The Philippines' Laguna Lake Development Authority abbreviated as LLDA is one of the attached agency of the Philippines's Department of Environment and Natural Resources responsible in the preservation, development and sustainability of the Laguna de Bay and its 21 tributary rivers.

History

The Laguna Lake Development Authority was established in 1966 as a quasi-government agency that leads, promotes, and accelerates sustainable development in the Laguna de Bay Region [cite web | publisher = Asian Environmental Compliance & Enforcement Network (AECEN) | title = LLDA Mandate | url= http://www.aecen.org/members/agencies/llda.htm | accessdate = 2007-03-02 ] . Regulatory and law-enforcement functions are carried out with provisions on environmental management, particularly on water quality monitoring, conservation of natural resources, and community-based natural resource management [cite web | publisher = Philippine Economic Zone Authority | title = LLDA Permits and Guidelines | url= http://environment.peza.gov.ph/permits_llda.php | accessdate = 2007-03-02 ] .

On January 29, 2008, the Mamamayan Para sa Pagpapanatili ng Pagpapaunlad ng Lawa ng Laguna (Mapagpala) accused the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) for the deterioration of Laguna Lake, the largest Philippine lake and the second largest inland freshwater lake in Southeast Asia due to multiplication of fish pens beyond the allowable limit.
