Francisco, Sr., Mizpah Jay Candole1, Jaye Hanne De Veyra1, Elmer Bautista1 1Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office No. 08 Maharlika Highway, Brgy. Diit, Tacloban City ABSTRACT Leyte Gulf is among the major fishing grounds in the Philippines with a shelf area of 13, 147 km2 covering the islands of Samar and Leyte. For this reason, it was chosen as the study area in Eastern Visayas under the National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP) which aims to assess the status of fisheries resources. This paper presents the fishery stock assessment results from CY 2001-2011. The annual fish catch from 2001-2011 showed a declining trend. The lowest was in 2008 with 12, 483.52 MT while the highest was in 2003 with 26,367.32 MT. The municipal fisheries had a high catch contribution except in 2001 where commercial catch was higher by 30%. Thirty eight (38) types of fishing gears were identified operating in Leyte Gulf.

Physical safety of these a temporary roofing. Photo by: UNHCR Photo by: UNHCR IDPs is at risk. Photo by: UNHCR HIGHLIGHTS • Identification and profiling of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who are moving out the affected areas is urgently needed. Report state that most of these IDPs are leaving through airports and seaports with ( if any ) minimal controls. This situation increases the risk that women and children (especially if unaccompanied ) are exposed to human trafficking. • Power remains cut off in some parts of Regions IV-B, V, VI, VII, and VIII. This lack of electricity/lighting increases protection risk among IDPs both in evacuation centers and house-based. Women and children are particularly at risk in the nights. • The need for plastic sheetings for temporary shelter and roofing continue to increase as damage and needs assessment started to reach more affected-areas. • Damage and need assessment among local government units and humanitarian actors is ongoing however, there are still isolated areas that have not been reached yet. Delivery of humanitarian assistance in isolated areas remains a challenge due to broken bridges and road. • IDPs living in evacuation centers are sharing small spaces and there is no privacy. Tensions are on the rise.
