Outline of Cave/Wetland Management Plans
BMB Technical Bulletin No. 010-16 outlines the requirements for preparing cave and wetland management plans in accordance with the National Caves and Cave Resources Management and Protection Act and related DENR regulations. It mandates that each classified cave must have a management plan that adheres to a specified outline to ensure uniformity in information presentation. For caves and wetlands designated as protected areas under the National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS), the plans must align with the Protected Area Management Plan guidelines. Additionally, for those not yet classified as protected areas, the DENR encourages following ecotourism planning and management procedures. This bulletin serves to guide stakeholders in the development and implementation of these management plans.
