  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • POISONING Coal-Fired Power Plants
    Executive Summary The world’s climate is changing. The burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas are creating a world where floods, droughts and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. The impacts for humans and the environment will be devastating unless we act to halt climate change now. This means ending our dependence for energy from dirty fossil fuels and switching to a clean renewable energy future. However, even though the evidence shows that climate change is happening now and will only get worse if we do not switch BURNING OUR FUTURE: energy paths, large multinationals and The true costs of building coal-fired power plants and the case for renewable energy alternatives governments from the rich, developed countries continue to push their dirty fossil Written and prepared by Red Constantino and Abigail Jabines.

    ABSTRACT This paper tells of the story of the struggles of artisanal fisherfolks in the CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) Region in Luzon in the Philippines in terms of how they try to reclaim the foreshore lands, fishery and inland resources that are traditionally utilized by them. It is an attempt to document the different forms of commercialization in the foreshore areas, which often come in the forms of private beach resorts, reclamation projects and fishponds. These development aggressions have entirely altered the coastal and land uses in these areas as more and more traditional fishing grounds and foreshore lands are turned into eco-tourism and agri- business sites. This paper is a consolidation of three case studies made in Laguna Lake, the Municipality of Real in Quezon and the Municipality of Calatagan in Batangas. It is interesting to note how perceived development have led the way to foreshore land grabbing and displacement of fisherfolks from their traditional fishing grounds. It is also important to note how foreshore lands have taken its toll from the demands for fisherfolk settlement, reclamation for tourism purposes and conversion of mangroves into fishponds in the past. This paper suggests for the national government to address the seeming virtual privatization and commercialization of foreshore areas in the country. The increase in the number of private beach resorts and recreational areas are putting too much pressure to the productivity and social cohesion of coastal communities. Many fishing communities are being dislocated due to these trends.
