Palikpikan. Most of the areas are abandoned fishponds which the LGU has existing or proposed memorandum of agreement. About 625 square meters are natural stand and about 68 square meters are newly planted with mangroves through LGU and PO initiatives in Barangay Palikpikan.
