Bitung, Indonesia (WPP 716) The goal of USAID Oceans is to strengthen regional cooperation for General Santos City, Philippines sustainable and legal management and trade of natural resources in the Asia Pacific region. The purpose of the Activity is to increase the ability of regional fishery organizations to conserve marine biodiversity and Expansion Sites – I combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Asia Songkhla, Thailand Pacific region. The Activity’s sub-purpose is to improve fisheries Kelantan, Malaysia management standards through integration of conservation and fisheries management in at least eight countries in the Asia Pacific region by 2020. Expansion Sites – II The objectives of USAID Oceans are to: Vietnam Objective 1: Develop a financially sustainable Association of Cambodia Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional catch Myanmar documentation and traceability system (CDTS) to combat IUU fishing and seafood fraud in areas where sustainable fisheries Brunei Darussalam management plans (SFMPs) are being applied; Singapore Objective 2: Expand use of the CDTS to priority biodiversity Lao PDR areas in the Asia Pacific region; Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste Objective 3: Strengthen human and institutional capacity of regional organizations to conserve marine biodiversity through SFMPs, including actions to combat IUU fishing and seafood fraud; and Objective 4: Enhance public-private partnerships (PPPs) to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainable fisheries management, and combat IUU fishing and seafood fraud. The USAID Oceans Results Framework details the Activity’s guiding principles and proposed interventions (Figure 1). Adequate use of the CDTS, combined with national and local fisheries governance, provides the backbone of efforts to reduce IUU fishing. Regional capacity and coordination is essential for supporting and sustaining efforts to expand USAID Oceans’ approach throughout the region.

  • CHAPTER IV the JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 A. The
    CHAPTER IV THE JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 This chapter deals with the Japanese occupation of Koronadal Valley. An alien invading force would radically change the direction of developmental process in Koronadal Valley, particularly Buayan. From an envisioned agricultural settlement serving a major function for the Commonwealth government, Koronadal Valley was transformed into a local entity whose future direction would be determined by the people no longer in accordance with the objectives for which it was established but in accordance with the dynamics of growth in response to changing times. It is ironic that an event that was calamitous in itself would provide the libertarian condition to liberate Koronadal Valley from the limiting confines of Commonwealth Act No. 441. But more than structural change, the Japanese interlude put to test the new community. The sudden departure from the scene of the two titans of the community - General Paulino Santos and Mayor Abedin - raised the urgent need for the people left behind to take stock of themselves and respond to the difficult times sans the guiding hands of its leaders. A. The Southward Thrust of Japan to Mindanao To the people of the valley, the war was received with shock, fear and trepidation. It was like a thief in the night coming when everybody was unprepared. One settler recalled: “We were afraid when we heard over the radio that the Japanese are coming. We immediately evacuated and left behind our farms and animals. We hid in the mountains of Palkan, proceeding to Glamang and then to Kiamba. Our hunger drove us to dig sweet potatoes from the farms that we passed by.

    MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SILWAY RIVER BASIN IN SOUTHERN MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES FOR FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT A SUPPLEMENTARY OF FLOOD MODELING Rose Ann I. Barro1 and George R. Puno2 1Research Associate, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] 2Associate Professor, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: morphometric, river basin, Silway River, disaster management, flood modeling ABSTRACT. Flood modeling studies in many countries today is not anymore new for the purpose of forecasting, early warning purposes and disaster management of the local government and other disaster agencies. However, with the limitation of the hydrologic data (rainfall and discharge data) for the flood simulation, morphometric information of the river is the auxiliary to understand the flood potential of the river basin. Silway River Basin in Mindanao, Philippines is one of the four major river basins that flows towards General Santos City before discharging into the Sarangani Bay with a drainage area of 63,758 hectares. Among the four major river basins, Silway River Basin poses a greatest risk to the communities downstream when it comes to flooding. Consuming the 10 meter resolution SAR-DEM, the drainage system of the river basin was delineated in ArcMap 10.1 with the aid of HEC-GeoHMS. Ratio values of elongation (0.90), form factor (0.63) and circularity (0.26) indicated of very low relief and oval in shape. Compact and ovoid shape results to high peak of discharge and runoff during high rainfall events.

  • South Mindanao Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project
    South Mindanao Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project Evaluator：Juichi INADA, Senshu University １．Project Description Project Site Location Map of the project Monitoring Board of the Forestry PO 1.1 Background Mindanao Island has rich natural resources, but its environment has been deteriorated by recent rapid development. For instance, almost half of the forest in Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape-Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape (MMPL-SBPS) watershed area (230,000 has.) was lost, and sewage water from General Santos City (340,000 population in 1996, average rate of increase was 6.7% annually between 1993 and 1998) has generated a negative impact on the environment of the Sarangani Bay. And, coastal environment and fishery resources in Mainit-Balasiao River Watershed-Malalag Bay Area (MBRW-MBA) watershed area (6500 has.) have been also deteriorated by loss of forest and unsustainable fishery. In these situations, some methods to prevent deterioration of natural resources, and promote sustainable development should have been taken. Therefore, the Philippine government formulated a model project for promoting comprehensive environmental conservation in these areas, and tried to apply the lessons of the project to similar projects in other areas of Mindanao and the Philippines, as a whole. In addition, the target area was a part of SZOPAD (Special Zone for Peace and Development), and the project is considered important to consolidate peace in Mindanao. 1.2 Project Outline The objective of the project is to promote comprehensive environmental conservation management of coastal and watershed ecosystems, by undertaking activities that included 1 tree plantation and agro forestry, civil works including flood control, establishment of the Environmental Conservation and Protection Center (ECPC), livelihood assistance program, and establishment of septage treatment facilities (STFs), in two major target areas, namely, Mt.
