Protecting Green Island
Prepared by: Augusto B. Agosto Program Manager
Proposal for Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction and
Adaptation Project
Green Island is facing a climate change, sea level rise, and strong cyclone
vegetation on
the steep mountain slopes and
along shoreline
Coral Reefs and Wetlands
RISK MAPPING: Current Hazards and Exposed Areas
Proposed Seawall
Since people settled in the southern to southeast
portion of the island
Non-structural
There should be non-structural projects such as providing early warning device and monitoring and securing the vegetation upland and the mangroves.
Planting mangroves to protect communities against typhoons and sea level rise have been proven many times. The best example was the experience of Vietnam where a community was able to survive from a typhoon. They planted early 12,000 hectares of trees and able to support the 3,000 kilometer sea dike.

The cost of planting mangroves will be lesser when we tap the communities settling in the island. It will not only protect them from typhoons and flooding, but also give livelihood benefits thru boosting of fish habitat and attracting tourism in the future. They can also harvest the leaves of the mangroves and make for additional living for the populace.
The monitoring and enforcement of the newly planted mangroves in wetland area will be shouldered by the community thru cooperatives. We will just invest in trainings and seminars to convince them of the benefits of planting and maintaining
mangroves and stream buffers.
Source of Livelihood
The engineering solution to the problems gain
support since we are accustomed to it and we
have limited experience with the ecosystem
based adaptation.
But, in terms of cost-benefit and long term
benefits, Eco-DRR and Eba coupled with other
structural projects will protect the island from
climate change, flooding, strong cyclone and
other hazard events and provide viable and long
term livelihood source for the people.
Thank you.
