1 Greater Role of Local Government and People s Participation on Coastal Resource Management for Attaining Food Security Lessons learned through Development of Participatory and Decentralized Management Contents & Topics 1 Fisheries Development: towards attaining Food Security 2 Decentralized and participatory approach to sustainable coastal fisheries management and coastal community development: Topics and issues 3 How to increase local governance over CRM? lessons from good practices in Southeast Asia Discussion point: new types of resource management body and their works with stakeholders and local government Hiroshima University Masahiro Yamao Statements (1) Management, Decentralization & Participation Iimplementation of Responsible Fisheries has problems reported many of which are governance related. IUU (Illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishing activities have been speared widely over many part of Asia and Pacific (FAO, 2002). A decentralized and participatory approach would be rather effective in implementation of Responsible Fisheries, compared to the centralized and top down approach. Participation in decision making process is a key factor in every development and management project (Chenkitkosol & Yamao, 2006) Human, social and cultural considerations are substantial factors to achieve the success of Coastal Resource Management 3 (CRM). Statement (2) Governance & Its Framework Integrated and complex approaches are required at local levels, including institutional arrangement, monitoring, controlling and surveillance (MCS). Decentralization and participation are becoming the most significant for a further development of CRM. Communitybased and co management approaches are widely acknowledged as effective tool. Enormous effort to develop CBRM and CM has already been done. However, appraisal over decentralized and people s participation always fluctuates. Some projects are successful, but some still fail. Lessons from the past good practices can improve approach to establish sustainable framework of CBRM and CRM, and local governance over them.
2 Statement (3) : New trends New type of projects and programs are designed and implemented, focusing a wider spatial scale of management body, and cluster approach of local governments. However, we have often fluctuate between positive and negative appraisal. Positive appraisal Fluctuation Negative appraisal Questions 1) Policy planners & development staff may often have negative appraisal on people s participation in CRM and any local based management. Why? 2) Greater role of local government in CRM is emphasized. Comanagement approach is anticipated to work effectively. But how to share responsibility between local government and people (and their organizations) is not yet prepared as a workable framework. What constraints and solutions? 3) Livelihood improvement strategy should be designed in proper way in CRM program. Why is this strategy strongly demanded though it is the most difficult? Objectives This presentation has two objectives. 1. Experiences on institutional development of decentralized and participatory coastal resource management (CRM), mainly in Southeast Asia, will be discussed, considering the newly development of integrated coastal management (ICM) from a viewpoint of sustainable fisheries. Development of Decentralized and Participatory Approach to Sustainable Coastal Fisheries 2. What kind of local institutions can take responsibility for coastal resource management? For sustainable coastal resource management, how people and government work together and share responsibility? 7 Indonesia: Sape fishing port, Bima District
3 1 Responsible Fisheries Management : Sustainability, Adjustment and Coordination in Coastal Zone A centralized approach to fisheries management and lack of consultation with stakeholders are obstacles to the Code of Conducts for Responsible Fisheries (FAO 2007). FAO and other international agencies suggest that countries should be encouraged to facilitate an inclusive approach to fisheries management in which stakeholders, through their participation and co management, are called upon to play important roles in decision making process. The coastal zone has multiple uses. Fisheries practices should be carried out to avoid conflict between fishers and other stakeholders, or if disputes occur, they are settled according to established and appropriate procedures 2 1 Decentralization in coastal resource management Coastal resource tends to decline drastically since last several decades (FAO, 2005). The management approach currently prevailing is based on the intervention of central government, which aims at organizing the utilization of resources for solving any issues (Sen and Nielsen, 1996). Top down approach (centralized resume) : Monitoring, controlling and surveillance (MCS) often does not work 1) Poor enforcement of fisheries laws at local levels 2) Not reflect fishers opinions and attitudes 3) Not fit in with local reality of fisheries 4)High management cost, etc Contents of decentralization Central government transfers power and authority to local level institutions Elements of decentralization (Pomeroy and Berkes, 1997) (1) De concentration under supervision of central government (2) Delegation central government can take the power back (3) Devolution without reference back to central government (4) Privatization transfer to private enterprise Various type of decentralization can be established through cooperation between the central and local levels, in order to implement adaptative management Advantages of decentralization Local users active participation may be cost effective. Decision making costs is much expensive, but implementation costs are rather cheaper. Local based management frameworks such as CBRM and CM encourage resource users to achieve awareness building. Fishers' indigenous and local knowledge of coastal resource and environment is of great use. Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is an important component of decentralized management framework. Transfer of sea boundaries to local communities makes fishers and stakeholders participate easily in resource management. Ownership of the right to aquatic resources within the boundaries motivates fishers to carefully exploit resources to attain their interest in long term use. 12
4 2 4 Requirements of decentralization 1. Amendment of local government code, declaration of new fisheries acts and environmental code,etc. Institutional reforms, Decentralization of management authority 2. Implementation of pilot projects, and their lessons Experiences and Lessons Learned from Community based Resource Management (CBRM) Communal beach seine in Sri Lanka (Source) Chenkitkosol & Yamao, 2006 Pilot projects for the introduction of community based and co management are already implemented with or without a clear cult policy for decentralization. To decentralize the management authority, some Asian countries have amended local government codes, environment codes, and fisheries acts. A decentralized system is regarded as a key instrument to accomplish sustainable resource utilization at local levels People s participation on CRM Participatory management approach offers various advantages. 1) making consensus and achieving agreement based on the information available by considering local knowledge 2) increasing the representation of the community or stakeholders as away to build legitimacy 3) contributing in conflict resolution and coordination 4) Improving decision making procedures, and 5) encouraging accountability and compliance among the participants (and outside) Theses advantages are proved by pilot projects on CBRM in the past Effects of Introducing CBRM Various CBRM projects have been designed and implemented so far according to local demands: voluntary based MCS, fishing ground management, establishment of MPA, resource friendly fishing gears, self regulatory fishing activities, resource enhancement, livelihood activity, community based finance, community business, etc. CBRM Resource users participation is to responsibly manage the diversity of fisheries resource and factors. These factors are available in the community. Long term food subsistence and opportunities of employment for fishers and the community will be feasible. To avoid tragedy of commons in coastal zone, CBRM is considered as effective institutional tool.
5 Characteristics of Common Fisheries Resources in Coastal Zone I Little Control I Awareness building and Zoning (ban destructive gears) CBRM activities Blue swimming crab is caught by small meshed trap (bamboo) in Panay island, the Philippines. Crab meat is exported after processing. Increasing demand causes a rapid expansion of catch effort. Pilot project II Loosely-controlled CPRs II Demarcation (making rules, and enforce ) III Demarcation With TURFs (ex.) Non-excludable III Tightly-controlled CPRs CPR= Common Property Resources (Source) modified Inoue & Miyauchi 2001, Yamao 2006 Non rivalness Simple processing factory, in Owner invested and constructed a modern factory in 2007.
