    Saving the coast starts with addressing three key issues: illegal groundwater extraction, coastal erosion, and declining fisheries. Illegal groundwater extraction lowers water tables and contributes to sea level rise, inundating coastal areas. Coastal erosion damages infrastructure and destroys vegetation as it causes the long-term loss of sediments along the coast. Declining fisheries impact livelihoods as fish stocks decrease and fishermen must travel farther, increasing costs. Solutions include education on responsible extraction, research on protective infrastructure, capacity building, and technology transfer to support sustainable livelihoods. Regulatory challenges also need addressing.

    Challenges
    Regulatory disempowerment from local elites and outside
    organizations/corporations contributes to civil deviance and decreases
    the chances for locals to engage as regulators.

    Perverse incentives such as water subsidies that encourage excessive


    use may dissuade locals from abiding by the existing regulations.

    The declining value of production in agriculture and fisheries by


    -0.6 percent in the second quarter of 2022 depletes fisheries and
    disempowers fisherfolk and worsens overexploited status of many
    Philippine fish species, particularly commercially important, large-
    bodied reef fish species (Go et al., 2015).
