The marine biodiversity of the four seas in southern Philippines, namely, the Moro Gulf, the Davao Gulf, the Sarangani Bay, and the Sulawesi Sea, was reviewed. The biodiversity in the shallow marine waters is similar to those in other parts of the country. The biodiversity is also in a similar conservation status, that is, in various degrees of depletion. But it is possible that there are marine species that are unique to these seas. This is especially true of the Sulawesi Sea, which is characterized by great variation in terms of habitat and depth. The importance of the resources in the four seas lies in the contributions of some species, such as tuna fishes, to the livelihoods of coastal populations in the area.

The conservation status of Amblonyx cinereus in terms of abundance and threats along Pinamualan and Ilian streams in Dumaran, Palawan were assessed. Along Pinamualan stream, three out of 17 stations and one at Ilian stream were chosen as observation sites based on the abundance of otter’s spraints and dens. Six consecutive night observations were allotted for each station. Relevant information was obtained through guide questionnaire from 44 respondents in northern Palawan and Puerto Princesa City. Sixteen A. cinereus individuals were noted playing, running and swimming between 2300H to 0525H. Prevalent threats along the two streams include slash-and-burn agricultural practices, cutting of trees, quarrying, soil erosion, recreation activities, trapping and hunting of wildlife and human settlements. Interviews revealed that curiosity ranked first among the reasons for catching otters. Farmers and fishermen consider otters as pests and also hunt them for food and as pets. The relentless hunting and habitat destruction reflect a very poor implementation of the laws on wildlife and environmental protection in Palawan. Strict law enforcement, proper information and education campaign and alternative livelihood programs are needed to address the issues.
