Continuous communication and education
Through community consultations, the LGU and non-government organizations regularly update the communities on policies and reminds them of the possible impact if the lagoon is degraded. Dialogue on issues and discussions on solutions happen during these community consultations. Information, Education and Communication materials in brochure form are handed out and posters are placed in strategic locations.

- Community commitment on resource management and conservation depends on their level of understanding of the actual situation of their environment, ability to recognize the social and economic impacts of degraded resources, and acknowledging that they have the capacity to make their environment better.
