The Area Development Plan aims to look at the current situation of the influence areas, determine how the fishery sector is doing, how the Visayan Sea is coping, identify means for sustaining its resources for generations to come, decide what infrastructure support needs to be introduced, and ascertain the organizational set-up that must be established to institutionalize the coordination, management, and regulatory system that the influence areas of the Visayan Sea will need. Also, proposed interventions present opportunities to explore the potentials of public-private partnerships in the priority concerns and recommendations identified which would be beneficial to the LGUs in the area given their limited fiscal resources.
