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.

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.
