  • Philippines Country Report (Global Fisheries MCS Report 2020)
    GLOBAL EVALUATION OF FISHERIES MONITORING CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN 84 COUNTRIES PHILIPPINES – COUNTRY REPORT GANAPATHIRAJU PRAMOD IUU RISK INTELLIGENCE Policy Report - Volume 1 Number 1 © Pramod Ganapathiraju JANUARY 2020 SUMMARY This evaluation of Fisheries Monitoring Control and Surveillance report for Philippines is one of 84 such country evaluations that covers nations landing 92% of world’s fish catch. Using a wide range of interviews and in-country consultations with both military and civilian agencies, the report exemplifies the best attempt by the author(s) at evaluation of MCS compliance using 12 questions derived from international fisheries laws. The twelve questions are divided into two evaluation fields, (MCS Infrastructure and Inspections). Complete details of the methods and results of this global evaluation would be published shortly through IUU Risk Intelligence website. Over a five-year period, this global assessment has been subjected to several cross-checks from both regional and global MCS experts familiar with compliance aspects in the country concerned. Uncertainty in assigning each score is depicted explicitly through score range. However, the author(s) are aware that gaps may remain for some aspects. The lead author remains open to comments, and revisions will be made upon submission of documentary evidence where necessary. Throughout the report, extreme precaution has been taken to maintain confidentiality of individuals who were willing to share information but expressed an inclination to remain anonymous out of concern for their job security, and information from such sources was cited as ‘anonymous’ throughout the report.

  • Enhancing Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in Batangas, Philippines, Through Mpas and ICM
    ICM Solutions Enhancing Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in Batangas, Philippines, through MPAs and ICM The long-term protection and management of coastal and marine resources entails good governance and on- the-ground interventions. In Batangas Province, the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA networks within the framework of an integrated coastal management (ICM) program have provided benefits in food security and sustainable livelihoods, and engaged stakeholders in various sectors and at varying scales to integrate and complement each other’s efforts. Addressing fish stocks goes hand in hand with habitat restoration initiatives in improving food security and reducing ecosystem degradation. Scientific analyses, in parallel with consultations with locals as well as commercial fishers, provide both scientific and practical rationale for management interventions, including seasonal closures for fishing. It is important to educate and build awareness in order to mobilize the community for environmental stewardship and consequently make the community a partner in sustainable coastal development. By facilitating the fishing community themselves to guard and maintain the MPA, the community begins to take ownership and responsibility for local conservation and to protect their livelihoods as fishers. Context “I do not have parcels of land for my children to inherit. I pass on to them the knowledge and lessons that I have learned in a lifetime of fishing … lessons about conserving and protecting the marine and coastal resources. Experience has taught me there is a greater wealth from the sea if its resources are sustainably managed.” These are the heartfelt sentiments of Doroteo Cruzat (Mang Jury), a former fisher who was taught his craft in the waters of Mabini, in the Province of Batangas, Philippines, when he was 10 years old.

  • Fishsit Jan Dec2009.Pdf
    ISSN-2012-0400 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS PHILIPPINES | FISHERIES SITUATIONER 18 HIGHLIGHTS In 2009, the fisheries sector grew by 2.37 percent. This year’s production was 5,084,520.25 metric tons. All the fisheries sub-sectors managed to outdo their 2009 production performance. Aquaculture which served as the major source of growth, expanded by 2.89 percent. Total output from commercial fisheries surged by 2.67 percent. Municipal fisheries registered a 1.14 percent increase in production (Table 1). In commercial fisheries, the volume of unloadings was estimated at 1,258,975.07 metric tons or 32,770.19 metric tons more than last year’s production. Four (4) regions recorded production increases this year. In Zamboanga Peninsula fish production went up by 28.93 percent or 80,199.31 metric tons, which contributed to the country’s total output expansion. Heavy unloadings of indian sardines were noted in private landing centers of Zamboanga City during the second quarter of 2009. The growth was mainly attributed to the increased demand from canning factories in Zamboanga City during the second quarter of 2009. In 12 regions, downward trends in production were observed. There were reports of production shortfalls that were attributed to the lesser fishing trips due to rough seas, big waves and successive typhoons during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009. Nevertheless, the production losses in most regions were offset by the gains in four (4) regions. Commercial fisheries shared 24.76 percent in the total fisheries production in 2009. Municipal fisheries production at 1,348,153.15 metric tons in 2009 was 1.14 percent or 15,166.77 metric tons higher than the 2008 output.
