Remarks:

Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

*Dissolved oxygen in Navotas station fell within the borderline level. Acceptable continouos level for DO must be greater than 5.0 ppm. Chemical parameters e.g. nitrite, ammonia and hyfrogen sulfide that may cause stress or death to aquatic organisms were not detected and probably not present. Other physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, transparency and carbon dioxide have levels favorable for fish culture. Recommendations: Remove plastic and other solid wastes present in the coastal shores. Regulate wastes coming from agriculture and poultry or livestocks that may be carried by Binambang River to Balayan Bay. Regular monthly monitoring of water quality must be conducted during the duration of the seaweed farming and mariculture project. Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

Overview of the Mariculture Zone

Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

MARICULTURE ZONE  Mariculture Zone is an area from 100 to 400 has. or more encompassing coastal waters of several barangays ……  Mariculture area are chosen because of its diverse and productive environment suitable for commercial mariculture development, access to existing infrastructure support in terms of fish port, ice plants; BFAR training and laboratory facilities and accessibility to input supply and markets…..  The mariculture zone is projected to produce different target finfishes for sea cage culture, such as: bangus, siganid, grouper, red snappers, seaweed farming, aquasilviculture, mussel culture, pearl oyster culture and searanching of lobsters and seahorses in coral reef & sea grass areas.

Concept  Industrial estate concept  Investors only has to pay for annual lease which amount is less than the cost to acquire and develop raw areas for its need.  Participatory involving LGUs, Fisherfolk Organizations, NGAs & NGOs  Fisherfolk focused  Holistic – all concerns are being addressed to include infrastructure, capability building, production, marketing and other ancillary industries

Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

The Republic Act 8550 (Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998) advocates paradigm shifts on:

FROM

TO

1. Open access

Limited access

2. Production focus

Resource conservation and management

3. Productivity programs 4. Stakeholders as resource users

Coastal resource management programs Stakeholders as resource managers

5. Highly centralized management

Decentralized management

(RA 8550) Chapter 2 , Article 1,  Section 22. Demarcated Fishery Rights.- The LGU concerned shall grant demarcated fishery rights to fishery organizations/cooperatives for mariculture operation in specific areas identified by the Department  Section 22.1 Identification of Mariculture Areas. The Department, through BFAR, in cooperation with the LGUs concerned, shall identify municipal waters suitable for mariculture operations and establish the linear boundaries of the area to be declared as demarcated fishery area.

Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

Rationale  Yield from capture fisheries is unpredictable and widely accepted to have reached a point of declining productivity  With problems of over fishing, destructive fishing, pollution and loss of marine habitat  Municipal fisheries production will continue to decline- as the increasing population continue to even exert more pressure on dwindling marine resources  In the future our costal villages will find capture fisheries an increasingly difficult source of food and livelihood.

Ang Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Kostal ng Balayan [ANAKBALAYAN], Inc.

Rationale  Mariculture zone development is a novel BFAR-LGU initiated economic enhancement strategy-that is private sector led, involving key infrastructure development and technology transfer that will equip fishermen cooperatives, associations and investors to venture cost effectively, securely and sustainably different mariculture proejcts.
