2.) Refined Risk Assessment2.) Refined Risk AssessmentRefined Risk Assessment is a process of estimating the livelihood of harm being done to human health and in ecosystem through factors a emanating from human activities
Bio-ecological assessment of resources established a clear evidence of declines for fisheries , shellfish and mangroves
Physico-chemical assessment should high level of total and fecal coliform, phospate, and heavy metals
served as a valuable reference in the development ofsucceeding plans (i.e. Operational Plan, IEMP,AdComP, Resource Valuation, EnvironmentalInvestment, Coastal Land and Sea-Use Plan, Oil SpillContingency Plan, IIMS and Manila Bay Atlas

Handles a large data set on marine and coastal resources, (socio-economic and demographic features of Manila Bay )
Useful in the development and verification of predictive models for use in risk assessment and management
Accessible through the internet
Establishment of manila bay Information Network (S.O. No. 315 and 240 )
Development of Manila bay atlas
• Biological and bio-resources
fish, aquaculture, seaweed and seagrass resources, coral reef survey, benthos, plankton, wetlands and forestry
Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) and the Manila Bay Information Network (MBIN)
• Social and economic data
fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, forest, mining, port, industries, tourism, commercial, institutional, utilities
• Demographic data
Population, income, health, education
• Institutional data
government, sectors, plansdata
• Pollution sources

Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is thelead agency for its development
Adopted for implementation byd i th MOU i dconcerned agencies thru MOU signed
during the 6th PCC meeting inNovember 13, 2006 defining the rolesand the responsibilities ofparticipating agencies
7.7. Stakeholders ParticipationStakeholders Participation
Stakeholders participation iscarried out in the developmentof the ario s plans for Manilaof the various plans for ManilaBay and activities such as:
coastal clean up,environmental monitoring,habitat rehab (mangroves,wetlands for migratorybirds, etc.) andyouth fora in differentschools and universities
88. Coastal Land & Sea. Coastal Land & Sea--Use Zoning Use Zoning PlanPlan
Developed to demonstrate theapplication of coastal land and
Coastal Land and Sea-Use Zoning Plan
application of coastal land andsea–use zoning in resolvingmultiple resource-use conflict inthe coastal area
Provides a regulatory frameworkof permitting and delineation of
Province of Bataan2006
coastal activities according to thedesignated use of coastal space
Developed in the Province ofBataan as a pilot site.
9.9. EEnvironmental IInvestments
Public Private Partnerships (PPPS) approach was adopted in the development and implementation of investments program.
Feasibility studies were developed on Integrated Solid Waste Management in the Province of Bataan and in the City of San F d P )Fernando, Pampanga)
The change of administration, leadership, lack of willingness to implement a users fee system, however hampered the process.

PROJECT OUTCOMESOne of the important contribution of the project was laying downthe foundations to achieve sustainable development andmanagement of Manila Bay though the following:
1. Signing of the Manila Bay Declaration
The Manila Bay Declaration is a public declaration of commitment bystakeholders to work individually and collectively for the sustainabledevelopment and management of Manila Bay, signed in October2001 with her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo aswitness.
2. Project Coordinating Committee (PCC) Resolution 06-01
This Resolution was signed on May 10, 2006 by members of the Project Coordinating Committee (PCC) chaired by DENR which approved the endorsement of the OPMBCS to NEDA for incorporation to the Philippine Medium Term
3. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Implementation of the 5-year Integrated Environmental Monitoring Program
The MOU which defines the roles, specific areas of monitoring and theprotocol to be observed in the implementation of the 5-year IEMP. wassigned by the PCC members and other concerned agencies on 13November 2006 (Annex XI)
4. Memorandum of Understanding on the Implementation of Oil SpillContingency Plan
The MOU defines the roles and responsibilities of participating agencies fora timely and effective response to oil spills. This was signed on 13November 2006 (Annex XII)
5. PCC Resolution 06-02
This resolution transformed the Manila Bay Project CoordinatingCommittee, or PCC into the Manila Bay Coordinating Committee orMBCC to strengthen the coordinative roles in the management of ManilaBay, and more towards institutionalization and sustainability. (Annex XIII)
6. DENR Special Order No. 315 series of 2005 as amended bySpecial Order No. 2007-240 dated March 16, 2007 Creating themanila Bay Information Network .
These special orders were issued to strengthen support in themanagement of the Manila Bay Region through the application of anIntegrated Information Management System (IIMS) which providea timely data recording and updating of information for coastaland marine environment (Annex XIV)
7. Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2007-28
Institutionalizing the MBEMP within the DENR throughthe implementation of the OPMBCS.
– Established the MBRBCO within the DENR under thesupervision of the River Basin Control Office (RBCO)that will serve as the Secretariat to the MBCC
