Seaweed health problems: Major limiting factors affecting the sustainability of the seaweed aquaculture industry in the Philippines Faisan, Jr., Joseph; Hurtado, Anicia Q. Critchley, Alan; Hurtado, Anicia; Neish, Iain The Philippines remains one of the top eucheumatoid seaweed producers worldwide. However, the reported seaweed health problems affecting farms have been one of the reasons for the decline in seaweed production in the country. Outbreaks of “ice-ice” disease (IID), epiphytic pests, and grazing problems have significantly reduced biomass yields and compromised carrageenan quality, directly affecting the livelihood of tens of thousands of families dependent on seaweed farming. In this chapter, we listed seaweed health problems based on type-association with the host seaweed plant and highlighted factors contributing to farm problems. Additionally, recommendations are presented that are relevant to the protection of the long-term sustainability of the eucheumatoid seaweed farming industry in the Philippines.

Communicating science information to the fishing community in the Philippines de la Cruz-Aranas, Joesyl Marie V.; Cabrias Alingasa, Rona Dhel; Superio, Daryl Mohamad Saleh, Mohamad Saifudin; A Rahman, Nur Atikah; Adi Kasuma, Shaidatul Akma The world is currently experiencing an age of information overload, as information about anything and almost everything is easily obtainable. However, essential information that could help a community strive and survive is often left unread in scientific papers and grey literature, thus unable to reach its intended audience. Fishers, specifically in developing countries such as the Philippines, are still known to be information-poor despite the rich scientific knowledge produced by concerned agencies. This chapter describes and analyses the information needs and seeking behaviour among fishers in the coastal communities in Iloilo, Philippines. Taking the initiative and time to profile how specific groups consume information can help narrow the information gap and aid concerned agencies to create and conceptualise successful, sustainable, and effective information, education, and communication campaigns.

Communicating the value of international grey literature: The Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts experience Vicary, Tamsin; Kalentsits, Maria; Lim, Florine; Superio, Daryl Leonard, Michelle; Thomas, Susan E. In collaboration with its partners, ASFA has worked across multiple platforms to raise awareness and understanding of the effective promotion of grey literature to the managers and users of this valuable information source. This chapter presents the outreach activities, promotional materials, and training sessions that have been successfully implemented to achieve this aim, and reflects on both successes and areas where improvements are yet to be made.
