1. Introduction1.1 Background* The stock enhancement and grow-out culture

of Abalone is made an important part of Taggat NorteMarine Protected Area. It is a MPA-based, considering

that it would be easier to manage because activitieswithin the MPA are regulated and the area is protected.

* Restocking of abalones within the marinesanctuary will hasten the recovery of this threatenedand depleting marine resource which have decreased in

population/production due to overharvesting in thewild.

* Grow-out of abalone will be undertaken withinthe marine reserve within the MPA.



5/32

Introduction . . . Background

* More or less all the 134 fishermen of TaggatNorte with an average monthly income of P6,000.00from fishing are affected with the establishment of MPA,thus a need to have alternative livelihood project.

Why abalone (Haliotis asinina)

* Abalone has been known as one of the marinespecies of high economic importance. It contributes tofood production and human health and nutrition. It isnutritious high in calcium and protein, palatable.

* Acconding to BFAR, there is an increasing

demand of abalone in the world market, but supply islow. It is expected then to command better price.



6/32

* Proposed restocking area for the Abalone(Taggat Norte Marine Protected Area)clean,clear, with high salinity salt water with rocky

substrate suitable for grow-out* Haliotis asininagrow faster than other

abalone species (BFAR) like that of the abalonepresent in the MPA.

* Availability of juveniles for stocking fromBFAR-High Value Species Hatchery, Taggat Sur,Claveria, Cagayan and from Sta. Ana.

* Shorter culture period as compared toother abalone species.

* Readily available and abundant feed(seaweeds, gracilaria) as the area is veryaccessible to the Gracilaria farm of BFAR at PataEast.

5. Lessons learned/Good Practices- Close coordination, collaboration, and linkages and

partnerships are effective in facilitatingimplementation of activities/tasks.

- It is always good to start a project right.- If there is a will, there is a way.- Opportunity knocks but once- Regular monitoring and patrolling of MPA & sea water

is imperative for law enforcement. Granting incentivesis more effective than disincentive system.

- Review of fishery code and other related laws- Provision of incentives to volunteer workers like the

fish warden/bantay dagat

- Seek for accreditation of organization to the SB forrepresentation to special bodies in the LGU- Participative bottoms-up planning leads to a more

effective and efficient implementation, and monitoring
