  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

    IST Proear Diving Mask – User’S Manual

    IST ProEar Diving Mask – User’s manual Introduction Congratulations! You are now the owner of the revolutionary IST ProEar mask. As it offers an entirely different concept to diving safety and comfort, the full benefits of the ProEar may take.one or two dives of getting used to. There are 3 models available to choose from: ME7 single lens mask (clear blue), ME55 twin lens mask (all black) and the original twin lens ProEar ME80 (carbon fibre pattern or clear blue). All are equipped with the same silicone ear cups, equalisation tubes and the twin lens models can also accommodate IST specially made optical lenses (item no.: OL55 and OL80). Excellent for diving as well as snorkelling, the benefits of the ProEar mask are: z Improving comfort and preventing painful ear problems while diving z Improving hearing and sense of direction underwater z Simplifying pressure equalisation z Increase warmth around the ears by insulating them from water We recommend you to try this unique mask in confined water until you are familiar and comfortable with it. Preparation Prior to using your new mask for the first time, thoroughly clean the mask lens(es) with a non-abrasive liquid detergent or toothpaste to remove any production residue, and then rinse with fresh water. Wearing the mask When putting on the mask, it is preferable to hold the ear cups in the palm of each hand as you gently slip the whole mask over your head. Do not use excessive force to pull or it may break apart. Also make sure: z As little hair gets into the silicone ear skirts and mask skirt as possible.

    Proceedings of the First ASEAMS Symposium on Southeast Asian Marine Science and En vironmental Protection UNEP Regional Seas Reports and Studies No. 116 Prepared in co-operation with Association of Southeast Asian Marine Scientists UNEP 1990 PREFACE The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 5-16 June 1972) adopted the Action Plan for the Human Environment, including the General Principles for Assessment and Control of Marine Pollution. In the light of the results of the Stockholm Conference, the United Nations General Assembly decided to establish the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to "serve as a focal point for environmental action and co-ordination within the United Nations system" [General Assembly resolution (XXVH) of 15 December 19721. The organizations of the United Nations system were invited "to adopt the measures that may be required to undertake concerted and co-ordinated programmes with regard to international environmental problemsn, and the "intergovermal and non-governmental organizations that have an interest in the field of the environmentn were also invited "to lend their full support and collaboration to the United Nations with a view to achieving the largest possible degree of co-operation and co-ordination". Subsequently, the Governing Council of UNEP chose "Oceans" as one of the priority areas in which it would focus efforts to fulfil its catalytic and co-ordinating role. The Regional Seas Programne was initiated by UNEP in 1974. Since then the Governing Council of UNEP has repeatedly endorsed a regional approach to the control of marine pollution and the management of marine and coastal resources and has requested the development of regional action plans.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have
