This chapter outlines the range of management strategies that can be used to achieve effective management of natural resources use, including regulatory tools (such as hunting bans, quotas, and no-take-zones), distractions (such as the promotion of alternative livelihoods), incentives (such as direct conservation payments), and activities aimed at changing attitudes (such as education campaigns). The essential characteristics of each approach are outlined, giving the strengths, the weaknesses, and the conditions necessary for successful implementation. The need for an integrated management approach in most cases is emphasized, combining elements of several different approaches with strong stakeholder engagement.Less

The Philippines depends on its coastal coral reef fisheries as a critical source of livelihood and seafood for both export and domestic consumption. By the mid-1990s, these fisheries had been over-exploited by both large-scale commercial and small-scale subsistence fishermen. Nearly all the coastal fisheries had been over-fished, and three-fourths of the coral reefs were being eroded. This chapter profiles Apo Island, one of the oldest marine protected areas in the country; the scientific research on marine conservation and coastal resource management that led to its creation; and the challenges that the community has faced in maintaining its no-take zone. The chapter also describes the USAID-funded Coastal Resource Management Project and its work building local government capacity to manage coastal resources at a larger scale, using Malalag Bay, Mindanao, as an example.Less
