Objectives:
1. Provide the rationale for PCRA in the context of good governance in CRM
2. Familiarize participants with some participatory methods and apply these in actual coastal habitat, fisheries and socio-economic assessment
3. Compile a preliminary coastal environment and socio-economic and cultural profile based on PCRA results
4. Analyze results to identify issues and recommend possible management guidelines.

Importance of PCRA:
• facilitates validation of the status of coastal habitats and resources, their current uses and resource users by local community members•generates quantitative technical descriptions of coastal habitats and resources (e.g. fisheries)•documents local and indigenous knowledge crucial for CRM•generates baseline information for the formulation of management strategies•generates baseline information for monitoring and evaluation (i.e. revision and refinement of management actions)
![Page 10: Pcra lecture (camotes pcra orientation)](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/5451d949af7959b5648b99b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why is it important to be participatory?
•Facilitates broader understanding of coastal resources uses and users so that communities can make informed decisions about how to best manage local coastal resources•Provides an opportunity to develop and enhance the knowledge of local communities•Contributes to community empowerment •Enhances ownership in decision-making•Facilitates consensus building and information dissemination

How well are the coral reefs in your area?To be able to know the status of your reef in your area. The
community shall conduct a monitoring scheme to be able to identify the changes done over a period of time. Thus, promote suggestive action for reef restoration and preservation.
How to monitor?There are a lot of ways in monitoring the reef in which all throughout has been
used by scientist. However, to name a few wherein even a local fisherfolk can participate and can easily understand:
• Manta Tow Survey• Point Intercept Transect• Coral Reef Fish Visual Census

Manta TowDefinition A manta tow survey is the observation of an underwater area of good
visibility by a snorkeler who is being pulled by a small boat.Purpose Manta tows are used to get a general idea of the various types and
amounts of habitat types and large obvious things in an area. The information incurred from the survey may be used: To help in the selection of sites and number of samples for closer
observation For comparison wit h local perception of the coastal area In the detection of large scale changes (e.g. due to storms and
mass siltation
Requirements•Mask and snorkel (antipara)•Small boat and fuel•Manta board•Pencil attached to slate•GPS or Compass•Map of the area
![Page 29: Pcra lecture (camotes pcra orientation)](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/5451d949af7959b5648b99b1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Methods1. Copy a map of the area onto a slate 2. On the map, plan and mark the tow survey path 3. Choose the items (e.g. live hard coral, dead coral, soft coral, sand/silt
etc.) to estimate. 4. Attach the manta board to the boat using the rope or if no available
board, the observer may cling unto the boat.5. When the observer (snorkeler) is ready and gives the “ok” signal, tow
the observer parallel and over the reef edge along the area to be surveyed.
6. During each tow, the observer estimates the approximate % cover of the items chosen in step 3. The area viewed is up to 10m wide depending on depth and water clarity.
7. After 2 minutes of towing (around 100 to 150m), the timer should inform the driver and the observer to pause and take notes.
8. The observer then records onto the board the tow number and his/her observations of the last 2-minute tow.
9. Repeat step 5-8 until the entire planned tow path has been surveyed.
10. Copy the data onto the data Form and enclose a copy of the map.

DefinitionSnorkel survey is a method used by a snorkler for estimating the relative abundance of living and non-living things on the reef bottom observed within a defined area.
PurposeThe snorkler survey estimates the abundabce of hard corals, dead corals, algae, and various reef substrates which may reflect the health of the reef.
Requirements• Mask & snorkel (antipara)• 50-m transect line• Underwater slates• Pencil attached to the slates• Fins and life jacket (optional)• Picture book of plants or animal types to be quantified• boat
Snorkel Survey

Methods1. Select representative sampling stations to be
surveyed/monitored based on the manta tow results.
2. Copy the data Form 4A (with the selected benthic lifeform types) onto the plastic slates used for writing underwater)
3. Lay the transect line on a constant depth contour. Record the depth
4. Starting at one of the transect line, the snorkeler swims over the transect estimating the % cover of each benthic life form w/in 2.5 m on either side of the transect until the 5-m mark. The estimates of each 5 x 5 m quadrat should total 100%
5. Similarly record each 5-m interval until the entire 50-m transect line has been observed.
6. Add the 10 readings and divide by 10

Fish Visual CensusDefinitionFish visual census is the identification and counting of fishes observed within a defined area.PurposeFish visual census can be used to estimate the variety, numbers, and even sizes of common, easily-seen, easily-identified fishes in areas of good visibility.Requirements•Mask and snorkel (Antipara)•1 or 2 (50-m) transect lines•Underwater slates•Pencil (attached to the slate)•fins (optional)•Picture book of animals (e.g. reef fishes) to be counted•Boat (optional)

Methods
1. Select representative sampling stations and fish types to be census 2. Copy the data Form (for FVC) onto the slates and draw columns for different
size classes. 3. Lay the transect line on a constant depth contour. Record the depth 4. Wait 10-15 minutes for the disturbed fishes to return. Be careful not to
disturb the fishes during the census. 5. Starting at one end of the line, each observer floats on each side of the
transect line while observing 5m to his/her side of the transect and forward until the next 5m mark.
6. Both observers swim to and stop every 5m along the line to record the counts of fish per size class until the transect is completed.
7. Total counts on both sides and transcribe onto Data Form (for FVC).
8. Standardize the subtotal by sample size: Divide the total counts by the number of transect actually observed
Example: (Parrotfish)12+8+9+20+6 = 11 fishes/transect 5 transects

Requirements• Mask and snorkel (/Antipara)• 100-m rope (approx. 10mm diameter marked at every 10-m)• Pencil (attached to the slate)• Underwater slates• Geographic Positioning System receiver (GPS) or compass• Map of the area• Quadrat (1m x 1m)Methods1. Select representative sampling stations to be surveyed/monitored2. Record the position of each transect. The start (shore end) of the transect is
the most useful reference3. Survey at least 3 replicate transect at each site. Swim the transect along perpendicular to the shore. The length of the transect depends on the size of the seagrass meadows, and should extend to
outer limits of the bed (where seagrass disappears). 4. Place the quadrat to every interval of 10m along the transect.
5. Estimate the % cover of the plants (per species) found in each quadrat and tally it
on the slate board. The sum of the% per species should have an equivalent of 100% in every quadrat.6. Transfer data to the Form and calculate the mean percentage cover in each species.

Seagrass AssessmentDefinitionSeagrass assessment is the identification and estimation of seagrass species covering within a defined area.
PurposeSeagrass assessment is used to more precisely estimate the abundance of seagrass species which may reflect the health of the reef.
What is a Seagrass?A seagrass is a flowering plant, complete with leaves, a rhizome and a root system. They are found in marine or estuarine waters. Most seagrass species are located in soft (silty or sandy) sediments. Seagrasses worldwide encompass only about 58 species (Kuo and McComb, 1989).
Benefits derived from seagrass beds:> Helps reduce wave and current energy> Help to filter suspended sediments from the water;> Stabilize bottom sediments> Breeding area for selected fish species
> Used as processing feritilizers Seaweeds
> Consumed as food Seaweeds
Threats to seagrass beds:> Siltation and sedimentation> Overharvesting> Pollution

Economic benefits from fisheries and coastal ecosystems
Municipal fisheries- food security and livelihood
Total fishery production per fishery sector
• comprise ~32% of total fisheryproduction
Contribution to employment per fishery sector
• provides employment to 5% of thenational labor force; ~68% involvedin municipal fisheries
