Sustainable Fisheries Certification Process in the Developing Countries: Potential of Tourism Industry in the Philippines SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES CERTIFICATION PROCESS IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: POTENTIAL OF TOURISM INDUSTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES Jyväskylä University School Of Business and Economics Master’s thesis 2017 Maija Lähteenkorva MSc Corporate Environmental Management Stefan Baumeister JYVÄSKYLÄ UNIVERSITY Author Maija Lähteenkorva Title of thesis Sustainable fisheries certification process in the developing countries: Potential of the tourism industry in the Philippines Discipline Type of work MSc Corporate Environmental Management Master’s thesis Time (month / year) Number of pages 06/2016 82 Abstract This thesis focuses on looking at market-driven approach to establishing sustainable fisheries in developing countries. Market-driven approaches consist of sustainable fisheries certification or also known as ecolabels that are based on economic incentives. The aim of this study is to identify potential certification processes suitable for the Phil- ippines tourism industry. The study first identified criteria for sustainable fisheries cer- tification, which was done using Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standards. Se- cond part of the study conducted a market analysis on selected local resorts, looking at their current seafood sustainability and focusing especially on whether there is any demand for sustainable seafood supplier. Although the theoretical framework was able to identify that there are currently no suitable sustainable fisheries certification for developing countries, the result of the empirical data showed that there is demand for sustainable seafood supplier. However incentives to change their current seafood into sustainable seafood is low. Overall the study concluded that Negros Oriental Province fisheries don’t have the resources to implement a proper certification programme like Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), but the study found that there are alternative assessment tools being used that are spe- cifically adapted to Philippine fisheries. The study also identified current gaps in fisheries industry in the Philippines, which showed that there is need for more efficient traceability tools, country specific sustain- able fisheries standards, and most importantly more consumer awareness on seafood availability and seasonality.

growing, while the supply of capture marine fish is getting more and more stagnant every year. Despite some progress in improvement of marine stock in certain areas, overall the situation has not improved over the years. Ac- cording to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (2016) analysis on global commercial fish stocks, the share of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels have decreased from 90% in 1974 to 68,6% in 2011 from which 31,4% of fish stocks were being overfished. In order to secure most important food source for ever-growing population, various stakeholders have taken actions to transform the fisheries industry into more sustainable (FAO, 2016; Grafton et al., 2006; Iles, 2007; Österblom et al., 2011). One of those actions consists of creating market-based approach that promotes and rewards through economic incentives responsibly sourced sea- food. These market based measures also commonly known as sustainability cer- tifications or ecolabels have mainly been developed by NGOs, often in associa- tion with industrial or commercial corporations in the fisheries industry (FAO, 2016; Pérez-Ramírez et al., 2012). Concerns over sustainable use and manage- ment of marine resources have led to a rapid increase in seafood certification schemes and eco-labeling during the last decade (Bellchambersa et al., 2016). There are currently around 30 certification programs available globally that fo- cus on fisheries, out of which the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) founded by Unilever and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 1996 is currently the most dominant due to its credibility and worldwide recognition (Parkes et al., 2010). Although there has been some criticism towards marked-based certifica- tion approach especially in terms of evaluation methodology on fisheries in de- veloped and developing countries, they have also been considered to be most stringent and transparent

  • Fisheries Profile of Negros Oriental Province
    Fisheries Profile of Negros Oriental Province Negros Oriental occupies the south-eastern half of the island of Negros, with Negros Occidental comprising the north-western half. It has a total land area of 5,385.53 square kilometres (2,079.36 sq mi). [11] A chain of rugged mountains separates Negros Oriental from Negros Occidental. Negros Oriental faces Cebu to the east across the Tañon Strait and Siquijor to the southeast. The Sulu Sea borders it to the south to southwest. The population of Negros Oriental in the 2015 census was 1,354,995 people,[2] with a density of 250 inhabitants per square kilometre or 650 inhabitants per square mile. Its registered voting population are 606,634.[19] 34.5% of the population are concentrated in the six most populous component LGUs of Dumaguete City, Bayawan City, Guihulngan City, Tanjay City, Bais City and Canlaon City. Population growth per year is about 0.99% over the period 2010-2015, lower than the national average of 1.72%.[2] Residents of Negros are called "Negrenses" (and less often "Negrosanons") and many are of either pure/mixedAustronesian heritage, with foreign ancestry as minorities. Negros Oriental is predominantly a Cebuano-speaking province by 77%, due to its close proximity to Cebu. Hiligaynon/Ilonggo is spoken by the remaining 23% and is common in areas close to the border with Negros Occidental. Filipino and English, though seldom used, are generally understood and used for official, literary and educational purposes. Population census of Negros Oriental Year Pop. ±% p.a. 1990 925,272 — 1995 1,025,247 +1.94% 2000 1,130,088 +2.11% 2007 1,231,904 +1.20% 2010 1,286,666 +1.60% 2015 1,354,995 +0.99% Source: Philippine Statistics Authority [2][16][16] Negros Oriental comprises 19 municipalities and 6 cities, further subdivided into 557 barangays.

  • Sociopolitical Setting 67
    66 CHAPTER 5 SOCIOPOLITICAL SETTING 67 Chapter 5 SOCIOPOLITICAL SETTING POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES he province of Negros Oriental belongs to Region VII, grouped together with the other Cebuano-speaking provinces of Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor located in the Central Visayas region of the Philippine archipelago (PPDO t 1992). The profile area covers the 2 cities and 7 municipalities that are along the coast stretching from the municipality of Manjuyod in the north to the municipality of Dauin in the south and contains 72 coastal barangays for the profile area (Table 5.1) (Figure 5.1). There are 3 islands found in the profile area: Daco and Dewey Islands, under the jurisdiction of Bais City, and Apo Island, under the jurisdiction of Dauin. Daco Island is a peninsula of Bais attached to the main land by a narrow strip of land which divides Bais Bay into North and South bays. Daco Island has 4 barangays and Dewey Island, located in the North Bais Bay, has only 1 barangay. Apo Island also has only 1 barangay. DEMOGRAPHICS The total population of Negros Oriental in 1995 was 1,025,247 (NSO 1995). A total of 205,131 households and less than 1 percent of the population in the province live outside a household. The average annual growth rate for the province was 2.07 percent from 1990 to 1995, although the average annual growth rate for the profile area was 10.1 percent. The municipality in the profile area with the highest growth rate, 18.00 percent, is Bacong, but the most populous LGU in the profile area is Dumaguete City, which has a population of 92,637 and a growth rate of 15.40 percent.
