  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.

  • Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support
    Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support I. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Davao Region still needs to improve its infrastructure facilities and services. While the Davao International Airport has been recently completed, road infrastructure, seaport, and telecommunication facilities need to be upgraded. Flood control and similar structures are needed in flood prone areas while power and water supply facilities are still lacking in the region’s remote and underserved areas. While the region is pushing for increased production of staple crops, irrigation support facilities in major agricultural production areas are still inadequate. Off-site infrastructure in designated tourism and agri-industrial areas are likewise needed to encourage investment and spur economic activities. Accessibility and Mobility through Transport There is a need for the construction of new roads and improvement of the existing road network to provide better access and linkage within and outside the Region as an alternate to existing arterial and local roads. The lack of good roads in the interior parts of the municipalities and provinces connecting to major arterial roads constrains the growth of agriculture and industry in the Region; it also limits the operations of transport services due to high maintenance cost and longer turnaround time. Traffic congestion is likewise becoming a problem in highly urbanized and urbanizing areas like Davao City and Tagum City. While the Region is physically connected with the adjoining regions in Mindanao, poor road condition in some major highways also hampers inter-regional economic activities. The expansion of agricultural activities in the resettlement and key production areas necessitates the opening and construction of alternative routes and farm-to-market roads.

  • Analysis of the Battle of Surigao Strait by Walter S
    Analysis of the Battle of Surigao Strait By Walter S. Zapotoczny Today, all great nations recognize basic principles of war and incorporate them in their doctrine. The lists vary from nation to nation. In the Western World, the accepted principles are essentially a post-Napoleonic conception, advanced by Clausewitz, the great Prussian philosopher of war in the early nineteenth century, and his contemporary, Jomini, the well- known French general and theorist. These principles are common to ground, as well as, naval operations. The United States Army recognizes nine principles and includes them in its Field Manual 100-5. Their proper application, the Army holds, is essential to the exercise of effective command and to the successful conduct of military operations. These nine principles provide an effective model to analyze the Battle of Surigao Strait. OBJECTIVE The first of the nine principles is Objective. The FM 100-5 definition states that every military operation must be directed toward a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective. The ultimate military objective of war is the destruction of the enemy's armed forces and his will to fight. The objective of each operation must contribute to this ultimate objective. Each intermediate objective must be such that its attainment will most directly, quickly, and economically contribute to the purpose of the operation. The selection of an objective is based upon consideration of the means available, the enemy, and the area of operations. Every commander must understand and clearly define his objective and consider each contemplated action in light thereof. Once planes from Admiral Halsey’s carriers spotted Admiral Nishimura’s fleet making for the Surigao Strait and Admiral Kurita’s large fleet coming through the San Bernardino Strait, it was obvious to Admiral Kinkaid that the Japanese planed to converge in Leyte Gulf to attack MacArthur’s invasion ships.

  • Bullet Train of Non-Linear Internal Waves from Luzon Strait C
    BULLET TRAIN OF NON-LINEAR INTERNAL WAVES FROM LUZON STRAIT C-T Liu, R. Pinkel, M-K Hsu, R-S Tseng, Y-H Wang, J.M. Klymak, H-W Chen, C. Villanoy, L. David, Y. Yang, C-H Nan, Y-J Chyou, C-W Lee and Antony K. Liu In the northeastern South China Sea, a series of fast moving (about 2.9 m/s) non-linear internal waves (NLIWs) emanated westward from the Luzon Strait. Their propagation speed is faster than NLIWs previously observed in the world oceans, their amplitude reached 140 m or more, and are the largest free propagating NLIWs so far observed in the interior ocean. These NLIWs energized the top 1500 m of the water column, heaving it up and down in 20 min. Their associated energy density and energy flux are the largest observed to date. The exact source of these giant NLIWs is still under study and to be determined. BACKGROUND: Non-Linear Internal Waves (NLIWs) are often found in shelf regions. They are typically thought to be generated by tidal currents over steep topography (sill, seamount, shelf break, etc.) or sometimes by the instability of current shears. An ERS-1 SAR image of a non-linear internal waves (NLIW) near Luzon Strait (LS) in 1995/6/16 (http://sol.oc.ntu.edu.tw/IW/1995/ERS1.htm) showed quite different features than NLIW images nearer Taiwan (Liu et al., 1994). Existing theories and experience were insufficient to explain the location, shape and size of NLIW in that SAR image. To the west of LS, the HengChun Ridge (HCR) connects the southern tip of Taiwan to the continental shelf north of Luzon Island; Batan Islands and Babuyan Islands spread east of HCR.
