The findings of the study will serve as the basis to propose measures to enhance the community extension program of LIMA. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. The program design is perceived highly effective in developing an agenda on participatory coastal management, conserving the environment and has the potential to lessen the risks of acquiring diseases while less effective in providing opportunities for extra income.
