State of the Mangroves: Bani

I. Tambac Bay, Lingayen Gulf – 8.56km. Brgys. : San Miguel Aporao

II. Olanen bay, West Philippine Sea – 4.87 km. Brgys.: Colayo Centro Toma Dacap Sur San Simon

Municipal Population – 46,225 (NSO 2010) Coastal Area – 6,294 Has. Coastal Population – 10,868

PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME:

Tambac Bay: 1. Aquaculture 2. Salt Making 3. Farming 4. Fishing

Olanen Bay: 1. Fishing 2. Charcoal Making 3. Farming

SOCIAL PROBLEMS: 1. Municipal water boundary disputes at Tambac Bay. - As per NAMRIA Map, Alaminos City and Bolinao common Coastal Terminal Point is at the Bani estuary ‘Wawa” thereby making Bani as a non - coastal municipality. 2. Lax implementation / enforcement of fishery, coastal and forestry – related laws and

ordinance. - Declining fish catch due to overfishing. - Denuded forest due to cutting trees for charcoal. 3. Illegal structures along riverine and coastal areas - Residential houses, piggeries, toilets and piggeries along coastal areas triggers water pollution. 4. Erosions, siltation and sedimentation of river system and coastal areas - These are causes of eutrophication of rivers. 5. Poor Waste Management -Inefficient garbage collection. Only 1 garbage truck is catering the town. 6. Natural Hazards - Flood prone areas in coastal and riverine barangays facing Tambac Bay. - Tsunami and erosion prone areas in coastal barangays facing Olanen Bay. 7. Absence of Municipal Tourism Plan - Though Bani is making a name in ecotourism because of Bangrin MPA, scenic beaches, class A cave, tourism remains a low priority of the LGU.

1. Erosion and sedimentation - Shallowing of rivers, 5 rivers in Bani drain to a common estuary causing its shallowing and poor inefficient flow and ebb of tidal water. 2. Flooding - Occurs in low lying barangays causing escape of fish stocks, reduced palay production and endanger lives of residents. 3. Storm Surge, Waves and Typhoons - The strongest Typhoon Emong lashed the municipality in 2009, forced coastal and riverine communities evacuate in higher grounds to save their lives.

Area of old Mangroves Stands - 2,018 hectares Area planted within the last 10 years - 37.05 hectares reforestation - 32.41 hectares riverine reforestation

Mangrove Distribution in the municipality of Bani

1. Source of Food - Fish, Prawn, Crabs, Shellfish and others. 2. Source of Charcoal 3. Tourism

4. Serves as nursery ground of aquatic resources. 5. Protection of coastal areas and communities from storm surge and typhoons.

- With a total of 23.05 has. Coastal & 30.71 has. riverine reforestation

- Increases fish catch from 2.0 kgs. in 1995 it becomes 3.25 kgs. in 2000 and becomes 6.68 kgs. in 2007;

- Serves as nursery ground for fishes, crustaceans, shell fish; feeding on litters and detritus;

- Serves as sanctuary for shore birds; - Serves as buffer weakening gusty winds and water surge in

times of typhoons; - Absorbs organic nutrients from solid waste flowing down from

Bani to Tambac Bay; - Reduces river bank erosion/siltation from the 5 river system

draining to the estuary - Mangrove reforestation as a livelihood increases the income of

fishermen.

Future Plans 1. Conduct of periodic IEC/advocacy on coastal habitats protection and resources management; 2. Formulation of specific management plan for primary coastal habitats; 3. Establishment and maintenance of MPA/MS and nature reserves; 4. Enactment of ordinance and/or enforcement of relevant national and local laws; 5. Adoption/ implementation of best practices in coastal management, i.e., mangrove and seagrass rehabilitation/restoration.
