SP14-3 Enhancing Fishery Resources in Philippine Lakes.Pdf (888.3Kb)
Enhancing the Fishery Resources in Philippine Lakes: The Philippine National Inland Fisheries Enhancement Program Adelaida L. Palma and Virginia M. Bartolome This article is based on the paper presented by Dr. about 106,330 ha of swamplands, 19,000 ha of reservoir and Adelaida L. Palma during the Symposium on Strategy dams, and 31,000 rivers with total area of approximately for Fisheries Resources Enhancement in the Southeast 10,892,300 ha (Pongsri et al., 2015). These resources host Asian Region organized by the Southeast Asian Fisheries some 340 freshwater fishes (Fishbase, 2015), 16% of which Development Center on 27-30 July 2015 in Pattaya, Thailand. In her paper, Dr. Palma discussed the efforts of the Philippines through its Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) – Inland Fisheries Technology Center (IFTC) in enhancing fish production from 36 lakes and reservoirs in the sixteen regions of the country. 7 Specifically, BFAR-IFTC conducts research and develops rehabilitation measures for indigenous freshwater 1 fish species, e.g. Leiopotherapon plumbeus, Anabas 10 3 8 testudineus, Clarias macrocephalus, Ophicephalus 5 striatus. As part of the promotion of its initiatives, BFAR-IFTC established a network of private hatcheries to sustain the fish fingerling requirements. A prototype model of such initiatives is the physical restoration and reconstruction of the fisheries in 7-ha Dagatan Lake. 4 2 9 The Philippines embraces more than 80 lakes with a total area of more than 200,000 ha (Palma, 2016), 10 of which could 6 be considered major lakes in view of their surface areas and economic importance (Box 1, Fig.

VIZCAYA, IPINASARA NG DENR-MGB August 8, 2021 Rannie Lao PINANGUNAHAN ng Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) ang paglansag sa iba’t-ibang gamit sa ilegal na pagmimina sa magkakasunod na operasyon na isinagawa laban sa small-scale mining activities sa bayan ng Quezon, Nueva Vizcaya noong Hulyo 27 hanggang 29 ng kasalukuyang taon. Ang joint operation ay isinagawa ng MGB-Region 2, DENR Region 2, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office-Nueva Vizcaya, Community Environment and Natural Resources Office-Aritao, National Bureau of Investigation-Region 2, Philippine National Police at Armed Forces of the Philippines sa pakikipagtulungan ng FCF Minerals Corporation kung saan ay sinira ng mga ito ang mga gamit tulad ng ball mills, shafting, diesel engines, pulleys at iba pang ginagamit sa illegal-small mining activities sa Barangay Runruno. “In the case of illegal small-scale mining, miners tend to dig and drill with no proper control on extractive operations. These unregulated mining activities pose dangers to the environment, and even to human lives,” pahayag ni DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu. Sa kanyang panig, sinabi ni MGB-Region 2 Director Mario A. Ancheta na ang kawalan ng dokumento, permit o pagpapatunay upang magsagawa ng mining operations at pag-transport ng minerals/mineral products at by-products ay ikinokonsiderang prima facie evidence sa ilegal na pagmimina. “This shall cause the seizure/confiscation of the minerals/mineral products and by-products and the tools, conveyances, and equipment used in the commission of the offense in favor of the government,” paliwanag ni Ancheta.

Magat watershed was declared as a forest-reservation area through Proclamation No. 573 on June 26, 1969 because of its great importance to human survival and environmental balance in the region. The Magat case demonstrates the important role that ‘champions’ like the local government unit (LGU) could play in managing the country’s watersheds. With the Nueva Viscaya province constituting 97% of the Magat watershed, the provincial government was committed to provide a strong management support system to the watershed.
