Buffer Zones. - Buffer zones of not more than one (1) kilometer wide from the boundaries of the NSMNP, except those bordering the Province of Cagayan, are hereby established. The municipal water boundary stretch along the boundary of the protected area is likewise hereby established as a buffer zone.
The buffer zones are established for the purpose of providing an extra layer of protection around the protected area in which restrictions can apply but where sustainable resource management strategies involving local communities and the private sector can assist in repelling threats to the protected area. Such buffer zones shall be managed according to the management plan as herein provided.
