Box 338, 6700 AH, Wageningen, The Netherlands Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is considered a global threat to the marine environment. Mortality from ingestion or entanglement in AMD is widely reported from marine animals and has harmful impacts on seagrass and corals. The distribution of AMD plays a vital role in its interaction with marine organisms. However, there is little information on AMD distribution in the Philippines – a country ranked as the third most significant contributor of AMD in the ocean. During the monitoring of dugong (Dugong dugon) feeding trails in Mati City, Davao Oriental, Philippines, AMD was recorded at one of the sites surveyed. Plastic debris was the most dominant in number and weight of total AMD collected. Here we present the first quantification, characterization, and distribution of AMD in a shallow subtidal area in Mati City, Philippines. More studies are needed to assess the impacts of AMD on the marine environment and organisms, particularly within the Philippines. Key words: AMD, marine debris, Mayo Bay, Philippines, solid waste management The threat of anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) to when data from stranding events and necropsies reveal marine biodiversity is a global problem. Plastic, the their presence. Reports on AMD ingestion rely on post- most dominant type of AMD, reportedly affects marine mortem examinations (e.g., Abreo et al. 2016) and not all organisms at different trophic levels and coastal habitats strandings are examined. (Kühn et al. 2015) . Given the ubiquity of plastic usages in society (e.g., food The full extent of AMD is still unknown, possibly wrappers, plastic bags, and decorations), some eventually because of the “cryptic” nature of the problem (Williams ends up in the marine environment and impacts marine et al. 2011). Impacts of AMD may only become evident organisms (Kühn et al. 2015). Coastal areas are often densely populated by people contributing to the entry of *Corresponding author: [email protected] disposable plastics to the marine habitat. 597 Philippine Journal of Science Abreo et al.: Survey of Subtidal AMD Vol. 147 No. 4, December 2018 In Mati City, the habitat of sea turtles and dugong were established as part of the dugong feeding trail overlaps with coastal communities.

During the monitoring of dugong feeding trails, it was In the Philippines, the negative impacts of AMD on observed that benthic AMD was present in the sampling marine organisms have been previously investigated area within Mayo Bay but not in Pujada Bay. The survey and (Abreo et al. 2016). The current study investigates AMD collection of AMD was performed by a single SCUBA diver in subtidal areas in a shallow embayment in Mati City, for 20 min in each of the 20 m x 20 m quadrat. All collected Davao Oriental, Philippines. debris were washed with tap water and air-dried in a room. The sites sampled for AMD were located at Mayo Sorting and classification of AMD was done using the Bay (N06°55’25.9”; E126°16’51.0”) and Pujada Bay UNEP/IOC guidelines on survey and monitoring of (coordinate N06°50’ 45.9”; E126°17’18.3”) in Mati City, marine litter (Cheshire et al. 2009). In this study, this Davao Oriental, Philippines (see Figure 1). Pujada Bay is classification was modified to three broad categories an area of approximately 168 km2 declared as Protected (see Table 1). Count and dry weight of the collected Landscape/Seascape under Republic Act 7586 or the AMD were recorded. Each category was presented as National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS). a percentage of the total number of AMD. Only weight Meanwhile, Mayo Bay is not a protected area but is (grams) of AMD was used in statistical analyses. Count important for dugongs (Mizuno et al. 2017). data were used for descriptive statistics, mainly to calculate means and standard deviations for the various On 7–10 Jun 2016, three (3) 20 m x 20 m quadrats were categories. For the statistical analyses – since only three randomly placed on the seafloor within seagrass beds in 20 x 20 m quadrats were measured – results from all each of the two sites at a depth of 4–6 m. The quadrats quadrats were pooled and categorized as either plastic bags, other plastics, or cloth and others. For combined data, the sample size was n=75 (plastic bags, n=58; other plastics, n=12; cloth and others, n=4). Data were tested for normality using graphical means [Probability Plots (PP plots) and box plots]. When normality was violated, the data were log10 transformed. Post-hoc analyses were done using Tukey tests to check which means among the Table 1. Classification of anthropogenic marine debris found in feeding areas of dugongs in Davao Oriental, Philippines.

