  3. Establishment of a protected marine sanctuary, 
  4. Clean, coastal waters without any garbage or industrial effluents flowing to the sea

The DA-BFAR Technical Working Group collaborated with the Caraga Inter-Agency Technical Evaluation Team through  an objective desk review and  field evaluation purposely to identify the most deserving winner.

Meanwhile, the MMK is a banner program of the DA-BFAR that highlights sustainable fisheries development and environmental protection and seeks to recognize LGUs with outstanding coastal management practices. (NGPB/with the report from DA-BFAR/PIA-Surigao del Sur)