6 Accetess is important species in poor fishers. They make paste, and sell in markets or exchange with milled rice. During peak season, the fishers are very busy in push net fisheries. And wives are also busy in processing. Push net fishery often conflict with others, such as shallow water set net, gill net, and mangrove projects. However, this fishery is is often the most important source of income in poor family. 2 1 Why community becomes a primary unit? 2 2 What function is community expected to take? Community is an elementary group of people More effective management 1) achieve sustainability of resources 2) scatter efficiency of resource allocation 3) bring equity of resource distribution greater participation economic & social development at local level 1 Representative 2 Consensus 3 Suggestion 4 Implementation Act as representative and unity of resource Users in the primary unit Organize a process of gaining consensus among resource users Suggest directions of coastal resource management and community development to Local Government Unit Undertake conservation and management activities in line with consensus and agreement Enforce laws, monitoring and controlling irresponsible activities External effect of fisheries is enhanced through community (This becomes a controversial issue in creating a policy for revitalizing fishing community.) 5 Enforcement 6 Adjustment Adjust interests between areas and reduce conflicts
7 2 3 Practices of CBRM (adopted in Coastal Resource Management) CBRM: Community is a unit of development and management body (and a political unit) CRM community may have 1) defined area with territorial use right in fisheries (TURFs), area fishing right, registration, licensing, etc. 2) delegated authority to control fishing activities 3) participatory manners and democratic procedures 4) opportunity to develop people s own management mechanism, etc. Term community includes wide meanings, differing from area to area, and from country to country. 3 1 Successful factors of community based and comanagement projects Target activities Level of participation Successful projects Legal &formal support Three requirements: 1) Target activities should be clearly identified. 2) Level of participation 3) Legal & formal support Sustainable Development (source) Yamao 2003,Chenkitkosol & Yamao Chart Successful Factors of community-based & co-management projects 3 2 Evolution into a social system of CBRM Practices Wide variety of pilot projects have been designed and implemented so far, mainly establishing loosely controlled CRM. Tightly controlled CRM is not always target. Evolution from implementing pilot projects to the phase of building social system Diversified objectives and activities Awareness building, training, fishing ground management, input control, zoning, marine protected area (MPA), Spawning Per Recruitment (SPR), MSY, and so on. Institutional arrangement will vary according to target resource users. Self management of participatory projects People self encourage to organize and activity. Management of a wide spatial area Lager size of management, bay based and semi enclosed areas, networks of management bodies. Participation in Monitoring, Controlling & Surveillance (MCS) Administration, registration, licensing, patrolling, and so on. The institutional and law enforcement mechanism become complicated. 3 3 A Case of CBRM development In Southeast Asia, an enormous number of CBRM projects have been implemented. They accumulate knowledge and experiences. Along with development of CBRM, formal support are increasingly required. High level input control Output control Fishing ground management, Primary level input control, Technical control, etc. Awareness Building Law enforcement Achieving consensus, making rule Education & Dissemination Increasing role of formal support Community based practice, with Encouraging people s participation
8 3 5 Development of CBRM in Southeast Asia Pilot project stage Network of CBRMs Proposal for CM policy Accumulation of experiment & experiences Management in narrow locality Participation (Source) Yamao 2003, Yamao 2007 Transfer of technology, exchange of practices Establishment of networks Wider area management Intermediary institution Development Proposal learned through lessons New strategy toward ICM Reforming policy Rearranged decentralization New Movement of CRM: Sea tenure Increasing role of local Common fishing Common fishing ground I Common fishing government, ground II and ground how III to share responsibility? 