Activities

LLDA was created by Republic Act No. 4850 (as amended by Presidential Decree 813), An Act Creating The Laguna Lake Development Authority, Prescribing Its Powers, Functions and Duties Providing Funds Thereof, and Other Purposes. It is the primary agency that maintains and protects the water resources of the Laguna Lake through various programs and policies.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

LLDA puts into action systems and programs such as Environmental User Fee System (EUFS), Public Disclosure Program (PDP), the Appropriation and Utilization of Surface Waters (Surface Waters), and the Compliance Assistance Centers (CAC) for the management of the lake waters and tributaries that flow into the Lake, to ensure their proper use and maintenance for the sustainability of the ecosystem.

WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS

To abate the further degradation of the Laguna de Bay Watershed, the LLDA instituted various programs and strategies for reforestation of the denuded watersheds. Part of these programs and strategies are the Laguna de Bay Community Carbon Finance Project (LDBCCFP), participation in the National Greening Program (NGP), the River Rehabilitation Program, and the Shoreland Management Program.

 

ZONING AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (ZOMAP)

Through the ZOMAP, lake resources are equitably delineated and allocated to various users for aquaculture operations, navigation, and open fishing. At the national level, the aquaculture operations in Laguna de Bay contributes significantly to fishery production (Israel, 2008).

Lake productivity is further improved through the maintenance of Rayap Fish Sanctuary in Talim Island, Rizal; Tabon Fish Sanctuary near Calamba, Laguna; and the Muntinlupa Fish Sanctuary in Muntinlupa City. With the assistance of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, regular lake seedings are conducted in these sanctuaries.

LLDA is assisted by the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils, Philippine National Police, Coast Guard, and other groups in the enforcement of fishery laws, rules and regulations in Laguna de Bay

 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

The LLDA serves to maintain and improve the ecosystem of the Lake and the Region for sustainability, while taking into consideration the importance of the development of the people and community surrounding Laguna de Bay through community-based projects. LLDA continuously works not just to protect the environment, but also to help improve the economy and the lives of the residents within the Region through various livelihood projects.

 

RESEARCH PROGRAMS

In support of LLDA’s mandate and various programs, the Decision Support System (DSS) and Water Quality Monitoring (WQM) Program are implemented to aid in monitoring and relevant policy decision-making.

The DSS, introduced by the Royal Government of the Netherlands through a funding for the Sustainable Development of Laguna de Bay Environment (SDLBE) Project in 2000, integrates state-of-the-art software tools to provide an adequate scientific description of the Laguna de Bay water system (catchment and lake).
