    New horizons for naval oceanography
    Dacanay, Rafael V.; Reyes, Rolando (Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 2002)
    Naval oceanography is a crucial field that extends beyond the traditional study of the sea, focusing on the investigation of all physical phenomena that influence naval operations. It encompasses the collection, processing, application, and dissemination of information across oceanography, hydrography, and meteorology. This discipline plays an essential role in daily naval operations and is increasingly vital for the effective performance of modern naval weapon systems. Oceanographic factors, including bioluminescence, internal waves, and shadow zones, have significant impacts on naval activities. Historical events, such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Normandy invasion, underscore the critical influence of oceanographic knowledge in naval history. The Philippine Navy has established the Naval Oceanographic and Meteorological Unit (NOMU) to manage oceanographic, hydrographic, and meteorological activities, supporting fleet operations and contributing to the development of marine science in the country.

    Ocean mapping and other marine activities of the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA)
    Carandang, Efren P. (Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 2002)
    This paper describes the various marine activities being undertaken by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) pursuant to its mandate as the central surveying, mapping and resource information agency of the government. NAMRIA gathers marine data through periodic hydrographic and oceanographic surveys and remote sensing techniques, and publishes the results in the form of nautical charts, bathymetric maps and other thematic maps. It also creates marine geographic information systems and databases. As steward of the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), the agency participates in international oceanographic data exchange programs, and also serves the marine data and information needs of the local marine science community. NAMRIA's data collection capability got a big boost with the acquisition this year of two multi-disciplinary survey vessels with state-of-the-art systems. With these vessels as platforms, NAMRIA will embark on the comprehensive charting of the Exclusive Economic Zone, and collaborate with the different marine science agencies in the conduct of multi-disciplinary oceanographic cruises.

    Defending Philippine maritime territory and marine resources: Initiatives and problems
    Carranza, Ruben R., Jr. (Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 2002)
    The significance of the Philippines' maritime territory and the complexities of its defense are examined. The speaker highlights the integral role of the country's waters in trade, food security, and resource provision. Challenges, including naval limitations and maritime intrusions, are presented, followed by a discussion of defense strategies like selective sea control. The speech concludes with a call for decisive policy actions, diplomatic solutions to territorial conflicts, and improved capabilities to safeguard the nation's maritime interests.

    Crabifier app to help identify mangrove crab
    Gahon, Shirley T. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2019-08-12)
    Crabifier, a mobile app that identifies mangrove crab species at the juvenile stage, was recently launched. This mobile application was developed by the Technologies for Biodiversity Use and Conservation (TechBiodive) Unit of the De La Salle University (DLSU). It is an output of the mangrove crab project, “Integrating Genomics with Image Analysis and Geographic Information System Technology for Improved Rearing of Mudcrabs,” funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD). Headed by Dr. Ma. Carmen Ablan-Lagman and Dr. Chona Camille Vince Cruz-Abeledo of DLSU, the team that developed the app includes Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center experts Dr. Ma. Rowena Eguia, Ann Francesca Laguna and Courtney Anne Ngo. The launch, which was held at the Multipurpose Hall, Bro. Andrew Gonzales, FCS, Hall, DLSU in July also launched another app, Biodiversity and Threats Monitoring App, BioMon.

    Vast potentials for fishery products
    Yap, Julio Jr (Panay News, Inc., 2017-11-07)
    With its vast natural resources, the Philippines is considered as one of the key players in the export market for fish and fishery products – taking into account the market demand and good prices being offered for these exportable commodities. Anchoring on these potentials, there is a need to address the inadequate supply of raw materials being encountered by some exporters, and to help small-medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) promote live and frozen fish and fishery products. The recent Fisheries Women Entrepreneurs’ Forum was able to identify some of the products with export potential, such as black tiger shrimp, prawns, crabs, tuna, abalone, lobster, octopus, cuttlefish, milkfish, seaweeds, groupers, squids, eel, siganid, and hair tail as products with export potential.

    PCAARRD’s Mussel Industry Strategic S&T Program
    Yap, Julio Jr (Panay News, Inc., 2018-10-29)
    The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) has expressed its commitment to assist in increasing the competitiveness of the mussel industry. Dr. Dalisay DG. Fernandez, director of the Inland Aquatic Resources Research Division of the DOST-PCAARRD made the statement during the First Philippine Mussel Congress which was recently held in Iloilo City. Through the DOST-PCAARRD’s Mussel Industry Strategic S&T Program, Fernandez shared that “efforts towards the development of processing and production technologies are being done to enable farmers to produce quality and safe cultured and processed mussel products.”

    Viability of producing functional food
    Yap, Julio P. Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2018-07-27)
    The production or processing of functional food is becoming one of the fast growing segments of the country’s food industry. Functional food contains both essential nutrients and health promoting non-nutrients. However, fish sauce and other fermented food products may not be considered functional food due to their high salt content. Fortunately, a project of the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas was able to produce fish sauce which is derived from mussel. Since this kind of fish sauce is low in salt, it can be a potential functional food and ingredient.

    Vulnerable ecosystems in Eastern Visayas
    Yap, Julio P. Jr. (Panay News, Inc., 2018-10-08)
    Biodiversity is an important factor in improving our ecosystem because each species of plants or animals, no matter how small, all have an important role to play. It is often used to measure the health of biological systems, and to determine whether there is a danger that too many species have become extinct. Because of its significance, the Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas Campus (PHSH-EVC) in Palo, Leyte emphasized the importance of preserving biodiversity in the region through the Biodiversity and Vulnerable Ecosystems Research (BiVER) Program.
