RING  \nWinnipeg, Manitoba, Canada  \nThe local management of mangrove resources in Cogtong Bay, Philippines, dates back to the 1940s and 1950s when some families informally designated mangrove areas under their care and management. The 1960s and 1970s saw several exogenous events that led to the progressive denudation of mangrove stands and the decline in fish catch per fishing trip. This article draws attention to the forces that prompted coastal villages and external agents to collaborate with the national and local government units in resource rehabilitation. It also assesses the performance of a coastal resources comanagement project at Cogtong Bay.  \nKeywords comanagement, mangrove rehabilitation, Philippines  \nIntroduction  \nStarting in the 1980s, community-based coastal resource management (CBCRM) and comanagement projects were initiated in the Philippines by government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and academic institutions. These projects advocated the increased participation of resource users in management. Since 1984, over 140 CBCRM and comanagement projects (primarily relating to fisheries, mangroves, and coral reefs) have been implemented in the Philippines (Pomeroy & Carlos, 1997) . Some of these were small projects, limited to specific localities, while others were large, being regional or national in coverage. Most of the small projects have been implemented in cooperation  \nReceived July 1998; accepted December 1998.  \nThis article was prepared under the auspices of the ICLARM/IFM collaborative research project on Fisheries Co-management funded by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) . Special thanks go to Emmanuel Genio, Josella Mayordomo, and Maricel Gamo of ICLARM for their assistance, as well as to ACIPHIL, Network Foundation, village leaders, fishers’organizations, and various officials in Bohol, Philippines who made this case study possible.

CBCRM has become a popular approach for addressing the pressing issues of poverty and depletion of coastal resources. It is a departure from the centralized, top-down, and nonparticipatory orientation that marked natural resources management in the Philippines in the past (Sajise, 1995) .  \nThe case of Cogtong
