Aquatic Resources in the Philippines and the Extent of Poverty in the Sector

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific

Creation date: 2002

This report presents an overview of the state of aquatic resources in the Philippines, its performance and importance in the Philippine economy, and explores the situation of poverty in the "aquatic resources sector." The report describes the policy environment that guides the action of key actors in the sector. The report also provides a general analysis of some trends in relation to factors that keep the poor from participating and benefiting from aquatic resource management, based on the perspectives of the authors. The general analysis should be considered "a first go" by the authors at pointing readers to potential entry points for programme intervention on poverty-focused programmes in the aquatic resources sector. The report describes initiatives that have been carried out in the past and gives a general assessment of where poverty focused work may still be needed.
