- W152866486 abstract "Eight mangrove forest stands with a total of 473.52 hectares (ha), and 105.38 ha of fishponds were surveyed in Ticao Island, Masbate, Philippines in 2010 and 2011 to determine areas for rehabilitation. The stands varied from a very small (0.9 ha) monospecific stand in Barangay Sawang, Batuan to large (244.72 ha) and diverse stands like the Bongsanglay Natural Park, Batuan. Species composition is diverse, consisting of 23 species of true mangroves and 24 species of mangrove associates. Avicennia marina and Nypa fruticans, were the most common, occurring in all sites surveyed. The rarest were Pemphis acidula, Aegiceras floridum, and Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, all of which were found only in the Bongsanglay Natural Park, Batuan. The highest species number was obtained in Sitio Baladingan, Barangay Famosa, Monreal (19) while the lowest was in Barangay Sawang, Batuan (8). Three species, Ceriops decandra, Aegiceras floridum, and Sonneratia ovata, are listed in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2010) Red List as globally near threatened, while another two species, Avicennia lanata Ridley and Intsia bijuga, are listed as vulnerable. The density of mature trees ranged from 600 stems per hectare (ha) in Barangay Santa Rosa, San Jacinto to 6,557 stems per ha in Sitio Baladingan, Barangay Famosa, Monreal. The high variation may be due to the patchiness of the species within the forest. In terms of basal area (BA), Sawang, although having one of the lowest tree densities, had the highest BA (199.69 per square meter [m2] per ha) contributed mostly by very old Sonneratia alba with circumference at breast height ranging from 88 to 189 centimeters (cm). Based on tree density, Sawang and Sta. Rosa both obtained the highest dominance index (C) of 1.0 and consequently the lowest species diversity index (H′) of zero while Pandan obtained the lowest C of 0.08, and consequently the highest H′ of 5.23. In terms of species importance, S. alba in Sawang and A. marina in Sta. Rosa obtained the highest values of 300. This is because the Sawang stand was very small (0.9 ha) with S. alba being the dominant tree species in the area surveyed, while in Sta. Rosa, 2 Mangrove Rehabilitation in Ticao Island, Masbate, Philippines although the stand was bigger, the area surveyed was also dominated by A. marina. Rhizophora mucronata had the highest importance values in Sitio Pandan and Barangay Poblacion, Monreal; Barangay Burgos, San Jacinto, and Bongsanglay Natural Park, Batuan; Rhizophora apiculata in Barangay Famosa, Monreal and Barangays Tacdugan and Washington, San Jacinto; and Xylocarpus granatum in Sitio Baladingan, Barangay Famosa, Monreal and Barangay Daplian, San Fernando. Seedlings and saplings of three species were found the whole year round: Ceriops tagal, R. apiculata, and Rhizophora mucronata. The highest density of seedlings and saplings occurred in Daplian contributed mostly by Ceriops decandra. As in mature trees, the variation between plots was high due to the patchiness of the species within the forest. Also, the occurrence of seedlings is very much dependent on the time of sampling as flowering and fruiting is seasonal. The results indicate that the mangrove forests of Daplian, Tacdugan, and Famosa have natural regeneration and may just need species enhancement planting. Sawang and Sta. Rosa, meanwhile, need to be rehabilitated. In terms of secondary productivity, three species of mollusk, Geloina erosa Sol., Lutraria sp., and Vasticardium sp., and one species of crustacean, Scylla serrata, were commonly gleaned and harvested for food. Two mangrove nurseries were established: one in Ticao Island (Baladingan) and the other in Negros Island (Dumaguete City). In both nurseries, 19,167 seeds/propagules were germinated consisting of 13 uncommon species, half of which were directly potted. Survival rates of six species monitored were very high, ranging from 100 percent for X. granatum to 80–85 percent for C. tagal, except for S. ovata and S. caseolaris, which have zero germination. The low number of propagules is due to (1) seasonality in fruiting, (2) limited mother trees of rare species like Kandelia candel, (3) unusually low propagule yield, and (4) inclement weather conditions. The proposed areas for rehabilitation have been identified in Monreal (53.5 ha), San Fernando (1.5 ha), and San Jacinto (100 ha), the latter mostly idle fishponds and fishponds without approved leases. Soil analysis showed that Daplian has dominant medium coarse sand suitable for Sonneratia spp. while the rest had dominant silt-clay substrate suitable for Avicennia Mangrove Rehabilitation in Ticao Island, Masbate, Philippines 3 spp., Rhizophora spp., and Bruguiera spp. Of these, a total of 90 ha have been allocated funding by the DENR through its ICRM project. Enhancement planting has started at Sitio Baladingan and Ticao Island Resort with Bruguiera sexangula, C. decandra, and C. tagal. Bruguiera sexangula and K. candel planted in both sites showed high survival (80-90%) after two months. Ceriops tagal and C. decandra in Baladingan showed growth increment of 0.27 ± 0.06 and 0.18 ± 0.11 cm. Bruguiera sexangula in Baladingan had growth increment of 14.89 ± 4.06 cm after seven months Capacity building was given in two forms: training and technical assistance. Three trainings on mangrove ecology, management, and restoration were attended by participants consisting of farmers, faculty, and DENR and LGU staff. Volunteer cooperators for the Baladingan nursery were identified. Technical assistance was provided to the LGU and the DENR through assistance in mapping the mangrove forest and identifying areas for reforestation and rehabilitation as well as abandoned fishponds. The project has also provided the DENR and LGU with the seedlings necessary for mangrove rehabilitation. The participation of the DENR and LGU staff in the training and assessment has facilitated development of capacity for the integrative planning and management of mangroves. The DENR and the LGU must be more active in the reversion and rehabilitation of fishponds without approved leases, idle and abandoned fishponds, and in the protection of remaining mangrove forests and forest fragments. Reforestation must be multi-species based on soil types." @default.
