Coastal resource management training guide
The Philippine Environmental Governance Project (EcoGov). (2004). Coastal Resource Management Training Guide. [s.l.] :Department of Environment and Natural Resources-United States Agency for International Development’s (DENR-USAID).
The Coastal Resource Management (CRM) Training Guide is a synthesis of the training
modules and materials used by the Philippine Environmental Governance (EcoGov) Project in
assisting local government units (LGUs) in CRM planning and implementation. These training
modules and materials incorporate EcoGov’s two-and-a-half years of experience in providing CRM
technical assistance to some local government units (LGUs) in the EcoGov regions. To some
extent, this Guide documents some of EcoGov’s “best practices†in putting into place a governance-enhanced
CRM process.
This Guide is intended for service providers1 tasked to assist municipal and city LGUs in preparing and
implementing governance-enhanced coastal resources and fisheries management plans. It serves as a
reference to broaden their understanding of the EcoGov technical assistance approach, help them develop
CRM training programs for LGUs and allow them to use EcoGov-developed analytical and decision-making
tools that promote transparency, accountability and participatory decision-making.
