J~ ACADEMICIAN EMIL Q . JAVIER NAST President and Chair 28th ASM Steering Committee Biological Sciences Division 5 KAST ff~Wty The National Academy of Science and Technology is the symbol of the nation's commitment to science. The proposal for its creation originated from the University of the Philippines and was heartily endorsed by the National Science Development Board (the predecessor-agency of the Department of Science and Technology) to the President of the Philippines. On October 6, 1976, the National Academy of Science was created by Presidential Decree 1003. A subsequent amendment established instead the National Academy of Science and Technology and expanded the base of the NAST membership. The science community was then invited to submit nominations of the most eminent among their number to be members of the Academy. The President of the Philippines named ten scientists representing a wide range of disciplines to be the first Academicians in 1978. Henceforth, nominations have continued to come from the scientific community but their election as Academicians is the prerogative of the members of the Academy alone, following their strict rules of review and selection. Every Member is distinguished, known nationally and internationally in his or her own right. Collectively, the Academy represents the best of what this country has produced in science and technology. The Annual Scientific Meetings started in 1978 and has since earned the distinction of being the most prestigious Philippine scientific conference. The NAST Transactions, composed of papers presented in the ASM, is the annual journal of the Academy. NAST also publishes books and monographs based on studies of its members and other renowned scientists. The Academy is a select group of fifty (50) living members all of whom have made outstanding contributions to science and technology in the Philippines and internationally. They are clustered into six divisions: Agricultural Sciences Division, Biological Sciences Division, Chemical, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division, Engineering Sciences and Technology Division, Health Sciences Division, and Social Sciences Division. From their ranks come the very few who have been conferred the rank and title of National Scientist by the President of the Philippines. They are world-class scientists who have done our country proud through their significant contributions to their chosen fields of scientific inquiry, and who through their original insights and findings have enriched our understanding of the human condition and the material universe around us. Their original contributions are of lasting value to humankind. 6 KAST fftiuulate D To recognize outstanding achievements in science and technology as well as provide meaningful incentives to those engaged in scientific and technological researches (P.D.1003-A) D To advise the President and the Cabinet on matters related to science and technology (E. 0. 818) D To engage in projects and programs designed to recognize outstanding achievements in science and promote scientific productivity (E.O. 818) D To embark on programs traditionally and internationally expected of an academy of science (E. 0. 818) In any nation, the science academy plays an important role as an adviser to the government and the science community. It is the body that the government turns to for objective advice on science and technology. The Academy, through its advisory activities, addresses issues and concerns on S& T at national and local levels.

Campos1* and Porfirio M. Aliño2 1 Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines Visayas (Miag-ao, Iloilo 5023) 2 Marine Science Institute, College of Science University of the Philippines Diliman (Diliman, Quezon City 1101) Abstract This study presents recent advances in the management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Philippine from the mid-1970s, when the first MPA was established, to the present. At present, there are over 1300 established and proposed MPAs in the country. More than 50% of these are less than 10ha in size. As a result, less than 2% of the country’s reef areas are under some level of protection, which is believed to be too low for protective measures to have an impact. In terms of management, only 10-15% of established MPAs are effectively managed. Several challenges are posed by these major shortcomings. Two approaches have recently been initiated to address these. The MPA Support Network (MSN) was recently established to link various efforts and initiatives in managing MPAs in the different regions of the country. There are also recent efforts of developing schemes for truly science-based establishment of MPA networks. Introduction Marine Protected Areas in the Philippine have been established with a wide range of goals including the conservation and protection of fishery resources/ biodiversity, for cultural and historical purposes, for aes- thetic reasons, and for research and educational concerns (Miclat and Ingles, 2004).
