Number of gears

Yes. The
identification of
the type of
destructive and
unfriendly
methods/gears
within MFG will
provide a picture
of the contributors
on fishing pressure
Yes. This unit is
appropriate as it
tells what fishing
gears are used,
consequently, the
pressure within
MFG.
Yes. Only the legal
methods and gears are
within the records of the
MAO through fisher’s
registry, permit and
licensing. The list of
destructive and
unfriendly methods must
still be provided for the
local enforcers to
identify.
Other indicators not reported by Ecofish for this result area:

an- MPA (AMPA).
Yes. Ecofish through
their intensive
monitoring on fishery
have records of the
number of different gear
types including dynamite
fishing, use of toxic
substances and
compressor fishing (for
the latter it was not
considered/declared by
LGU as illegal).
the methods/gears
within MFG will
provide a picture on
the source of stress on
the habitat and the
resource; the quantity
indicates the degree of
contribution of these

unfriendly gears to the
fishing pressure. A
reduction of which
could lead to less or
eliminate fishing
pressure from this
source.
