On March 22, 2026, in celebration of World Water Day with the theme โ€œWater and Gender: Where water flows, equality grows,โ€ various activities were conducted to promote environmental sustainability and highlight the importance of inclusive and equitable water resource management.

In compliance with Memorandum No. 2026-0319 issued by the Office of the Governor of the Provincial Government of Bohol, all City and Municipal Mayors were enjoined to actively support and participate in the said celebration.

In response, the municipalities of Ubay, Loboc, Dauis, Danao, and Clarin carried out several community-based initiatives. These included river clean-up drives, where local government personnel, community members, and volunteers worked together to remove waste and restore the cleanliness and natural flow of waterways. Mangrove planting activities were also conducted in designated coastal areas to strengthen shoreline protection, enhance marine ecosystems, and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.

The collective participation of these municipalities reflects their strong commitment to the directive of the Provincial Government, as well as their shared responsibility in safeguarding water resources. Moreover, these activities reinforced the importance of gender-inclusive participation in environmental programs, ensuring that both women and men play active roles in fostering sustainable and resilient communities.

From March 23 to 27, 2026, the Bohol Provincial Environment Management Office (BPEMO), through its Coastal Resource Management (CRM) Division, actively participated in the conduct of the Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) in the Municipality of Anda, Bohol. The activity was undertaken as a key component in support of the Coastal Resource Management (CRM) Plan Formulation of the municipality.

The activity was conducted in collaboration with partner agencies and institutions, including DENR CENROโ€“Tagbilaran, DENR CENROโ€“Talibon, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Bohol Island State University (BISU) Candijay Campus, CLEC 6, Peace Corps volunteers, volunteers from Holy Name University (HNU), and the Local Government Unit of Anda through its Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO).

Throughout the five-day activity, the team conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with local stakeholders to gather socio-environmental information, alongside field assessments of coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangrove ecosystems. These assessments aimed to evaluate the current condition of coastal and marine resources and identify key environmental issues affecting the area.

The data and findings generated from the PCRA will serve as a vital baseline in the formulation of the municipalityโ€™s CRM Plan, guiding evidence-based strategies and interventions for the sustainable management, protection, and conservation of Andaโ€™s coastal and marine ecosystems.

The association, which has been actively planting Bakhaw mangrove species since 2018, aims to further strengthen its contribution to the preservation and conservation of mangrove forests in their barangay. In line with their Mangrove Forest Rehabilitation Program for 2026, the group sought technical guidance on the proper germination of Pagatpat seedlings.

A presentation on the importance of mangroves and the threats affecting mangrove ecosystems was conducted to deepen the participantsโ€™ understanding of the value of mangrove forests. This was followed by a demonstration on the proper propagation and germination of quality Pagatpat seedlings, where BPEMO personnel provided practical guidance and techniques to ensure successful seedling production.

The activity was successfully conducted and well received by the members of the association, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to properly implement their mangrove planting project for this year.

On March 11, 2026, the Coastal Resource Management Division of the Bohol Provincial Environment Management Office (BPEMO) joined and facilitated a Focus Group Discussion in the Municipality of Jagna together with DENR CENRO Tagbilaran. The activity was led by the Local Government Unit of Jagna.

Participants came from the barangay council, fisherfolk associations, fish vendors, private sector, and other stakeholders from the coastal barangays of Can-upao, Bunga Mar, and Looc.

The discussion is part of the ongoing Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment of the municipality. Through the FGD, participants were able to share their actual experiences, challenges, and observations about their coastal areas. It also opened conversations on common concerns such as fishing practices, resource use, and changes they have noticed over time.

The information gathered during the activity will be used as part of the basis in updating Jagnaโ€™s Coastal Resource Management Plan.
