Introduction

Aquatic Resources in both marine and fresh water habitats provide Filipinos with small scale/ family- based livelihood to alleviate poverty and are sources of cheap protein and other nutrients. This supports the importance of exploring the other components of the country’s marine ecosystem.

We now have a productive seaweed industry and successful fish and shellfish aquaculture activities through improved technologies. (Paciente A. Cordero, Jr. D. Sci.)

Macro Fauna and Flora constitutes a lot in man’s search of food and income. In the locality alone, most of the people have been dependent on the sea for their economic needs and stability. They began to explore and exploit the resources they can get and can be benefited. Some of them have resorted to illegal fishing gears. This has been true in the Northern Iloilo and specifically true in Estancia, Iloilo.

In his keynote address, during the first National Symposium in Marine Science at UP Marine Science Institute, Bolinao Marine Laboratory, Pangasinan, Philippines on May 16-18,1990, Rafael D.

    Marine habitats are in grave danger due to humans and Mother Nature. Hurricanes, typhoons, storm surges, and tsunamis are factors in which contributes to the destruction of marine habitats and are caused by Mother Nature. Human’s destruction to these habitats is much worse due to the fact that Mother Nature’s destruction is mostly temporary, while humans leave more of a lasting footprint on the habitats because of our persistence. (National Geographic, n.d.). Marine habitat destruction caused by humans are wetlands being filled for further development, runoff water which carries chemicals, pollutants, and wastes are pumped back into the water without…

    “We all have a romantic vision of the ocean being a vast, limitless territory open to all. The truth is nearly 70 per cent of all fish stocks are considered fully exploited, over-exploited or severely depleted. The ocean 's ability to replenish fish has been outstripped by the industry 's ability to catch fish.”- Annabel Graham, Chinese activist and author.…

    Marine Overfishing

    • 506 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There is growing evidence that the increased amount of the fishing activity in the entire world is having a very serious effect on the health of the oceans as a whole. When commercially valuable species are overexploited, other species and habitat that share the same ecosystem are affected. According to many marine scientists and marine ecologists, unsustainable (overfishing) fishing is the greatest threat to the ocean ecosystems. For example, recent scientific studies suggest that overfishing of large shark species has had a ripple effect in the shark's food chain, increasing the number of species that are sharks’ victims, such as rays. Rays are usual prey for large sharks, which result in the declining stocks of smaller fish and shellfish…

    Fishing is an important industry in the Philippines. The average annual fish catch exceeds 2 million metric tons. Nearly half of the total catch is made by municipal and subsistence fishers who operate small boats in shallow coastal waters. The surrounding and inland seas of the Philippines yield crab, sardines, anchovies, tuna, scad, and mackerel. Shrimp, milkfish, and tilapia are raised in artificially created fishponds, in the fish-farming industry known as aquaculture. Much of the total catch is for domestic consumption, and about half of the protein in the Philippine diet comes from fish and other seafood. Shrimp and prawn exports to Japan are a significant source of foreign exchange. The pollution of coastal and inland waters and depletion of fish populations through overfishing have reduced the fishing sector’s productivity in some areas of the Philippines.…

    In a remote fishing village in the Philippine archipelago, coastal fishers responded to falling fish stocks by working harder to catch them. The combination of dynamite, longer workdays, and more advanced gear caused stocks to fall faster. On the edge of crisis, this small community decided to create a no-take marine sanctuary on 10% of its coral-reef fishing grounds. In these terms the problem occurred not only the fishermen but also the people in the area because they worry about the source of income of most of the residence. The marine activity problems has been observed by the people because they are directly affected and in through the negative impact that affects the people remedial measures should be implemented to stop and avoid larger marine problems.…
