Abstract
This article provides information on current trends in coastal resource management in the Philippines through two case studies on common property resource comanagement in Panay Island, Western Visayas, the Philippines. The article reveals that the management and development of large marine ecosystems requires key conditions to succeed, such as the delineation and congruence of politically defined space with ecological realities; enhancement of stake-holder management capabilities (i.e., information, resources, and skills); supplementary livelihood opportunities; enabling institutions and increased grassroots participation; and effective oversight and coordination between and among concerned state, civil society, and market (profit-oriented) organizations. In the process, achievements and difficulties surrounding the creation of a coastal area governance system (CAGS) are examined.
