With its primary focus on Southeast Asia Region, the Project seeks innovative understandings of the agrarian transition understood as the multiple, uneven, and reversible pathways and processes through which agrarian rela‐ tions are transformed. Key processes being studied include agricultural intensification and expansion; commodification; peri/urbanization, industrialization, human mobilities, intensification of regulation; ecological change; agrarian social movements; and the re‐ making of agrarian wealth and poverty. The Project involves an interdisciplinary team from Canada, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Australia. It is directed by Professor Rodolphe De Koninck, Canada Research Chair in Asian Studies, Université de Montreal, Canada. It runs from 2005 to 2011. For more information: http://www.caac.umontreal.ca/en/chatsea_intro.html ChATSEA Working Papers The ChATSEA Working Paper Series is intended to present empirical findings from origi‐ nal research concerning the agrarian transition, with an emphasis on contemporary con‐ text. The Series includes work done by faculty and graduate students sponsored by or af‐ filiated with ChATSEA, and by other scholars who are not affiliated but whose research concerns similar themes.

([email protected]) This report assesses the sustainability of fisheries of Lamon Bay in the Philippines and investigates the effectiveness of fishery conservation policies. It finds that current policies are failing and that a substantial investment would be required to ensure full compliance with current regulations. It also finds that the benefits of achieving high levels of compliance would exceed costs by only a tiny margin. It concludes that current regulations to deal with overfishing are neither cost-effective nor address the underlying problems of overexploitation of fish stocks and open access to fishing areas. The report suggests that a tradable quota system may provide one answer to the problem and outlines government policies that would back up such an approach. i Published by the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) Tanglin PO Box 101, Singapore 912404 (www.eepsea.org) tel: +65-6235-1344, fax: +65-6235-1849, email: [email protected] EEPSEA Research Reports are the outputs of research projects supported by the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia.

    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE 1 REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 7 JUN 30 P3 :?SI First Regular Session 1 SENATE S. B. No. 21 Introduced bv SENATOR EDGARDO J. ANGARA EXPLANATORY NOTE This Act provides for the creation of an Authority that will negotiate with interested private investors and be responsible for the construction, operation, management and administration of the Quezon Canal and the Canal Zone from the Municipality of Atimonan to the Municipality of Unisan, both in the Province of Quezon. The Quezon Canal will provide a by-pass or short cut for ocean vessels coming from the eastern side of Luzon to Manila and the China Sea. It will also provide cheaper and faster transport of products from Luzon's eastern coastal towns to the metropolitan markets. The Canal will increase the volume of inter-island shipping and trade between, the coastal towns of Quezon, Marinduque, Mindoro, Batangas and Bicol Region. The untapped regions north of the Province of Quezon and the marine resources of Lamon Bay, Polillo Strait and Tayabas Bay will be open to development. The Canal Zone is envisioned as a major transhipment center to and from the United States, Japan and the ASEAN countries. Export processing facilities and light industries in the Canal Zone will boost our export potential and increase our industrial productivity. It will contribute immensely to the growth of our country's international trade and commerce. Furthermore, the Canal will stimulate the growth of tourist centers in the region. The Canal will increase the capability of the Philippine coast Guard to patrol and safeguard our eastern coastline.

  • Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Ri
    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. Key Words: commercialization, privatization, foreshore lands 1 COMMERCIALIZATION OF FORESHORE LANDS IN SELECTED MUNICIPALITIES IN THE CALABARZON REGION IN THE PHILIPPINES By: Mr.

  • 1 Economic Evaluation of Fisheries Policies in The
    ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF FISHERIES POLICIES IN THE PHILIPPINES Maria Rebecca A. Campos, Ph.D. Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines [email protected] Abstract The Philippines is surrounded with many fishing grounds. In spite of this, most fishermen in the area live in poverty, and their plight is getting worse, not better. Current fisheries policies for the area have failed to improve the situation but no research has been done to find out why. This report attempts to fill this information gap about the reasons for policy failure. Drawing on data from secondary sources and an original survey, it uses a bioeconomic model to simulate the effects of changes in the enforcement levels of three current policies: ban on electric shiners, fish cage regulation, and regulation of both electric shiners and fish cages. Investments of the government on different levels of enforcement were assessed using benefit cost analysis. The report assesses the effects of enforcing current fisheries policies more stringently. It finds that a substantial investment (PHP 614,000 per year) would be required to ensure compliance with regulations and that the benefits of achieving high levels of compliance would exceed costs by only a tiny margin. The situation would be transformed into one in which large and perhaps increasing numbers of people would continue to fish, expending larger amounts of effort to comply with various gear restrictions but, in all likelihood, harvesting no fewer fish. Because the bay is already overfished, catch per unit effort and marginal productivity would decrease.

(PIBCFI) Darwin Grant Value £169,050.00 Start/End Dates February 2005 – January 2008 Reporting Period and Report Number 01 February 2005 to 31 March 2006 (Report #1) Project Website Not yet available Authors William Oliver, Neil Aldrin Mallari, Errol Gatumbato and Arturo Manamtan 2. Project Area and Background The Polillo Archipelago in the Philippines is composed of 27 small islands and islets situated in Lamon Bay, 29 kilometers off the east coast of Luzon facing the Pacific Ocean. It forms part of Quezon Province in Region IVa or CALABARZON (Provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) and comprises a total of five municipalities, namely: Polillo, Burdeos, Panukulan, Patnanungan and Jomalig. This group of islands forms one of the most distinct sub-centres of endemicity within the ‘Greater Luzon Faunal Region’ or ‘Luzon Endemic Bird Area (EBA)’; one of the world’s highest conservation priority areas in terms of both numbers of threatened species represented and degrees of threat. The Polillos support several endemic species and subspecies of birds, reptiles and invertebrates, as well important populations of various globally threatened species, including the Philippine cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia), Gray’s monitor lizard (Varanus olivaceus) and Philippine jade vine (Strongylodon macrobothrys). This Polillo Islands have accordingly been recognised as a high conservation priority area all recent independent reviews on conservation priority areas of the Philippines.
