Danjugan Island Marine Reserve and Sanctuaries
(DIMRS)

The DIMRS was created through the Municipal Ordinance 99-52 and was formally established in April 2000.  The DIMRS is part of PRRCFI’s SNCDP-PACE project which aimed to provide the following:

• Information on the fish stocks and benthic life in the reserve to improve existing management options
• Data for fish catch and landing monitoring to indirectly assess the impacts of the marine reserve upon the local fishing community.
• Increase local manpower and knowledge by training the local fisher folk to conduct surveys for both underwater surveys and fish catch and landing monitoring.
• Additional training of the Local Government Unit personnel and fisheries students in baseline survey and reef monitoring.
• Packaged information on reef resources and fisheries for the community to use in planning their reserve and sanctuaries.
