Big Picture [9:00-9:50]

Objectives: At the end of the session, the CFs will be able to: – Appreciate their accomplishments in Barrier Removal: Big Picture – Identify relevant key indicators in the management focus

Presentation 1. The overarching objectives of MPA Governance (BR framework) 2. The phases of MPA Governance (PEP 2 methodology)

1. MPA Governance Framework (BR): Objectives Based on the cohort hypothesis: Improve MPA governance Improve MPA enforcement Each MPA should reach 1 level higher or maintain Level 3 “enforced” or higher by July 2012

Why MPA governance and enforcement? Identified as the 2 key BR strategies during initial evaluation of TOC documents in March 2010 (Cebu workshop). Governance = the processes by which leaders are selected and how organizational policies are formulated and reviewed Enforcement is an important part of Governance and essential to MPA success so we highlighted it

TWG [in place with EO] Integral part of the BR and Social Marketing infrastructure Assist with implementation of MPA governance (BR) and Social Marketing campaign Done, but needs strengthening

PEP Methodology: the four Phases of MPA Governance (BR) PCRA-FGDs, Community Reef Survey and MPA Effectiveness [April-May 2011] Planning [MPA-GMP] [May-June2011] Implementation [June 2011-June2012] Monitoring and Evaluation

1. PCRA Setting up ManCom-Done, but needs to be guided constantly and strengthened MERF Baseline-Done, but need to inform Monitoring Plan [CR portion], updated annually Community reef monitoring-Done, but need to inform Monitoring Plan and strengthen the team; updated annually PCRA FGDs-Done, but need to be updated annually MPA Effectiveness-Done, but need to be repeated in June 2012

2. Planning (BROP) [all done] But, needs enhancement/improvement: How? – Workshop [later today] – Sessions: A combination of workshops and presentations [later in Module 3] TWG and ManCom Strengthening [June 24] Climate Smarting our MPAs [June 30] Setting up the Enforcement Continuum [July 6] MPA Financing [July 7] Site Visit in Handuman [MSN Awarded]

3. Implementation Implement MPA Governance plan as part of the MPA, in coordination with TWG and ManCom Implementation of MPA Governance and Management Plan BR Implementation of Monitoring Plan CR June 2011-June 2012

Monitoring Plan [TR, BC, BR metrics] ongoing and in progress feedback MPA Effectiveness [annual] 4. Monitoring and Evaluation-[Monitoring Plan and MPA Effectiveness] Implementation of Monitoring Plan CR June 2011-June 2012

Summary Discussed the four phases of MPA Governance (BR) PCRA-FGDs, Community Reef Survey and MPA Effectiveness [April-May 2011] Planning [MPA- GMP] [May- June2011] Implementation [June June2012] Monitoring and Evaluation [July 2011-June 2012]

Workshop: Improving your 6. Action Plans-Identifying key relevant indicators in the management focus

Objectives: This session will present: – The cohort analysis on MPA rating – Identify critical management focus: areas that needs improvement Expected output – Improved Action Plan [key activities to address relevant indicators] Process: – Presentation – Series of Workshop: Groups, Individual and grouping Materials: – Action plan – Series of Workshop: Individual and grouping

Guided Assessment 1: Whole Group Identify the relevant indicators in each management focus that requires work or maintain [if achieved] to up to Level 3 – Instructions: Open your MPA form tab [I sent you yesterday] Open action plan tab Write the indicators identified as we go along Highlight the added indicators to distinguish them from original

MPA effectiveness Rating 

How to get to level 2 and 3? Collaborative patrolling and surveillance, records maintained and open to everyone; Education program sustained for public awareness; Fishing effectively stopped within MPA; Illegal and destructive fishing reduced outside of MPA [5 km radius]; Budget from LGU or other resources allotted and accessible for MPA management; MB active and supported by legal instrument; MPA; billboards/boundary markers maintained Ordinance passed and approved; MP adopted and legitimized by the LGU; MB formed and functional; Budget for Year 1 allocated; Enforcement initiative allocated; Boundaries delineated; Signboards and billboards; MPA outposts and other structures; Biophysical monitoring [7/17] Level 1: 10/17 These are PERFORMANCE INDICATORS. Build on this Level fast; use this Level to build evidence to get to the next Level: These are RESULTS INDICATORS. If you document well your achievements in level 2, Level 3 will be easy

Improving your MPA-GMP [2:30-4:00]

Objectives: At the end of the session the CFs will be able to: – Explain how the MPA Governance and Management Plan (MPA-GMP) fits into the PEP Methodology and Campaign plan – Identify gaps in the document and finalize your MPA GMP

Process: Presentation [30 minutes] – Objectives of the MPA Governance and Management Plan (BROP) – What is the MPA-GMP? – MPA-GMP Template – Run through the whole MPA-GMP document and grading system

Objectives of MPA-GMP: To be the steering document for all MPAs to achieve governance and enforcement [Level 3 ‘enforced’] To consolidate the results of all the PCRA into action plan and provide a guide for implementers To clarify who, what, how and when for MPA governance plus source, support needed

What is MPA-GMP (BROP)? A guide for the implementers (TWG / ManCom) that analyzes results of PCRA and offers a road map for improving MPA governance A document containing what, when who, budget A living document that will be enhanced throughout the Module 3

Rundown of documents: MPA-GMP Format – Please take into account dates for: Vulnerability Assessment [CC stuff] Fisheries Survey [Biomass] Biophysical survey [monitoring] Grading system

Individual Work Time: 3:00-4:00 Finalize MPA-GMP [taking into account grading system] Deadline for submission: 11:00 PM ed to me CC Ariela and Your PPMs Long Paper Size
