The Coastal Resource Management Project (CRMP) of the Philippine Government supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has only until 2001 to go. CRMP is implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) which is a five-year project that largely depends on full participation of coastal communities. The project gives technical assistance and support especially to the coastal communities to attain efficiency in managing our coastal resources.