1) Any community members access to common fishing grounds (open access) 2) Net fishing is not allowed. Kaggala community, in Sri Lanka Boundaries Fishing vessels go fishing anywhere Common fishing grounds occupied by a community Neighboring community 1 1 Amendment of laws and regulations Amendment of laws Related laws also amended, such as local codes, environmental codes, etc. Increasing role of local government unit. Lessons learned from past experiences of CBRM Not as pilot projects, it act as a social system regulated by laws and regulations. Trials of new types of projects Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) Making cluster and network of coastal resource management CRM is linked to social economic development Equal allocation of coastal resources, linkage to poverty alleviation, alternative job and livelihood activities, etc. (Re.1) Case: Kkao Thong, Krabi Province (Self management) (Re.1) Case: Kkao Thong, Krabi Province (Self management) Coastal boundary of KhaoThong Area of concession of edible-nest Area of tourism and community s mangrove forest Shallow water set net Shrimp trammel net Crab net Fish Trap & Squid Trap Artificial reefs Wantana & Yamao 2004

Provincial/ Central Government Delegate issues Local Government Units (LGUs) Network of CBMUs CBMU CBMU CBMU CBMU=Community-based Management Unit Coordinate & share responsibility 1 Manage over a wider zone 2 Adjust between communities 1 Regulate users 2 Manage over immediate zone Decentralized and Participatory Approach: Networks of Community based Management Units (CBMUs) Function of CBMUs Community functions as a primary administrative unit standing between the people and LGU. Community covers a wide range of local concerns. Its administrative unit must open its membership to all residents. A communitybased framework of resource management encourages greater participation of fishers and resource users in a decision making process. Coverage area of CBMU A CBMU does not need to restrict its membership and activities within one community. Organization and membership should be flexibly changed. Network supported by LGUs Network is to arrange and conduct self regulating activities, supported by LGUs. It resolves conflicts between communities, and between different types of fisheries. Sharing responsibility between LGUs and network, it will change flexibly according to the level of people s participation and involvement. 36
10 Case of Indonesia: CM in Waorada Bay, Bima District, Indonesia 2 1 Several Types of Management have developed Community-based management (in Desa) Resource users group management (like Bagan group) Network of Desas (Ketchamatan). Desa Fisheries groups Fisheries (Bagan) goup Desa Waorada Bay District : prepare for scientific research for target species, and advices how to manage Institutionalization Common Fishing Grounds Local rules and regulations Capacity building at District office is important for sustainable resource management. Training program is designed for gathering Information beside administrative work. Below: sampling of anchovy caught by Bagan. Data will be sent to research Institute. Bagan (mobavle) boat: target species are anchovy, sardines and small mackerel. Fish will mostly be dried and salted. Bagan boat owners have respected their traditional rules. They cooperate with LGUs and accept advices.
11 2 2 Community based and self regulatory managements needs two requirements: Traditional ecological & biological knowledge Stability District Office Local & traditional rules Formalization Establishment of Partnership between local and District Fisheries Services (DFC) Scientific ecological & biological knowledge KW Experiments in Waorada Bay Provision of legal framework, MCS Central District Local levels (Desa, Kethamatan, etc) Fishery Laws Make ordinances --registration --permitting Make local rules People s participation Transfer authority of coastal fisheries Decentralized Fisheries Resource Management in Indonesia District Administrative Office District Fisheries Services (DFS) KW activities (JICA s project) 42 Case of Banate Bay, Pnay Island, the Philippines Illegal fishing boats (Danish purse seines) in Panay 3 1 Under Decentralization: Municipality increases role of coastal resource management and conservation Local Government Code 1991 Institutional reforms, mainly geared towards local autonomy over the management of coastal resources, started through the passage of the Code (Francisco 1997). LGU increases contribution to resource management 1) It jurisdictionally owns the right of management. It takes the lead role in any management program and serve like a conductor. 2) LGU enacts local ordinances on resource management within its own territorial waters (municipal waters). Integrated Coastal Management LGUs (municipality and city) are devolved the authority to manage coastal resources including marine, land, and mangrove.
