The Agusan Marsh and the Agusan River Basin: The need for science-based development and management
(PCAARRD-DOST, 2013)
Marine protected areas in the Philippines: The case of Malalison island in community-based management of reef fisheries
(UNESCO Office, 2004)
The extensive Philippine coastline of more than 22,540 k m provides the natural habitat of a variety of flora and fauna that make the Philippine archipelago one of the centers of marine biodiversity in the world. Resource-use ...
Shrimp farming in the Asia-Pacific: environment and trade issues and regional cooperation
(Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development, 1995)

Aquaculture and the coastal environment
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1991)
Philippine aquaculture production mostly comes from pond culture (brackishwater) constituting 47% of the total 1987 production of 560,970 t followed by mariculture of seaweeds, mollusks and finfishes. Fishponds have increased ...
Mangroves, fishponds, and the quest for sustainability
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
Aquaculture, the farming of shrimp and other useful aquatic and marine plants and animals in artificially confined and tended ponds, pens, and cages, ranks as a phenomenal success story in global food production. In 1975, ...
Are mangroves worth replanting? The direct economic benefits of a community-based reforestation project
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Competition for coastal land use and overexploitation have reduced or degraded mangrove coverage throughout much of their distribution, especially in South-east Asia. Timber production was the initial motivation for early ...
The way forward with ecosystem-based management in tropical contexts: Reconciling with existing management systems
(Elsevier, 2012)
This paper discusses some of the challenges and opportunities that can arise when implementing ecosystem-basedmanagement (EBM) in tropical nations. EBM creates a new series of challenges, problems, and opportunities that ...
Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...
