Lake P alacpacin's telecenter: An example of effectivefishkill preventionBy Michelle Camille Correa (The Philippine Star) Updated June 09, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0)

MANILA, Philippines - The Batangas fishkill that took place last May 28 brought massive socio-economic

loss to fisherfolk communities with losses of over 752.6 metric tons of fish worth P57.226 million.

According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, lack of oxygen brought about bythe rainy season in Taal Lake was the primary cause of the fishkill.

The fishkill, however, can be prevented. During the first quarter of 2011, Ateneo de Manila University’sSchool of Science and E ngineering launched the Asia Pacific Telecommunity SHARE Project dubbed “ABroadband Farm to Market Ecosystem for Fisherfolk Communities.”

The project, which has its pilot location at Lake Palacpacin in San Pablo City, Laguna, makes use of anInternet communication technology that can warn fisherfolk when fishkill will occur, thus helping themharvest fish on time. It was created together with the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) and

partners from Japan and Thailand.

Instruments designed to measure the lake’s oxygen levels were set up around the lake. The servers were donated by the project’sJapanese and Thai partners.

Fisherfolk also play a crucial role in data gathering by inputting information through an interactive blog such as their catch of the day,be it tilapia, prawns, shrimp or some other seafood, as well as the condition of the lake as they see it.

The data collected by the servers and the information provided by the fisherfolk are then transmitted for analysis and interpretation byexperts at the Ateneo de Manila and it s partners through broadband Internet connection.

Information is subsequently di sseminated to the fisherfolk in easy-to-understand language. An early warning will hopefully help themcope with the occurrence of fishkill.

If successfully implemented at Lake Palacpacin, the project may be replicatedin other parts of the country.
