With the establishment of a marine sanctuary, the refrained fishing in the area resulted to regeneration of resources therefore expected increased of fish yield is seen within and outside the sanctuary.

Replication of Project Activities:
The implementation of this project will orient fishers on the process of integrating coastal resource protection while doing income generating alternative livelihoods. It will be realized by involving marginalized and responsible fishers in adjoining barangays in the project activities from pre-implementation to post-implementation phases.

This project can be replicated in adjoining barangays of Caramay, Roxas namely, Zaballa, Tinitian, San Miguel and Jolo. These barangays have declared marine sanctuary and are also facing the vicious cycle of poverty, resource degradation and illegal fishing.

Project Sustainability:
The sustainability of this project is based on the sustainability of its components. For the monitoring and apprehension, it is ensured by the municipal and barangay government, through its Annual Investment Plan (salaries and transportation expenses) for the continuous operation of the cooperative-led fish wardens in the implementation of the sanctuary management plan. Building partnerships and coordination with fishers in the adjoining barangays is another way that this project will become sustainable in terms of monitoring and apprehension of illegal fishing activities.

The proceeds derived from the alternative livelihood projects, and the guaranteed increase in fish yield with the marine sanctuary projects are the sustainability elements on the part of MMCPC as the lead implementing agecnies.

This project and its pro-environment and income-generating benefits will encourage the National and Local Government Units, NGOs, and community-based organizations to allocate funds and/or support implementation of the same or similar projects in areas with similar conditions.
