Maqueda Bay Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject is located in the tidal mudflats and coastal waters in the municipalities of Tarangnan and Calbiga, Western Samar. The subproject covers parcels of inadequately stocked mangrove areas and open or denuded areas interspersed along the coast.

Under the Comprehensive Site Development contract of the subproject, the PO’s rehabilitated a total of 1,387.47 hectares of mangrove and mudflats which were planted with bacauan or Rhizophora spp.

In just 2 years existence of the PO’s, they were able to generate enough funds for their five (5) livelihood projects particularly their mud crab fattening.

The project has provided regular employment not only to its members but also to non-members of the PO’s.

The latest socio-institutional survey revealed that the average household annual income of the community members increased by 27% from PhP 40,514.20 to PhP 55,823.58.
