In the ASEAN for trace metals in the marine environment that Pollution in Philippine Coastal Waters Philippine Coastal Areas sustained Philippines, unfortunately, published studies on heavy metals in agencies at the national and local levels economic mussels are conspicuously few. recent study on mussels information as indicator that mussels from the monitored in charged with implementing a growth obtained from three seafood markets in Metro Manila suggested monitoring program appropriate for their that these were contaminated with Cu and Pb “at concentrations building on field sampling and trace element analytical mandates, including: that are unsafe for human consumption and thus, represents a health risk” (Dumalagan et al., 2010). This study intends to AM fabricated in the Philippines at cheaper price the DENR; Environmental Management validate the field performance of the artifical mussels (AM) in Bureau; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Philippine waters, by deploying the AMs alongside transplanted Resources; Department of Health; Mining green mussels Perna viridis. The prime objective of this study is companies; LGUs that have monitoring to determine and compare the spatial and temporal patterns of programs associated with their Integrated metal accumulation of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) between the AMs with those of the Manila Bay Advisory Committee of the transplanted P. viridis under field (marine and brackishwater) conditions. In addition, we intend to test the economic viability of exporting companies in the Philippines a locally-produced AM (subject to and considering copyrights on that are required HACCP certification by the device, if any). science community in the country who will be exposed to novel and innovative technologies that can be adapted for local use; and the science communities in other countries especially those associated with the PEMSEA program as the project will provide a prototype in the implementation of an AM-based trace element monitoring program.
