Stakeholders needed to improve in tubbataha reef

 Understanding the local community. Local people have been hit the hardest by the negative
environmental, cultural, and social consequences of unsustainable tourism development.
Traditional communities and indigenous people can play an important role in biodiversity
conservation, but this has only recently been recognized, and important issues such as
participation, land and resource use, and democracy must still be addressed in the context of
tourism development. Local governments play an important role as moderators and facilitators
of empowerment for local communities. Experience with top-down approaches to protected
area management has shown that excluding local people can undermine biodiversity
conservation efforts. Similarly, tourism development approaches that do not consider local
people's priorities can be undermined by civil unrest, hostility toward tourists, and decreased
safety for tourists.
 The tourist/ visitor recreation. Dive tour boats are well managed, but if there are too many of
them, they can detract from visitor satisfaction and have an impact on the reef ecosystem.
Divers' physical damage to corals and nutrient waste from dive boats can both increase their
vulnerability to disease. Despite the fact that a tourism plan has been completed, it does not
adequately address dive tourism, the reef's dominant use. If not monitored, this could have
serious cumulative effects, especially given the country's reliance on tourism for revenue and
the pressure to increase visitation as a result. All dive boats must now have holding tanks where
wastewater can be treated and discharged. At predetermined distances from the reefs, reducing
nutrient waste. A carrying capacity study funded by the German development bank KfW was
supposed to be completed in 2020, but it has been pushed back to 2021. Once a basis for
determining tourism numbers is established, park officials intend to limit visitor numbers before
over-tourism occurs (IUCN Consultation, 2020b).
 Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park needs to improve its employees because there has been a
problem with a lack of park rangers since its inception. Many things can go wrong in this
situation such as Illegal fishing from communities on mainland Palawan is a problem because it
targets endangered or threatened species with high commercial value.
 Tourists. since they visit sites, spend money, and may promote them through word of mouth
and social media if they have a favorable experience.
