Bio-diversity

Development in the coastal areas of site is focused on tourism and fisheries such as live fish gathering, capture fisheries, and aquaculture. The growth rate of tourism in the City of Puerto Princesa is in an upward trend. This increases the demand for reef fishes for consumption. The overall purpose of this project is to address capacity-building skills and interlinkaging network of community-managed marine protected area at the Saint Pal Bay coastal communities to ensure the survival and protection of the widest possible range of marine species and ecosystems by interconnecting natural habitats status and biodiversity assemblage and the need to institutionalize appropriate management approaches for community-managed marine protected area and monitoring systems at the World Heritage Site.
