The attractive price for spiny lobster (Panulirus spp.) puerulus has recently encouraged many fishers to engage in its collection as an alternative livelihood at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This booming fishery prompted the investigation of the settlement traps, luring/shading materials, trap installation and harvesting methods, and problems encountered in the spiny lobster puerulus fishery in Palawan, Philippines. Reviewed videos posted on social media, personal observation, and data gathered from key informants (KIs) revealed the use of various modified and newly developed settlement traps. The most common were the concrete cylindrical and disc-shaped traps used by 63.33% of the KIs. Some KIs (40%) provided the settlement traps with luring/shading materials like Sargassum thalli. Settlement traps were mostly installed using the stake-hanging method. The harvesting season starts in March and ends in August where the daily collection coincides with the moon phase. Fishers collected settled puerulus through diving or pulling the traps out of the water. However, some issues like unstable prices and the absence of fishing regulations threaten the sustainability of pueruli collection. Hence, the establishment of collection zones, issuance of fishing permits, price regulation, and long-term monitoring to maintain this promising fishery industry is suggested in crafting ordinances. Efficiencies of traps may also be investigated as an additional basis for policy recommendations.

Some types of literature created in the Islamic world and Europe during the medieval period describe Goryeo’s topography as an island or a group of islands instead of a peninsula. Such records have been mentioned several times in diverse fields, including history, geography, and cartography. This study reviewed medieval Islamic literature and European literature published in the Islamic world and Europe, respectively, over hundreds of years. It organized records describing Goryeo, as well as Silla and Joseon—kingdoms established before and after Goryeo, respectively—as an island or group of islands and analyzed the background that caused medieval Arab and European people to regard these places as such. The analytical results indicate that the background for medieval Arab and European people’s perception of the Korean Peninsula as an island or group of islands differed by region and period. This study’s results suggest that these inaccurate records on Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon were created because writers who never traveled to the Korean Peninsula referred to false knowledge passed down from their ancestors and unreliable information directly or indirectly obtained from adjacent countries. They mixed fictitious and factual stories when writing their books.

This article examines the roles of gender in the Bagang system, an organisation of the anchovy supply chain in Mempakad Laut, Sabah, Malaysia bordering the Marine Protected Area named Tun Mustapha Marine Park. Gender study on marine ecosystem management is important to understand the involvement of men and women specifically on how they are complementing each other in ensuring effective resource management. This exploratory study was obtained via qualitative approach as the data collections method including Focus Group Discussion (FGD), interviews as well as field observation. A total of 30 informants participated in this study which were selected through purposive sampling and snowball sampling method. Findings reveal that men and women are equally important in the Bagang system. Men work on marine affairs and material development, while women work on product processing and marketing. The contribution of women in the sustainability of the Bagang system was significantly visible and was treated equally in most aspects notably in financial management and in the decision-makings from the initial to the end of the anchovy supply chain. These findings are very important as guidelines to plan a better sustainable marine management for the future and a fine example of how sustainable fisheries can be achieved in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals No. 5 which is gender equality.

