“…Lack of resources on policy implementation is also an alarming challenge that has caused mangrove degradation over the years. A study by (Fathima Mafaziya Nijamdeen et al, 2023) states policy design and implementation needs to consider the diversity of stakeholders and should be flexible enough to include all relevant stakeholders. Local community is considered a major stakeholder which depends on the mangrove's ecosystem for better livelihood.…”

Mangrove management requires an all-inclusive community engagement for sustainability in protection and conservation of mangroves. Previously, community participation was not considered pivotal but the rapid degradation of mangroves has necessitated their participation. Despite much legislation enacted, there are still challenges hindering community participation in Lamu County and this paper seeks to highlight barriers perceived by the various stakeholders in mangrove management. The study used a mixed methods approach to answer both qualitative and quantitative research questions and a correlational research design to explore all variables. The study shows that only 60% of the respondents agreed that there is lack of enforcement in mangrove conservation through community participation. However, less than 50% agreed on the challenges of lack of good management in mangroves (46%), lack of implementation mechanisms on mangrove conservation (47%) and lack of consultation in decision-making processes for mangrove conservation (36%). This demonstrates that lack of enforcement is the greatest challenge to the implementation of standards for mangrove conservation.

Objectives: To determine the awareness of mangrove ecosystem services, uses of mangroves, awareness of mangrove management strategies, and challenges of households in Maliwaliw Island, Salcedo, Eastern Samar, Philippines. Methods: A survey was conducted using an interview schedule to determine the households' awareness of the mangrove ecosystem services and mangrove management strategies in Maliwaliw Island, Salcedo, Eastern Samar. Moreover, a mangrove management problem confrontation index (MMPCI) was also created to describe the mangrove management challenges in Maliwaliw Island. About 99 households completed and participated in the survey. Results were analyzed using appropriate descriptive statistical tools, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the selected socio-demographic characteristics of households and their awareness of the mangrove ecosystem services. Findings: Results showed that the households were very aware of the ecosystem services they directly experience on the island, e.g., coastal protection from typhoons (3.09), coastal protection from wave action and storm surge (3.07), and coastal protection from strong winds (3.03). Education, income, and years of stay have a weak correlation with several mangrove ecosystem services, implying that enhancing education and income over time may help improve the community's awareness of the importance of mangroves in sustaining their livelihood, well-being, and survival. The awareness of the mangrove ecosystem services is critical in enhancing the community's appreciation of their role in sustaining their livelihood and survival and engagement in conservation efforts. Moreover, the households identified typhoons and storm surges as the first two challenges in mangrove management, with a PC index of 249 and 255, respectively, for the island is prone to typhoons. Implementing mangrove management strategies is critical to ensure the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem services and the existence and survival of island communities. Novelty: The paper contributes to the limited studies on the island community's awareness of the mangrove https://www.indjst.org/ 1580
