  • 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.

    1 We encourage you to use the website and mobile app for current information and to navigate the Symposium. Changes to the scientific program will be published on an addendum that will be posted on messages board. 2 In line with this year’s theme, the logo symbolizes the strategic cooperation between the scientific community and the different facets of the local institutions and the government to achieve wholesome and sustainable seas. The lower half signifies the ocean while the upper half shows the diversity of marine life and its interconnectivity with food security and environmental resilience. The halves meet at the center forming a handshake embodying the common understanding of the local communities, government, academe, private sector, NGOs, and especially the Filipino masses on the protection, management, and holistic conservation of the oceans. Lastly, the hues used also represent the colors of the sea at the break of dawn, signifying a new chapter for a more hopeful, science-based, and community- oriented future of the Philippine seas. Best logo design for PAMS15 Mr. John Michael Lastimoso 3 SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS 4 Welcome Message It is with great pleasure and excitement that we, the Philippine Association of Marine Science Officers 2017-2019, welcome you to the 15th National Symposium in Marine Science at the Aklan State University, Banga, Aklan on July 4-6, 2019 with the theme “Fostering synergy of science, community and governance for healthy seas.” As PAMS continues to undertake the task of promoting growth in marine science in the country, the PAMS15 will focus on highlighting the complex people-sea relationship and look more closely on the ways by which we can address the growing issues and risks to food security, biodiversity, and community resilience.

  • A Pilot Study on the Genetic Variation of Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus Affinis) in Southeast Asia
    Philippine Journal of Science 139 (1): 43-50, June 2010 ISSN 0031 - 7683 A Pilot Study on the Genetic Variation of Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) in Southeast Asia Mudjekeewis D. Santos1,2,*, Grace V. Lopez1, and Noel C. Barut1 1 Marine Fisheries Research and Development Division, National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, 940 Quezon Ave., Quezon City 1103 Philippines 2 Department of Biology, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University, Katipunan Ave., Quezon City 1108 Philippines Eastern little tuna or kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) is one of the commercially important tunas in the Philippines and in the Southeast Asian region. Therefore, its sustainability needs to be ensured by effective management. Unfortunately, knowledge on the stock structure of this migratory species in the region, needed for management, is unclear. Here, we studied its genetic population structure using a 300 bp mitochondrial DNA control region (D-loop) marker. Thirty- five samples collected in five areas around the Philippines (Aparri, Palawan, Cagayan de Oro, Tawi-Tawi, and Davao) and thirteen from Peninsular Malaysia (Pangkor Island, Penang) were sequenced and analyzed. Forty five haplotype sequences were homologous (99%) to each other while three (all from Malaysia) were divergent (80%) sequences indicating misidentification. Haplotype distribution, low overall FST value and non-concordant phylogeographic grouping of the haplotypes indicated that eastern little tuna is panmixing in Southeast Asia. Key Words: control region, Philippines, population genetics, stock identification INTRODUCTION already shown signs of overexploitaton and decline (Barut et al. 2003; Barut et al. 1997). Eastern little tuna or kawakawa, Euthynnus affinis (Cantor 1849), a small epipelagic, migratory, neritic tuna is one Because of its commercial importance and migratory of the major commercial tuna species being caught nature, eastern little tuna should be properly studied worldwide.

INTRODUCTION Geologic characteristics and natural features are determinants of development. In the Philippines, where topographic variation is apparent, the level of development can be associated with the physical characteristics of an area. The pace of economic growth may be hampered as environmental processes and phenomena brought about by topographic variations pose as constraints and limitations to development initiatives in the different parts of the country. This study takes off from the influence of geography on disasters as environmental phenomena that influences the course of development. It focuses on the province of Albay and how it rises to the challenge of its geography which, because of its location and geologic character, rendered it vulnerable to risks and hazards brought about by disasters. Purposely, the study will review the institutional creation and reforms and the policies and strategies formulated for all sectors that aimed to address the negative impacts of the disasters and the vulnerability of the communities in the province.

  • Marine Park with Whale Shark and Adjacent to Sardine Fishery
    Proceedings of the 12 th International Coral Reef Symposium, Cairns, Australia, 9-13 July 2012 17B Marine protected areas and networks in the coral triangle Marine park with whale shark and adjacent to sardine fishery Victor S. Soliman 1, Raul B. Burce 2 1CRM Unit, Bicol University Tabaco Campus, Tabaco City, Philippines 2World Wildlife Fund – KKP, Quezon City, Philippines Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract . The aim of balance between conservation and capture fishery is understood yet elusive. In a coastal town in the Philippines, Donsol, considered the "whale shark capital of the world", its coast also supports a commercial sardine fishery. A portion of its coastal waters has been declared a marine conservation park while most of it is still open to fishing. An assessment of the sardine fishery showed high exploitation rate. Bottom-set and drift gillnets are the major sustenance fishing gears. Commercial fishing vessels operating purse seine were also reported in the area. Regarding the whale shark or Butanding ecotourism, tourism officers perceived warming of coastal waters which they observed to have affected whale shark occurrence. Whale shark and sardines appeared swimming along the same path in coastal waters because they both feed on zoopankton. Small-scale fishers revealed that they intentionally avoid whale sharks while fishing because their nets and boats can be destroyed when the large fish swim at them. They contend it is the large fishing vessels that can potentially hurt whale shark when hit by their boats. The local government assisted by an international NGO has been pursuing measures to protect the largest fish and the fishers through an integrated marine resource management program.
