  • 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.

  • Gender-Responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning and Management
    Gender-responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning And Management GREAT Women Project Management Office Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) December 2013 Quezon City, Philippines Message Tourism is one of the major sectors that drive our economy. In the tourism industry, it is mainly the women who are in the forefront of tourism – related activities. Undoubtedly, the heavy influx of tourists also brings about environmental degradation; hence the term ecotourism was coined to ensure that tourism activities will not have adverse effects on the natural environment. Although ecotourism is becoming widely – known, women’s roles and participation in various ecotourism activities are still understated and not considered in ecotourism planning and management. The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) through the Gender Responsive Economic Actions for the Transformation of Women (GREAT) Project, partnered with the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the development of this Tool Kit which aims to provide information to LGUs and protected area managers in preparing and developing their ecotourism management plans and ensuring that ecotourism strategies are gender responsive. The PCW commends the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau for developing this tool kit and I would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) of Canada for their untiring support to the GREAT Women Project. As we work together as partners in the dissemination and utilization of this Tool Kit, we look forward to seeing more women participating and benefiting from ecotourism activities REMEDIOS I.

    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

  • BLANKET OCTOPUS (Tremoctopus Gracilis)
    NIGHT OCEAN Every night, in oceans across the globe, sensational alien-like creatures rise from the depths to feed. Welcome to the Night Ocean, where an entirely new cast of characters comes to life. Images © Magnus Lundgren / naturepl.com BLANKET OCTOPUS (Tremoctopus gracilis) Looking like something out of a science fiction movie, this blanket octopus is pictured in full opalescent display. Little is known about the rarely- encountered creature, which ranges from the depths of the dark zone to surface waters (where this female was seen in all her psychedelic glory). Anilao, Batangas the Philippines. ZOOPLANKTON Zooplankton is made up of a staggering diversity of animals – from single-celled organisms to the larvae of fish [1], anemones [2] and mollucs [3], as well as crustaceans [4], shellfish and jellies. 1 The zooplankton – in conjunction with hordes of photosynthetic phytoplankton, makes up the planktonic food supply upon which almost all oceanic organisms 2 depend. When the plankton rise, so do the deep ocean predators (pictured: a juvenile flying fish). The vertical migration influences our world more than many of us know. The daily movements of zooplankton help remove carbon from the atmosphere and surface waters, transporting it quickly and efficiently down into the ocean depths, where it can remain for centuries. Given that climate 3 change is already leading to ocean warming and acidification—a trend Every night an astonishing drama from the pages of science fiction. that is expected to accelerate— occurs in the world’s oceans: a The sheer biomass of the small carbon cycling provides the great vertical migration, in which drifting creatures – collectively impetus for much of today’s billions of organisms respond to known as zooplankton – renders zooplankton migration research.

One of the outcomes of this collaborative research was to observed precursor signals to the January 2020 eruptive activity. Significant temporal variations in diffuse CO2 emission at the Taal Crater Lake (TLC) was observed across the ~12 years.
