Subproject Completion Report: Pisaan-Sungayan Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject

Pisaan-Sungayan Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject is located within the 11 Barangays from the three Municipalities of Zamboanga del Sur: Dinas, Dimataling, and Pitogo. The Mangrove forests functioned importantly as source of marine products. Villagers depend much on the marine produce of the area for their living.

The established plantations and the intense maintenance and protection of the PO improved the diversity of the marine ecosystem. The communities experienced more harvest than before. The developed vegetative cover of the area also created habitat for wild animals. The Subproject greatly improved the socioeconomic condition of the participating communities. Poverty was alleviated and education has been accessible in the area, increasing the literacy rate of the concerned barangays. The constructed infrastructures support the livelihood activities of the PO that would further ensure the continuous development of the area. The great transformation of the communities, since subproject implementation, was the increased awareness on the sustainable use of mangrove forest resources, prevention of illegal activities in the area, and restoration of peace and order.
