Tayabas Bay and Pagbilao Bay


Philippines is a very known country for its natural resources, there are many in particular, but due to its archipelagic arrangement in the earth, wetlands are indeed one of the most abundant sceneries found in the country.In a great variety of wetlands in this country, Tayabas Bay and Pagbilao Bay are two of the specials for its huge fisheries, these bays are majorly supplying wet goods in the Metro, but besides the food that it provides, besides the industries and products, the wide mangrove forest serves as the place's protection from the violent movement of the waves created by typhoons and other calamities, this may be the reason why this place is rather a great way to establish a fish pond or a farm of aquatic species. Tayabas Bay and Pagbilao Bay for that matter, even if there are things causing disrupting events, are known for its quiet waters.


However there are inevitable changes of nature due to human use, some are fairly not just happening on water, but on land too, a provided danger of erosion due to excessive slash and burn may be experienced and this activity may also give more reason for the place to be more humid, as this place maintain a humid tropical climate ranging a little more or less 28 degrees, people might have been adding some chemicals around the place for it to become more humid and toxic. Going into the industry of fisheries, this industry could also lead the pollution of the bays, for it's uncountable number of ponds, there breed many more and various kinds of fish that will have to share one contained area for their everyday food, and disposal as well. and people being more harsh than the nature's natural phenomenons, some of them use dynamites for fishing which is a very irresponsible way to preserve what their industry needs, the home of their fish, the coral reefs, and after all the distraction of humans to nature, humans clearly forgot themselves too, as they constantly destroy the resources for their own sake, they also destroy their health and their income, to have some thought, people have been using chemicals which in case, will affect their own health as well, and as they destroy their resources, they destroy their income and industries.

Counting days, nights, and probably years, extrudes many people to notice the changes of the ecosystem, and they have even planned to have a conservative act known as The Agroforestry and Mangrove Forest Research Center at Talipan in Pagbilao Bay, this includes 114 ha of good quality mangrove forest protected as a faunal sanctuary, this center was established in 1975 by the Forestry Research Institute, and also a mangrove rehabilitation project has been established by the same Institute on the Bondoc Peninsula.
