Masbate City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is currently being updated and aligned with its Vision:
By 2020, a Vibrant Masbate City: The Country's Marine Sanctuary with a sustainably improved economy, clean and green environment, disciplined and productive Masbatenos, governed by a participatory, proactive and responsive leadership
and thru stakeholder consultations, one of the identified development potentials is the enhancement and promotion of Masbate City’s Biodiversity and Ecotourism Triangle.
According to a recent technical study, the Masbate Pass, located between Ticao Island and Masbate City is home to very rich biodiversity composed of the Bugsayon Marine Reserve and Buntod Marine Reserve. Potential tourism areas also located within the city are the Pawa Mangrove Reservation and the Tugbo Watershed Ecopark. These tourism areas can be clustered into Masbate City’s Biodiversity and Ecotourism Triangle.
1. Buntod Sand Bar and Marine Sanctuary—the first established marine sanctuary of the City covering 250 hectares, where live hard and soft coral covers highlights the majestic underwater sceneries; the Tugbo Watershed is a potential ecotourism destination with its lush vegetation, ideal for hiking and camping;
2. Bugsayon Marine Sanctuary—a 50-hectare marine sanctuary where you can see the amazing live corals and diverse marine species; and
3. Pawa Mangrove Ecosystem and Wildlife Park—the City’s biggest area of mangrove growth. Tourists can experience the dramatic scene of the 300 hectares of mangrove plantation along its 1.3 km of boardwalk.
