Plan Checklist
A CRM plan for
any area, barangay, municipality or city or multi-municipal area requires
basic contents to make a good plan. The essential parts of a good plan
are:
-
Description of the area provides background information. This can
include geography, demography, important coastal resources and their
condition, socio-economic status of people, institutions and laws
and other relevant information for management. Use graphs and tables.
- Maps
of different scales needed. Include a map of the entire area and detailed
maps of the coastal area with resource locations and use patterns,
existing management interventions and other data.
- Management
issues must be clearly stated along with their contributing causes
and factors. Trends in decline of resources can be used to illustrate
issues of concern.
- Goals
and objectives should be derived from the main issues. The goal is
broad while each objective must be achievable and measurable within
the 3-5 year-life of the plan.
- Strategies
and actions are the heart of the plan. One strategy and several actions
with assigned responsibilities should address each major issue. A
strategy is a well-conceived means to solve a problem. The actions
implement the strategy. Actions can be budgeted.
- Institutional
and legal framework is needed to support plan implementation. This
section explains what institution is responsible and how it is supported
by the law.
- Timeline
for implementation helps organize all responsible parties to implement
the plan.
- Monitoring
and evaluation must be included as a set of activities to provide
feedback on plan implementation and impact on environment.
