Decline of Demersal Coastal Fisheries Resources in Three Developing

In this paper we review the results of a regional study that examined the state of demersal fisheries resources in the coastal areas of Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In each country time series of scientific trawl survey data (spanning 12–49 years, depending on the area) were used to assess changes in the total biomass of demersal species over time. All countries showed substantial declines in the total biomass. In Malaysia, the declines were greatest in the shallow depths (<50 m) where the biomass declined to 4–20% of the original estimates. In the Gulf of Thailand, by 1995 the total biomass estimates had declined to less than 8% of the 1965 estimates. In the Philippines, changes in the biomass were examined in different bays and fishing areas and the recent estimates of the biomass were 12–64% of the original estimates. -
Part Ii Metro Manila and Its 200Km Radius Sphere
PART II METRO MANILA AND ITS 200KM RADIUS SPHERE CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA 7.1 PHYSICAL PROFILE The area defined by a sphere of 200 km radius from Metro Manila is bordered on the northern part by portions of Region I and II, and for its greater part, by Region III. Region III, also known as the reconfigured Central Luzon Region due to the inclusion of the province of Aurora, has the largest contiguous lowland area in the country. Its total land area of 1.8 million hectares is 6.1 percent of the total land area in the country. Of all the regions in the country, it is closest to Metro Manila. The southern part of the sphere is bound by the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, all of which comprise Region IV-A, also known as CALABARZON. 7.1.1 Geomorphological Units The prevailing landforms in Central Luzon can be described as a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. On its northern boundary, the Caraballo and Sierra Madre mountain ranges separate it from the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya. In the eastern section, the Sierra Madre mountain range traverses the length of Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The Zambales mountains separates the central plains from the urban areas of Zambales at the western side. The region’s major drainage networks discharge to Lingayen Gulf in the northwest, Manila Bay in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the China Sea in the west. -

Oral History Interview, 2004. User Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 26 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 26 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Ralph E. Hacker, a Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin native, discusses his Navy service during World War II as a radioman aboard LST-925. Hacker talks about being drafted, boot camp at Great Lakes (Illinois), radio school at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and amphibious training at Camp Bradford (Virginia). Assigned to LST-925, he explains the capabilities of the ship and his duties as a radioman. He touches on boarding the brand-new ship in Boston, sailing through the Panama Canal, and delivering beer to Guadalcanal. Hacker touches on extra duty as mailman, living conditions, food, playing cards for fun, and listening to Tokyo Rose on the radio. He discusses being part of the invasion of Lingayen Gulf (Philippines) and being hit there by a suicide boat. Transferred to the flotilla staff aboard a different LST, he describes the invasion of Okinawa. After the war ended, Hacker touches on being based at Yokohama (Japan) for six months during the occupation. He mentions his homecoming, eventually returning to his pre-war job in Sturgeon Bay, and using the GI-Bill for a low-interest loan. Biographical Sketch: Hacker (1925-2010) served in the Navy during World War II. -

How Filipino Food Is Becoming the Next Great American Cuisine.” by Ty Matejowsky, University of Central Florida
Volume 16, Number 2 (2020) Downloaded from from Downloaded https://www.usfca.edu/journal/asia-pacific-perspectives/v16n2/matejowsky PHOTO ESSAY: Contemporary Filipino Foodways: Views from the Street, Household, and Local Dining, “How Filipino Food is Becoming the Next Great American Cuisine.” By Ty Matejowsky, University of Central Florida Abstract As a rich mélange of outside culinary influences variously integrated within the enduring fabric of indigenous food culture, contemporary Filipino foodways exhibit an overarching character that is at once decidedly idiosyncratic and yet uncannily familiar to those non- Filipinos either visiting the islands for the first time or vicariously experiencing its meal/ snack offerings through today’s all but omnipresent digital technology. Food spaces in the Philippines incorporate a wide range of venues and activities that increasingly transcend social class and public/domestic contexts as the photos in this essay showcase in profound and subtle ways. The pictures contained herein reveal as much about globalization’s multiscalar impact as they do Filipinos’ longstanding ability to adapt and assimilate externalities into more traditional modes of dietary practice. Keywords: Philippines, foodways, globalization Asia Pacific Perspectives Contemporary Filipino Foodways - Ty Matejowsky • 67 Volume 16, No. 2 (2020) For various historical and geopolitical reasons, the Philippines remains largely distinct in the Asia Pacific and, indeed, around the world when it comes to the uniqueness of its culinary heritage and the practices and traditions surrounding local food production and consumption. While the cuisines of neighboring countries (e.g. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China) have enjoyed an elevated status on the global stage for quite some time, Filipino cooking and its attendant foodways has pretty much gone under the radar relatively speaking Figure 1. -

The Socio-Economic Contributions of Marine Protected Areas to the Fisherfolk of Lingayen Gulf, Northwestern Philippines
Int. J. Environ. Res., 4(3):479-490,Summer 2010 ISSN: 1735-6865 The Socio-Economic Contributions of Marine Protected Areas to the Fisherfolk of Lingayen Gulf, Northwestern Philippines Vicente, J. A. 1&2* and Cerezo, R . B. 3 1Center for Environment and Water, Research Institute, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran 31261 Kingdom Saudi Arabia 2Pangasinan State University Graduate School, McArthur Highway, San Vicente, Urdaneta City 2428 Pangasinan, Philippines 3Pangasinan State University Binmaley Campus, San Isidro Norte, Binmaley 2417 Pangasinan, Philippines Received 20 March 2009; Revised 15 March 2010; Accepted 27 March 2010 ABSTRACT: The continuous degradation of the marine ecosystem leads to the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as a protective measure. Because of the wide array of benefits that can be gained upon its establishment, socio-economic contributions were taken into consideration using a descriptive survey method of research among the seven MPAs in Lingayen Gulf. Data revealed that members of the fisherfolk organization is dominated by married males, 30-50 years old, high school graduate, with 0-1 child, earns less than 5,000 pesos a month and fishing as the major source of livelihood. They participate “Moderately” in the management but scored “High” on linkaging/networking with other agencies. MPAs contributed “High” on social aspect despite a moderate contribution in recreation. A “Moderate” and “High” contributions were observed for economic and political aspect respectively. Among the socio-demographic profile, only the number of children is significantly correlated with the extent of participation in management but not with linking with other agencies. It is further revealed that participation is a good predictor of socio-economic contributions. -
