  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.

Haslett1,*, Bernardine R. Wong2 1 Coastal and Marine Research Group, The Registry, University of Wales, King Edward VII Avenue, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NS, UK 2 Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia * Corresponding author email address: [email protected] Abstract: A recent study has suggested that palaeo-tsunami events in the South China Sea may have attained wave heights of up to 15 m. One method for investigating palaeo-tsunami along coastlines is the study of boulders that, through measurement and the use of hydrodynamic equations, may assist in understanding wave heights. An area with known high magnitude tsunami is the eastern coast of Moro Gulf on the island of Mindanao (Philippines) in the Celebes Sea, where a damaging tsunami of up to 9 m high occurred in 1976. This study undertakes a reconnaissance of the coastline using Google Earth imagery and, appreciating limitations, identifies two potential coastal sites with presumed wave-transported boulders near Namat and Sedem, c. 10 and 55 km from the 1976 earthquake epicentre respectively. Using Google Earth tools, 12 boulders were measured and, with some estimated parameters, heights calculated for both tsunami and storm waves required to transport the boulders. This preliminary analysis indicates that four of the boulders may have been transported by storm activity, but all 12 boulders could have been transported by the 1976 tsunami.

Introduction The Eastern Asia region is an area with high risk of catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In today’s highly globalized economy, when a major disaster occurs, it can create unpredictable turmoil not just in the affected area but also the rest of the world. Countermeasures against these disasters are crucial for the sustainable development. We believe that continuous efforts to develop an effective international framework to reduce the risk of earthquake, tsunami and volcanic hazards are quite important. The Sumatra earthquake on December 26, 2004 and Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011 clearly show the urgency of developing an information and knowledge system for infrequent natural hazards. The volcanic ash ejected from Eyjafjallajökull eruptions in Iceland on April 2000 caused more than 20,000 commercial flight cancellations a day in Europe, resulting to the largest air-traffic shut-down since World War II.
