ABSTRACT

This study determined the level of awareness and practices on Coastal Resource Management of public secondary teachers in the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. A descriptive research design was used in this study, and the statistical tools that were used to gather and treat data were frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and bivariate correlation analysis. Results of the study showed that the respondents were much aware of Coastal Resource Management with respect to the degradation of coastal habitats, overfishing, and open access to fishery resources, coastal law enforcement, and resource use of conflict and pollution. The respondents often practiced Coastal Resource Management with respect to the degradation of coastal habitats, overfishing and open access to fishery resources, coastal law enforcement, and resource use of conflict and pollution. Age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, and religious affiliation had a significant relationship with the level of awareness, while teachers' rank and sources of information had no significant relationship with the level of awareness on Coastal Resource Management. On the other hand, age, educational attainment, rank, monthly income, and sources of information (printed and broadcast) had a significant relationship with the level of practice, while sex, civil status, religious affiliation, and sources of information (printed) had no significant relationship with the level of practice on Coastal Resource Management. Moreover, age, civil status, educational attainment, rank, and sources of information had a significant relationship with the level of awareness and level of practice, while sex, religious affiliation, and sources of information (printed) had no significant relationship with the level of awareness and level of practice on Coastal Resource Management.
