What may be the biggest threat of the reefs in the Lingayen Gulf are the common fishers and the 26 commercial fishing companies who engage in mostly unregulated, cutthroat fishing. Thus, the reefs have been overexploited not only from overfishing itself, but also the methods used to capture fish. Common methods to capture fish in the Lingayen Gulf include blasting, and cyanide. However, commercial fishers prefer trawling to capture fish because the large yields produced. Unfortunately for the reef system in the Lingayen Gulf, many fishing methods such as blasting, cyanide, and trawling are non-discriminatory; in other words, blasting, cyanide, and trawling affect all reef life and not just the particular fish that fishers are targeting (Ochavillo, et al. 1989). ]]> 2021-05-09 09:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506178880 SDG Deprivations kaelmaribuenasedacomm https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506182920 2021-05-09 09:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506182920 Technological Advancement to address the Issue: SMART BOATS kaelmaribuenasedacomm https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506196738 As technology advances, it’s possible to envision a future where fleets of smart boats are equipped with advanced cameras, trackers, sensors and other data-gathering instruments.

Onboard computers will leverage advances in data analytics to process and analyze more data onboard than ever before.

Satellite and cellular modems will transmit data products to scientists, managers and seafood buyers wirelessly in close to real time.

Plus, being able to communicate easily with friends and family while at sea will help improve the quality of life, enticing a larger pool of potential workers.

By bringing the digital revolution to fisheries, we can empower fishermen and others to make decisions that lead to more fish in the water, more food on the plate and more prosperous fishing communities.

Commission of Audit raises concern over Pangasinan's improper waste disposal:

COA also said the province failed to establish materials recovery facilities, as required by law, which could have helped in the segregation of wastes.

It also noted the lack of a sanitary landfill in Pangasinan, finding that the provincial government still dumps its trash in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Tarlac through a contract with the Metro Clark Waste Management Corporation.

Essentially, the process would see an underground network of tubes linking homes and designated outlets to a waste collection center. People would have a bin for general waste, organic waste, and paper waste, and would sort their rubbish and recycling as is standard today. When the bins reach a certain limit, the bottom would open to “flush” the waste out through vacuum tubes. No more putting the bins out. ]]> 2021-05-09 10:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506241422 Positive Effect kaelmaribuenasedacomm https://padlet.com/kaelmaribuenasedacomm/eiff3hs61kmqg9mk/wish/1506248849 A better and convenient method for residents to dispose trash and improved collection efficiency.
