McManus has done extensive work on community-based participatory planning in the Philippines, with a focus at local governance level. Coastal development plans in the towns of Bolinao and Bani in northern Philippines were legislated in 1998 and in 2000 as a result of this pioneering work. At the national level, McManus was a co-author of the “Terms of Reference for the Preparation of a National Master Plan for Coastal and Marine Resources Development and Management” for the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources. At the regional scale of Southeast Asia, she conducted a transboundary diagnostic analysis of the South China Sea, as well as coordinated a 7-country initiative to examine the social and economic root causes of water-related problems and concerns in the region. This work formed the basis of a Global Environment Facility (GEF)-sponsored project to sustainably manage the coastal and ocean resources of the South China Sea. At the global scale, McManus is involved in analyzing both the biophysical and socioeconomic bases for a worldwide coastal typology as member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) Project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP).
