Existence of Invasive Species and Its Effect on Fishcages in Selected Municipality of Eastern Laguna Introduction EXISTENCE OF INVASIVE SPECIES AND ITS EFFECT ON FISHCAGES IN SELECTED MUNICIPALITY OF EASTERN LAGUNA INTRODUCTION • Philippines have a long history in the field of aquaculture, which involves different kinds of farming practices of different varieties of fish species in a diverse ecosystem. It contributes significantly to the country’s food security, employment and foreign exchange earnings. However in some past few years aquaculture experience a decline on its production and it was subjected on different problem which had been faced. Some of the recent studies focused on the impacts of invasive species on the field of aquaculture especially on fish pen and fish cages. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY • IAS is among the top drivers of environmental change globally, and is known to threaten food security, human health and economic development. (Vitousek et al 1997) In the Philippines, data on the impact of IAS and to a number of anecdotal reports indicate that native species may be adversely affected through competition, predation, habitat alteration, and parasitism. Theoretical Framework of the study • This study adopts the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection of Charles Darwin. Conceptual framework The figure shows the interrelatedness of the variables. The first box which is the independent variable includes the different invasive organisms. The second box at the right side of the framework which is the dependent variable shows the production of some fish cage in Siniloan and Pakil Laguna. Independent Variable Dependent Variable Invasive Species Janitor Fish Gloria Production of Fish cages Jaguar Guapote GiantSnake Head Knife Fish Walking Catfish Objectives of the study • The study aimed to determine the existence of invasive species and its effect on fish cages in selected municipality of Eastern Laguna. This study wants to find out the different invasive fishes present in Siniloan and Pakil Laguna; the production of fish cages in Siniloan and Pakil Laguna; the effects of invasive fishes in the production of fish cages; and lastly to find out the significant relationship between the effects of invasive species exist and the production of fish cages in Siniloan and Pakil Laguna. Methodology • The researcher used the descriptive method. The respondents of this study were composed of eighty six (86) selected persons engaged in fish caging on Siniloan and Pakil Laguna. The respondents from Siniloan were thirteen (13) and seventy six (73) were from Pakil. To gather data a survey qustionaire was used.

MANDANAS RDC Chairperson The Calabarzon Regional Development Report (RDR) tracks the region’s socio-economic performance against the targets of the Calabarzon Regional Development Plan 2017-2022. This report highlights the role of government policies, programs and projects in meeting the development targets and outcomes in the Results Matrices of the RDP. Taking off from the assessment of the performance of the different sectors, the RDR also includes a spatial perspective on development across the region to improve targeting of interventions where it is most needed or suitable. We recognize not just the contributions made by national government agencies, regional line agencies, state universities and colleges, local government units but also civil society organizations in achieving our region’s vision to be a highly liveable and globally competitive industrial region. Our concerted effort is necessary to make our vision become a reality.

  • Laguna De Bay Experience and Lessons Learned Brief
    Laguna de Bay Experience and Lessons Learned Brief Adelina Santos-Borja*, Chief, Research and Development Division, Laguna Lake Development Authority, Pasig, Philippines, [email protected] Dolora N. Nepomuceno, Assistant General Manager, Laguna Lake Development Authority, Pasig, Philippines * Corresponding author 1. Introduction introduction of fi shpen technology in the lake has produced economic benefi ts, but also has become a source of serious Laguna de Bay is the largest, most important lake in the confl ict on resource utilization and access that reached the Philippines. Its watershed contains 66 Local Government Units attention of the President of the Philippines. It took 15 years (LGUs), grouped into 5 provinces, 49 municipalities and 12 to develop a feasible and acceptable management plan to cities with an estimated population of 6 million people.

  • Valuation of Ecosystem Service of the Laguna Lake Basin: Erosion Control and Flood Water Retention
    VALUATION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICE OF THE LAGUNA LAKE BASIN: EROSION CONTROL AND FLOOD WATER RETENTION Alvin A. Faraon1, Adelina C. Santos-Borja2, Neil V. Varcas3, Brando M. Angeles4, Erwin Kim P. Mercado5 1Project Evaluation Officer II, Project Development, Monitoring, Evaluation Division, Laguna Lake Development Authority 2Department Manager III, Resource Management and Development Department, Laguna Lake Development Authority 3Development Manager Officer II, Project Development, Monitoring, Evaluation Division, Laguna Lake Development Authority 4Project Development Officer II, Project Development, Monitoring, Evaluation Division, Laguna Lake Development Authority 5Engineer II, Project Development, Monitoring, Evaluation Division, Laguna Lake Development Authority Abstract The Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) is a global partnership program initiated by the World Bank in 2014. It aims to promote sustainable development by ensuring that accounting for natural resources and the services provided by the ecosystems are mainstreamed into development planning. One of the two pilot test sites in the Philippines is the Laguna Lake Basin where lies the largest and most economically important lake in the accounts was developed which includes a land account containing land Philippines. Based on the framework of the System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) approved by the UN Statistical Commission (UNSC), a pilot ecosystem cover and changes; a water account providing information on water quantity; an ecosystem condition account indicating water quality, changes in bathymetry and sediment loading; an ecosystem production account looking at the flow of ecosystem services like fishery production, water supply, flood retention and soil erosion regulation. This paper focuses on two ecosystem services: erosion control and floodwater retention capacity, which is also referred to as flood control service, and their significance on the ecological integrity of the lake.
