2.       What are the imperatives in the preparation of Coastal Land Use Plan?

Relevant data in coastal resource management is imperative in the formulation of Coastal Land Plan. These can be made possible thru Resource Inventory and Stocktaking (Ecological Profiling) and Survey and Mapping of Coastal Zone Subsystems or Coastal Land Subclassification.


3. Who are the relevant stakeholders in the coastal and marine areas? How do you intend to balance interests of relevant sectors?
Land use allocation and coastal resources utilization and development involve several decision makers and stakeholders. National agencies and local governments prepare and implement plans addressing various problems and issues on coastal resources utilization and development. Similarly, NGOs, People’s Organizations (POs) and the private sector implement development activities within the coastal zone. All these efforts should be integrated and redirected or refocused to supplement and complement one another within the context of sustainable development and in conformity with land use planning principles and laws. There is a need to ensure that planning at the local and regional levels is responsive to the needs and aspirations of the local communities. A planning body at the local level should be able to integrate these concerns and activities in the coastal zones.
