    INDO-PACIFIC New Milestones in the Modernization of the Philippine Navy OE Watch Commentary: Philippines officials are calling 2018 a “banner year” for the modernization of the Philippine Navy. The accompanying excerpted article, published by the Philippine News Agency, offers an overview of some of the navy’s benchmarks reached over the past year. In short, according to the article, the navy officially entered the missile age and demonstrated an ability to sail beyond its territorial waters. On 21 November 2018, the navy’s formal entry to the missile age was marked by the firing of two newly-acquired Rafael Advanced Defense Ltd. Spike-ER (extended range) surface-to-surface missiles from three multi-purpose assault crafts (MPAC) reportedly constructed by Subic-based Propmech Corporation. Despite rough seas, guided through modern technology, both hit their targets. The Spike-ER system arrived in the Philippines in April 2018 and, having a range of eight kilometers, is the country’s first missile weapon capable of penetrating 39 inches of rolled homogeneous armor. The MPACs are high-speed naval craft capable of exceeding 40 knots. Their missions can include patrol and fire support for troops. They can be armed with missiles, and machine guns, including remote controlled .50 caliber machine guns that are ideal for anti-piracy missions. The Philippine Navy currently has only nine MPACs, with another three expected to arrive over the next 12 months; however, according to Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad, the navy’s flag officer in command, another 42 would be optimal to enhance the navy’s capabilities through swarming tactics, which would enable it to engage larger, more capable ships that pose a threat.

    NAVY NEWS WEEK 40-5 4 October 2018 Nigeria Piracy Attack: MV Glarus update Massoel Shipping, Managers of Bulk carrier MV Glarus, attacked by pirates off Bonny, Nigeria on September 22, confirm that contact has now been made with those holding 12 crew members hostage. It is understood that all his crew are together and all are well and unharmed. The MV Glarus is now safely alongside at Port Harcourt with the remaining seven crew members on board Families are being kept in close touch with developments, the first and absolute priority being the safe release of the hostages. Massoel will not be making any further comments on operational issues as this could prejudice the safety of those being held. Source: Massoel Shipping Nigeria: High seas becoming safe, says ministry official The Federal Government through the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety (NIMASA) is doing everything to ensure safety on the high seas, a top government official has said. According to him: “The seas are sullen and the Federal Government through NIMASA is making them to become more secure for the people who sail them. “Although the African ocean is genuinely quiet at the moment, the overall political direction of the current administration is directed to settle it,” he said. Piracy, cargo theft and crew kidnap in the Gulf of Guinea are reducing in the east of Malacca, he said. The number of people affected ran into millions and are adding significantly to the numbers of migrants entering Europe by boat from Libya – itself in the throes of a chaotic and violent aftermath of the end of the Gadhafi regime.

Because of the wide array of benefits that can be gained upon its establishment, socio-economic contributions were taken into consideration using a descriptive survey method of research among the seven MPAs in Lingayen Gulf. Data revealed that members of the fisherfolk organization is dominated by married males, 30-50 years old, high school graduate, with 0-1 child, earns less than 5,000 pesos a month and fishing as the major source of livelihood. They participate “Moderately” in the management but scored “High” on linkaging/networking with other agencies. MPAs contributed “High” on social aspect despite a moderate contribution in recreation. A “Moderate” and “High” contributions were observed for economic and political aspect respectively. Among the socio-demographic profile, only the number of children is significantly correlated with the extent of participation in management but not with linking with other agencies. It is further revealed that participation is a good predictor of socio-economic contributions.

    Indications of Recruitment Enhancement in the Sea Urchin Tripneustes Gratilla Due to Stock Restoration Efforts

    Proceedings of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 7-11 July 2008 Session number 22 Indications of Recruitment Enhancement in the Sea Urchin Tripneustes gratilla Due to Stock Restoration Efforts M. A. Juinio-Meñez1 , D. Pastor1 and H. G. Bangi2 1Marine Science Institute, College of Science, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City 110 2College of Aquatic Sciences and Applied Technology, Mariano Marcos State University, Currimao 2903, Ilocos Norte, Philippines Abstract Field monitoring activities were conducted in various sites in five provinces in northwestern Philippines in 2004-2007 to assess the impacts of restocking and grow-out culture of hatchery-reared Tripneustes gratilla juveniles. High incidences of recruits (<4.0 cm test diameter) were noted during the last quarter of 2005 through the first quarter of 2006. Very high densities (up to 460 individuals 100 m-2) were recorded in Lucero, Bolinao, Pangasinan, which is the site for sea urchin broodstock and grow-out cages. Eighty percent of the total density was comprised of recruits of the year. In Sinait, Ilocos Sur, total density and incidence of recruits were significantly higher (up to 67 individuals 100 m-2) than two sites in Ilocos Norte where there was no grow-out culture of sea urchins. In Poro Pt., La Union sea urchins increased after the initiation of grow-out culture activities in 2005 and peaked at 14 individuals 100 m-2 in 2007. The positive correlation in the density of recruits and adults in four sites in Bolinao together with the higher densities and incidence of recruits in different grow-out areas concur with the hypothesis that the aggregation of adults in grow-out culture areas enhanced benthic recruitment.
