DESCRIPTION:
The State of the Coasts of Cavite Province, Philippines, was developed to assess and analyze the progress, achievements and impacts of ICM implementation in the province. It seeks to provide information on the changing social, economic and environmental conditions in the province and to determine the scope and effectiveness of coastal management programs that have been implemented. The report, in particular, aims to evaluate the governance mechanisms and management interventions that have been put in place and provide recommendations where improvements are necessary and critical. The SOC report may be refined and updated through time to monitor trends, changes and developments in the coastal areas of Cavite and to adopt the necessary policies and management strategies in response to these changes.
