  • Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines
    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines Asuncion B. De Guzman, Alita E. Openiano, Marilou M. Ologuin and Jeanette J. Samson Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is an important natural resource shared by two provinces in northern Mindanao, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte, notable for being the deepest and the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. This wetland ecosystem supports a thriving freshwater fishery and the livelihood of more than 4,000 fishers. At least 19 types of traditional and ingenious modifications of fishing gears are used. On the average Lake Mainit fishers earn an estimated monthly income of Php4,340 which falls below the poverty threshold for an average family in rural Philippines. Part of a comprehensive resource assessment project in Lake Mainit is a socio- economic profiling and appraisal of the numerous intervention programs in fisheries management and livelihood development introduced into the lakeshore communities in an attempt to improve the ecological and socio-economic situation around the lake. The results of this assessment will provide the scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Mainit that shall, in turn, be integrated into the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) development agenda to help restore Lake Mainit fisheries to sustainable levels by addressing issues on declining water quality, regulation of fishing effort, and decreasing fisher income. Keywords: Lake Mainit, socio-economics, management issues, intervention programs, LMDA. INTRODUCTION Lake Mainit is an ecologically important resource within two provincial jurisdictions in the Caraga Region, namely, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, bordered by eight municipalities that comprise the Lake Mainit Watershed (Fig.

  • Closing the Protection Gap, Disaster Risk Financing: Smart Solutions For
    Closing the protection gap Disaster risk financing: Smart solutions for the public sector Every year natural and man-made catastrophes cause a distressing loss of lives and considerable economic costs around the world. Both industrialised and developing countries are affected. Surprisingly, both are also materially underinsured. This financing gap is borne largely by the public sector, and may create long-term fiscal instability at a time when government budgets are stretched. Furthermore rating agencies are starting to take a closer look at such contingent liabilities faced by public administrations. But there are ways to alleviate both the impacts and the costs of disaster by planning ahead. Insurance plays a critical role in effective disaster risk management helping communities get back on their feet faster. This report outlines tools and approaches proven to help governments, regions and cities, as well as the constituents they represent, to become more resilient.

    Weather Insurance for Farmers: Experience from Ethiopia Nahu Senaye Araya Session 5 Breakout Session 11 Weather Insurance for Farmers: Experience from Ethiopia1 Nahu Senaye Araya2 Paper presented at the IFAD Conference on New Directions for Smallholder Agriculture 24-25 January, 2011 International Fund for Agricultural Development Via Paolo Di Dono, 44, Rome 00142, Italy 1 Copyright of the paper is reserved by IFAD. The paper may not be reproduced in part or in full and in any form without written permission of the Conference Organisers at IFAD (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 The author is Chief Executive Officer of Nyala Insurance, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Summary Agriculture is the dominant sector in the Ethiopian economy where 83% of the population fully depends on and more than 43% of the GDP is generated. This sector in turn is dominated by a subsistence farming where more than 95% is a rain fed farming of which more than 90% owned by a smallholder (mostly less than half hectar) poor farmers. These smallholder farmers are highly exposed to the negative impact of climate change mainly reflected in shortage of rainfall (draught) in this part of the continent. The climate risk mitigation mechanisms existing in the country are more of informal traditional ways of risk sharing and risk smoothing mechanism. Whereas the covariant nature of the climate risk like draught cannot be copped with this traditional mechanisms. Therefore as an innovative means of market mechanism Nyala Insurance S.C. (NISCO) has introduced insurance products which can help in mitigating the impact of climate risk.

  • Gastropod Fauna in Key Habitats Surrounding Lake Mainit, Philippines with Notes on Snail-Associated Diseases 1Joycelyn C
    Gastropod fauna in key habitats surrounding Lake Mainit, Philippines with notes on snail-associated diseases 1Joycelyn C. Jumawan, 1Leonardo A. Estaño, 1Gemma H. Siega, 1Kariza A. Maghinay, 2Meriam M. Santillan, 1Jess H. Jumawan 1 Biology Department College of Arts and Sciences, Caraga State University; 2 College of Engineering and Information Technology, Caraga State University, Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines. Corresponding author: J. C. Jumawan, [email protected] Abstract. Lake Mainit is the deepest lake in the Philippines. Nonetheless, cases of schistosomiasis were also reported in several communities surrounding the lake adding to concern to the tourism in the area. This gastropod survey was conducted in ten barangays surrounding Lake Mainit to provide an inventory of gastropods and their possible preference to habitats surrounding the lake. Collection of samples was done monthly from February to November 2014. A total of fifteen gastropod species from nine families were identified, with four species endemic to the country. Of these species, only one, Vivipara angularis, was utilized for food, and is collected abundantly in the lake. Other species were either considered agricultural pests (Ampullaria luzonica, Pomacea luzonica) while others were known vectors of zoonotic diseases such as Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi, Melanoides tuberculata, and Radix rubiginosa. Notably, known vectors of schistosomiasis were found in rice fields and creeks but not in the lakeshore study stations. This study is the first documentation of gastropods in five habitats surrounding Lake Mainit and will be helpful as baseline data for researches on snail-associated zoonotic diseases in this area. Key Words: schistosomiasis, zoonosis, diversity, Caraga region. Introduction. Lake Mainit is the fourth largest lake in the Philippines, and the deepest in the country (LMDA 2005).
