  • 50 Rhythm of the Sea CHAPTER 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS 51
    50 Rhythm of the Sea CHAPTER 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS 51 Chapter 5 ECONOMIC SECTORS he economy of northwestern Bohol is not well diversified and resulting incomes are low. Reliance on the sea and land makes changes in the natural base of the area readily apparent in local incomes. Fisheries and agriculture are the mainstays of the local economy, while smaller t industries have yet to make a substantial impact. Ecotourism and well- managed aquaculture have income-generating potential but have gained foothold only recently. FISHERIES Fisherfolk's Attitudes and Beliefs Fishing is a subsistence livelihood in the profile area and many people start to work in the sea in their younger years. Quite seasonal, fishing peaks from March to June when there are large runs of pelagics (Spanish mackerels, scads, etc.) mostly in the south, east and west of Bohol. The fisherfolk observe that most species are gravid during this period and that, because the weather is calm and the water is warm, the fish rise to the water surface. During this period also, fishers from Mindanao are sighted within the province’s seawater boundary. On the other hand, the subsistence fishermen just look at the sky or feel the wind to know whether or not the time is right for fishing. Christmas day, Good Friday and other religious holidays are no-fishing days in Bohol. Fishing on Sundays is also sometimes frowned upon, although many people go to the beach with the family and catch fish for kinilaw (raw fish dipped in vinegar, salt and spices). 52 Rhythm of the Sea Most fisherfolk and their households are superstitious.
