Abstract

This chapter identifies and describes the challenges in small-scale fisheries governance in the context of Taklong Island National Marine Reserve in Guimaras Province, Philippines. Results show that diversity (diverse species of flora and fauna; many fishers highly dependent on the fishery resources and other users), complexity (relationship between key fishery habitats and fish catch; low cooperation and compliance to laws and regulations and conflicts within and among stakeholder groups), dynamism (decline in the quality of the resources overtime; low mobility), and scale (relatively small-sized marine reserve with stakeholders from local to national levels) characterize the natural and social systems in the marine reserve, which lend themselves to low governability. The hierarchical governing mode with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources heading the interim Management Board has not been responsive to governance challenges posed by small-scale fisheries in the reserve. The lack of representativeness and inadequate exchange of information have led to poor quality interaction between the systems. Barriers have been created since “step zero” contributing to low governability. The case illustrates that a “non-functional marine reserve” is detrimental to the sustainability of coastal resources and wellbeing of the people.
