 Evolution and continuing challenges of coastal management in the Philippines
In 1957, motivated only by their need for firewood and timber, the people of Banacon, a sparsely vegetated island in Getafe, Bohol, began planting mangroves in what is now regarded as the biggest man-made mangrove forest in Asia.
In the mid-70s, Genu Philippines, a seaweed processing firm, introduced seaweed farming to Hingotanan Island in Bien Unido, Bohol, and inadvertently transformed its residents from being dynamite fishers to seaweed farmers.
In Bohol, an inter-LGU, multi-agency, multi-sectoral law enforcement group was created to meet the challenge of coastal law enforcement, waging a successful campaign against illegal fishing in the province.

 2. OVERVIEW OF PHILIPPINE AQUACULTURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In a study by Posadas (1988), the estimated 2,747 farmers in Sibutu, province of Tawi-tawi (southernmost Philippine province) occupied a total area of only 2,005 hectares which means an average holding of 0.73 ha per farmer.
In the province of Bohol, the 300 farmers in the Bien Unido municipality occupied only a total of 300 ha.
When the licensing of seaweed farming was still under the jurisdiction of the national government, an upper limit of one hectare per farm was set by a Fisheries Administrative Order, (FAO No. 108, Series of 1973) for individuals and 30 hectares for partnerships, corporations and cooperatives.

 Waray-waray defended
Horacio de la Costa mentioned that the revered ruler of a part of Bohol at the Spanish contact was known as "Waray Tupung" (i.e., No Equal).
This obviously Waray-waray chief probably ruled a territory that included the present towns of Bato in Leyte and Bien Unido in Bohol, whose municipal governments are still disputing over the ownership of an islet and a shoal that are sites of a multi-million seaweed farm in the Camotes Sea.
Bagasumbol was probably Lapulapu's "provincial" domain, while Mactan might have been his "urban" domain for trade and ethnic relations with Cebu, an international trade center during his time.

 4. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PHILIPPINE AQUACULTURE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
There is no recent study on the social and economic aspects of seaweed farming to match the extent of the study conducted by Posadas in 1988.
However since there has been no radical change in the technological status after the discovery of the high yielding variety known as tambalang in 1973, most of Posadas’ observations covering the Sibutu area in Tawi-tawi and Bien Unido in Bohol, are probably still valid.
The other study appeared in the Fisheries Statistics of the Philippines, 1992-1996, for unspecified Eucheuma species, Gracilaria and Caulerpa in Bohol and Cebu and was atributed to a Policy Studies on Selected Fishery Industries conducted by the Strive Foundation (1998).