All analyses were done using Minitab version 17 (Minitab Inc., State College, PA, USA). The study site in Mayo Bay was littered with AMD, with Figure 1. Map of the study sites in Mayo and Pujada Bay, Davao a total of 75 items collected (Table 2). The average density Oriental, Philippines. of AMD was 0.06 ± 0.06 items m-2 or 0.344 ± 0.32 g·m-2 [lowest density: 0.015 items m-2 (0.15 g·m-2); highest 598 Philippine Journal of Science Abreo et al.: Survey of Subtidal AMD Vol. 147 No. 4, December 2018 density: 0.133 items m-2 (0.718 g·m-2)]. The density of subtidal AMD in Mayo Bay was lower compared to studies in Curaçao (36.5 ± 41.0 items 100 m-2) (Nagelkerken et al. 2001) and the Caribbean (lowest density recorded at 0.26 items m-2) (Debrot et al. 2013). The lower densities could be attributed to reduced sampling effort and smaller area covered in the present study. However, both Nagelkerken et al. (2001) and Debrot et al. (2013) indicated that plastic was the most common AMD in their study areas – similar to the current study. Plastic was the most common AMD found, the mean count of plastic bags was 19, followed by other plastics at 4, and cloth and other debris at 0.61 (see Table 2). In contrast, the results of the one-way ANOVA of the three categories of AMD by weight showed highly significant difference (P=0.000, df=74, MS=2.24, F=8.93, R2=20) and the post-hoc test of the means reveals that plastic was less than compared to the weight of the other plastics and cloth but the other plastics and cloth were not significantly different from each other (PL= 1.91 g, OP= 5 g, CL=15.49 g). These data show that while plastic bags and wrappers are ubiquitous, they weigh less compared to other categories. The low weight of plastic bags and wrappers may downplay the perceived threat.

  • Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support
    Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support I. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Davao Region still needs to improve its infrastructure facilities and services. While the Davao International Airport has been recently completed, road infrastructure, seaport, and telecommunication facilities need to be upgraded. Flood control and similar structures are needed in flood prone areas while power and water supply facilities are still lacking in the region’s remote and underserved areas. While the region is pushing for increased production of staple crops, irrigation support facilities in major agricultural production areas are still inadequate. Off-site infrastructure in designated tourism and agri-industrial areas are likewise needed to encourage investment and spur economic activities. Accessibility and Mobility through Transport There is a need for the construction of new roads and improvement of the existing road network to provide better access and linkage within and outside the Region as an alternate to existing arterial and local roads. The lack of good roads in the interior parts of the municipalities and provinces connecting to major arterial roads constrains the growth of agriculture and industry in the Region; it also limits the operations of transport services due to high maintenance cost and longer turnaround time. Traffic congestion is likewise becoming a problem in highly urbanized and urbanizing areas like Davao City and Tagum City. While the Region is physically connected with the adjoining regions in Mindanao, poor road condition in some major highways also hampers inter-regional economic activities. The expansion of agricultural activities in the resettlement and key production areas necessitates the opening and construction of alternative routes and farm-to-market roads.

  • Katipunan- Kasilak to Farm Market Road in Panabo City
    Rahabilitation of Brgy. Little Panay- Katipunan- Kasilak to Farm Market Road in Panabo City Panabo City, Davao del Norte April 2014 Initial Environmental Examination Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND The subproject covers the three barangays namely Barangays Little Panay, Katipunan and Kasilak. These three (3) barangays has attained a technical assistance grant from the Local Government unit of Panabo and Department of Agriculture through Mindanao Rural Development Program (MRDP), a poverty-reduction program for the rural poor, women and indigenous communities in mindanao which is funded largely through a World Bank loan. The proposed subproject has a full stretch of 8.002 Km. starting from Purok 3, Purok 5 of Barangay Little Panay passing Purok 4 to San Miguel of Barangay Katipunan and will end at Purok 3-B of Barangay Kasilak. The road influences the entire area of the subproject barangays that has a total of 2,382 hectares. Rehabilitation of the farm to market road from barangay Little Panay to purok 4 barangay Kasilak play a significant role in rural and agricultural development in such a way that will make the areas and its immediate environs into a more usable and will achieve its maximum potential in terms of agricultural production. Although not all residents utilized this road at present but with the rehabilitation of access, the constituents of the subproject barangays and its neighbors will benefit directly or indirectly with it. This will cause the alteration particularly of its increase in land valuation, increase revenues and farmers’ income at least 25% starting year 2013.
