Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and complex world of coral reef fishing in the Philippines, a crucial activity for the nation's economy and sustenance since ancient times. The author, a dedicated observer of the Philippine marine environment, examines the various fishing methods employed, highlighting both the traditional and the contemporary, from the ancient practice of using poisons to the sophisticated Japanese drive-in net, known as the *muro-ami*. The book shines a light on the perilous state of Philippine reefs, threatened by the destructive practices of dynamite and poison fishing. The author emphasizes the need for conservation and sustainable practices, arguing that these methods, while seemingly efficient, ultimately lead to the depletion of vital resources, leaving future generations with a barren and unproductive ocean. The author advocates for responsible fishing practices, such as handlining, the use of fish pots, and the introduction of the trammel net, a method that has proven successful in other parts of the world. Ultimately, the book offers a compelling call for a responsible approach to reef fishing, arguing that the future of this vital resource depends on a balance between utilization and preservation.
