REECS developed and compared alternative scenarios on the projected impacts of proposed land reclamations in the Manila Bay and LPPCHEA, emphasizing the changes in the provisioning of biodiversity and ecosystem services. We presented recommendations or instruments to address policy gaps based on the model analysis. In convening the stakeholders from LGUs, national government agencies, academe, and private sector, REECS sought to widen awareness on the various sectoral impacts of land reclamation.

REECS provided project management and technical assistance to the USAID in terms of planning, data gathering, socio-economic monitoring, modelling, analysis, and resource assessment. We facilitated inter-government collaboration, trainings, and campaigns on ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) in selected marine key biodiversity areas nationwide; helped improve women’s status in fisheries; and helped address site gaps in sustainable fisheries management.

REECS estimates the contribution of geothermal operation to the local economy and develops a tool to assist EDC in periodically assessing these contributions.
