Abstract
This chapter discusses the training and management of marine coastal mangrove dwellers for climate change in an island in the Philippines. The role of mangroves and how knowledge on the biodiversity and awareness of the local coastal-dwelling communities can be enhanced are addressed in this chapter for the effective implmentation of trainings and management on poverty alleviation, biobelting, bioarmoring and rehabilitation of mangroves for tidal surges and tsunamis. Drawing on the various research-extension or community engagement on mangrove biodiversity, utillization and consevation of mangrove ecosystems, appropriate initiatives on fisheries resource management and mangrove rehabilitation were designed, developed and implemented in the island of Catanduanes in support of the growing scholarship on citizen science, co-management and the links of biodiversity conservation with poverty alleviation. Extensive studies were done on the political ecology of mangrove conservation, gender equity in in community-managed marine spaces (CMMS), climate change information and academecommunity co-management for science-based Sustainable Use of Marine Resources and Community-Based Mangrove Biodiversity Conservation or SURMABIOCON funded by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education- National Agriculture and Fisheries Extension System (CHED-NAFES). This program specifically embarked on “mangrovization” (=planting/rehabilitation) for the local coastal mangrove dwellers to build climate resiliency and introduce solutions in the coastal villages through university-led trainings and mangrove resource management projects. The suggestions, recommendations, experiences, and lessons learned for engaging women, children, youth, and fisherfolk in this biodiversity-focused program on SURMABIOCON are cited here to include among others the needs, some obstacles, and planned initiatives on research, community development, stakeholder engagements, and governance.
