Participatory 3D Model of the Danajon Bank, Bohol, Philippines
This 1:10,000 scale 3D model with 2X vertical exaggeration, was completed in July 2006. It depicts the vast Danajon Bank in Bohol, Philippines. The Danajon Bank is a double barrier reef in the Philippines. One of only six double barrier reefs in the world, Danajon Bank runs for 156 km in the Central Visayas, around the following islands: Bohol, Cebu, and Leyte.
The model covers a total area of 480 km2. It was manufactured by local stakeholders in the framework of the Fisheries Improved for Sustainable Harvest (FISH) Project a (2003-2010) conservation initiative funded by USAID which focused on small-scale fisheries and coastal resource management.
The P3DM process was initiated as part of the information and education campaign and to help the Talibon local government develop and establish a Fisheries and Coastal Resource Management Interpretive Center.