12 3 2 Fisheries Code 1998: Workable Framework of Coastal Resource Management Municipal Fisheries should be managed by LGUs Municipal fisheries (capture operations using boats less than 3 GT). They are registered and licensed at municipal government. Municipal waters are within 15 km from shoreline (commercial fisheries are not allowed to operate). LGUs enact ordinances and regulation Through people s participation in decision making process, LGUs enact own ordinances and regulations, based on Fisheries Code and LGU code. Fisheries & Aquatic Resource Management Council (FARMC) 1) Support to make fisheries development plan and resource utilization plan. 2) Suggest establishment as well as revision of fishing ordinance. 3) Support execution of fisheries code and ordinance within municipal waters. 4) Suggest LGU Assembly. FARMCs are established at Barangay, municipal, regional and central levels. Mechanism of local governance over coastal resources and environment in the Philippines National Municipality (and City) Barangay LGC Fishery Code Make ordinances --registration --permitting Make consensus People s participation Transfer authority of coastal waters (within 15km) MFARMC BFARMCs (organized at Balangay) Inside (informal Agreement source: Yamao 2002, Yamao 2006, Aso 2006 Conventional CBRM 46 Four municipalities face Banate Bay and Barotac Viejo Bay. Fisheries and agriculture are main occupations. Due to excessive catch effort, coastal resources have decreased and depleted. Anilao Barotac Nuevo Banate Municipal territorial waters Barotac Viejo 3 3 Establishment of Banate Bay Resource Management Council, Inc. (BBRMCI) In 1996: three municipalities agreed to establish a bay wide management council, to cut across political and territorial boundaries. They intended to jointly manage the Bay and meet common area development plan. In 1998: Common Fisheries Ordinances were promulgated, based on Fisheries Code In 2002: Barotac Viejo joined. In 2007: JICA started technical cooperation. Anilao Barotac Nuevo Banate + BBRMCI Barotac Viejo Provide fund & dispatch staff Banate Bay Common ordinances & regulations
13 Constructed by JICA project 3 3 Objectives of BBRMCI Objectives 1) To eradicate illegal fishing; ban operations of commercial fishing boats that destroy sea grass and stop indiscriminate gathering of sea shells and corrals 2) To adopt a zoning system that shall eliminate the construction of illegal fish pens, fish ponds and other structures along and within the municipal territorial waters. 3) To adopt regeneration program like mangrove reforestation, and artificial coral reef. 4) To organize the small fisher folk into associations or cooperatives and develop their capacity to manage organizations. 5) To conduct continuous coastal zone research 6) To maintain data banking system. (Source: BBRMCI) BBRMCI has diversified objectives. It intends to function as; 1) a bay wide management body in 4 municipalities 2) a monitoring and patrolling agency 3) a development agency for supporting livelihood in fishing community 4) a training and research institution 3 4 Major Activities of BBRMCI Mangrove: Bufferzone Rivers 1 Institutional Development For enhancing community involvement, organizing f community, education and organizational development. 2 Law Enforcement Responsible for the review and codification of the laws of four municipalities. Strict rules and regulations are adopted. Licensing and registration are undertaken to effect legalization of fishing operation. Monitoring and patrolling are conducted. 3 Coastal Zone Research and Data Banking To monitor coastal resource and environment together with fisher folk. Resource management plan and zoning will be designed. 4 Livelihood Development To provide sustainable livelihood options, and to eradiate poverty in fishing community. 5 Mangrove and Land Use To rehabilitate and conserve mangrove resource management.

16 4 1 New Phase of Decentralized and Participatory Approach: towards Cluster Development Coastal resource and environmental problems are hot issues. Bottom up approach are very effective. Many nations in Asia Pacific region emphasize the importance of decentralization. However, capacity and function of local based management body as well as its size are controversial. Law enforcement does not work effectively. Decentralization program must be redesigned to fit in with local reality. Bottom up organizations should share part of responsibility for administration, planning, and law enforcement. They create own systems and adopt standardized procedures. Empower Local government units (both local and regional levels). Build a cluster approach in a certain defined area. 4 2 Local Responsibility for Sustainable Resource Utilization Greater role of local level on resource management LGU should cooperate together with stakeholders and any relevant institutions, to support people s participatory works on CBRM and CM activities. Within the framework of present fisheries law and other related regulations, LGU should clarify its function and authority in resource management. CBRM and CM units should establish a workable network cover a wider area (commonly utilized) for adjustment between them. To avoid overuse of resource in common fishing ground. Without this network, conflicts often occur. LGUs should develop management methods in collaboration with stakeholders, following the idea of the Code of Conducts Workable Framework of Coastal Resource Management over a Wider Spatial Area Development of more effective method and framework that would be adequate to a wider area management. ex. Networks of CBRM projects, decentralized network, but with topdown nature a. Bottom up and participatory nature may fade b. System of adjusting conflicts between stakeholders and between areas Semi enclosed and bay based management Capacity building of LGU and its staff should be promoted. Stable administrative system should be established, without political intervention. Thank you for your attention. yamao@hiroshima-u.ac.jp 63
