 Small Philippine town draws up code to protect coastal resources
When Tubigon launched a Coastal Resource Management Program (CRMP) in 1992, the municipality in the island province of Bohol in central Philippines was starting to show the symptoms of a major ecosystem in crisis.
With the municipal waters of the town, whose name literary means "plenty of water", almost twice Tubigon’s land area, it was natural that about 45 percent of its almost 41,000 population depended directly or indirectly on the resources of the coastal ecosystem for their food and livelihood.
Unlike other communities that never got to see the error of their ways until it was too late, researchers from the Silliman University in the neighboring island of Negros visited the town and pronounced its coastal and marine resources as either depleted or destroyed because of destructive fishing activities in the area.

Tempted by the impression that there is a need for a fast craft service to offer a shorter route from Cebu going to Bohol (and vice versa), the company stopped its Luzon operation, and transfer to Cebu early last month.
The more popular route going to Bohol, is via Tagbilaran City which is the center/capital of Bohol province, however, Tubigon route offers shorter travel time with only one-hour and five-minute, and is currently dominated by slower boat services which consumes more than two hours travel time.
But, these the two shipping companies are plying the Cebu-Tagbilaran route, while the short-cut route in Tubigon is yet to be serviced by a fast craft vessel until the entry of Preclaro’s company.

Believing that the Cebu-Tubigon-Cebu route is more profitable, a Manila-based fastcraft company stopped serving a route in Luzon to have two vessels operating between Cebu and Bohol.

SCSSC may not have competition as far as travel speed is concerned, but slow boats with travel time of two hours—only an hour longer than MV Vanessa’s travel time—are threats to the company as they offer cheaper fares.
