EXPLANATORY NOTE

Mangrove forests are considered one of the most productive and fertile
ecosystems in the world. Many of our people living in coastal communities lived, fished
and hunted in the mangroves for ages, deriving from them important commodities
such as food, fuel, timber, medicine and building materials. Mangrove forests also
served as "shelterbelt" because they can cushion the impact of strong winds and
provide protection against soil erosion. With its extensive air root system, mangrove
forests are able to stabilize shorelines and protect inshore nutrients to adjacent areas.
More important, mangrove forests serve as natural nurseries or breeding places for a
large number of commercially important marine species.

‘The rapid decline of mangrove forests can be attributed to the "open access" of
the present system which causes 'the over-population of resources found within the
forests. This is exacerbated by the lack of technical understanding of management.

This measure proposes to establish reservation areas in all coastal areas in each
municipality of the country solely for the preservation, protection, reforestation,
afforestation and sustainable development of mangrove forests. In setting aside
portions of land for mangroves, we can ensure that our people will continue to enjoy
the benefits accorded by this important ecosystem. This bill will also penalize the
destruction and cutting of mangrove trees, as well as the dumping of waste products
within the reservation areas. Furthermore, the measure makes the offender pay for the


expenses that will be incurred for the restoration or rehabilitation of the mangrove
areas that will be damaged or destroyed.

Specifically, this bill seeks to declare the Western Dinagat Islands protected
landscape and seascape, Malinao Inlet Natural Park and Gaas Inlet Natural Park
located at the Province of Dinagat Islands as Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserves.

The primary basis of the proposed Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserves in the
Province of Dinagat Islands is very critical in ensuring the conservation of the natural
resources for the province to be used for agricultural, industrial and commercial
purposes by its inhabitants.

The urgency to pass this bill is necessary to safeguard it from indiscriminate
exploitation, industrial advancement, to maintain the ecological and recreational
balance and the preservation of the said Mangrove Swamp Forest in the Province.

It is deemed crucial that we act on these now to ensure that our children and
the succeeding generations will inherit a living earth with all of its bountiful natural
resources and vibrant wildlife.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly urged.
