The 1960s and 1970s saw several exogenous events that led to the progressive denudation of mangrove stands and the decline in fish catch per fishing trip. This article draws attention to the forces that prompted coastal villages and external agents to collaborate with the national and local government units in resource rehabilitation. It also assesses the performance of a coastal resources comanagement project at Cogtong Bay.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightEcosystem managementEcosystemMarine aquacultureAquatic ecosystemsEnvironmental impactsConservationSustainabilityNatural resource managementAquacultureCo-managementMangroveRehabilitationThe PhilippinesEcosystem Governance WatershedAbstractCopyright 2000 by Taylor & Francis Grouphttps://doi.org/10.1080/089207500263620
