The Provincial Government of Bataan has taken the initial steps in the development of a Coastal-Use Zoning Plan (CUZP) to strengthen the management of coastal areas in the province. The Inception Workshop on CUZP for Bataan held from 8-9 June brought together 73 participants from local government units, various regional government agencies and other provinces within the Manila Bay area to discuss the advantages of a CUZP, study the steps required for its development, and produce an Action Plan to guide the participants in implementing a CUZP project.