The Philippines is the world’s third major contributor to global marine plastic pollution and the biggest polluter of riverine plastics into the sea. Several rivers in Philippines including those in Palawan, the country’s Last Frontier, are assumed to be the main pathways of land-based plastic waste into the ocean. However, variations, model estimations and plastic litter’s composition among rivers remains uncertain due to lack of field data. In this regard, the quantity, temporal variations and composition of plastic flux were studied in Pulot River and its tributary in Sofronio Española, Palawan. This aims to collect field data on floating macroplastics and its composition, as well as to determine the effect of flow velocity to plastic flux. Plastic flux was measured at three different locations along Pulot River, two hourly measurements during two different time of the day was made. The results showed significant difference on the amount of plastic flux during the morning and afternoon measurements. On the other hand, plastic flux during the weekends and weekdays measurements showed no significant difference. Instantaneous plastic flux and flow velocity showed significant positive correlation at all locations for all periods of measurements except the Pulot River Bridge during morning. Predominant plastic types are food packaging, plastic bottles, and toiletries. Multilayers and mixed plastics under the “Other” category were the most abundant plastic polymer classified. These results provide new insights on variations and prevalence of plastic flux in Pulot River which may benefit future long-term monitoring efforts and plastics pollution mitigation strategies.
菲律宾是全球海洋塑料污染的第三大主要贡献者，也是流入海洋的河流塑料的最大污染者。菲律宾的几条河流，包括该国最后边境巴拉望岛的河流，被认为是陆地塑料垃圾进入海洋的主要途径。然而，由于缺乏实地数据，河流之间的变化、模型估计和塑料垃圾的组成仍然不确定。为此，研究了巴拉望省Sofronio Española Pulot河及其支流塑料通量的数量、时间变化和组成。本研究旨在收集漂浮宏观塑料及其组成的现场数据，并确定流速对塑料通量的影响。在普洛特河沿岸的三个不同地点测量了塑料通量，在一天中的两个不同时间进行了两次每小时的测量。结果表明，在上午和下午的测量中，塑料通量的量有显著差异。另一方面，周末和工作日的塑料通量测量结果没有显著差异。除清晨普洛特河大桥外，各测点瞬时塑性通量与流速均呈显著正相关。主要的塑料类型是食品包装、塑料瓶和洗漱用品。“其他”类别下的多层塑料和混合塑料是分类最多的塑料聚合物。这些结果为普洛特河塑料通量的变化和流行提供了新的见解，这可能有利于未来的长期监测工作和塑料污染缓解战略。

Souvenirs are elements of territorial communication, and they are examples of the marketing strategy of destinations. Souvenirs are objects that allow us to remember moments we have experienced and places we have visited. Drawing on the close relationships between places and souvenirs, this paper analyses cheese as a food souvenir in the island of Sicily. The method is based on a qualitative design which includes visits and interviews with local sellers in the food markets and food shops in Palermo, with the objective to reveal how cheese is protected and promoted as a symbol of Sicilian culture and heritage from a marketing perspective. Results of the paper show that cheeses made in Sicily are pivotal in the cheese marketing, while Italian cheeses also find their commercialization space. International cheeses are only available as styled cheeses also made in the country. Theoretical and practical implications are described.

The objective of this study is to analyze the degree of involvement of marine tourism companies in Corporate Social Responsibility actions with special reference to relational responsibility, taking into account certain characteristics of the companies that allow defining a profile of socially responsible companies. Results are presented distinguishing between different levels of business commitment to CSR, and results of the estimation of the applied logit models. The assessment made by companies of socially responsible actions shows that actions of the internal dimension have more weight, especially actions on human resource management and environmental actions. Of particular relevance is the positive influence of factors related to human resource management, adaptation to change, community development and the relationship with private agents on the likelihood of a company having a high level of commitment to CSR. The factor least valued by all the companies has been that of relations with public agents. Besides companies with a broader CSR strategy are younger and smaller in size.

Plastic pollution is an arising problem of our generation. Tons of plastics are globally produced affecting different coastal ecosystems. Plastics pile and end up in coastal areas, at the ocean surface, and in the coastal seabed. Almost 70% of plastics made are known to eventually sink in water, and it is suspected that ever-increasing amounts of plastics are accumulating in seabed sediments. However, there are limited studies on macroplastics in coastal seabeds in the different coastal ecosystems in the Philippines. This study aims to determine the prevalence, types, and density of macroplastic litters in the coastal seabed of Sultan Naga Dimaporo (SND), Lanao del Norte. A 100-m transect line with four quadrats measuring 5 m x 5 m, was delineated parallel to the seabed at the beaches of Barangay Pikalawag, Dabliston, Koreo and Sugod. Results revealed that all four sites were contaminated with plastic litter in which 55% were from Pikalawag, a residential area, 16% from Dabliston, a mangrove area, 15% from Sugod, a beach/tourism area, and 14% from Koreo, a non-residential area. The plastic density was 1.32 items/m2 for Pikalawag, and 0.32 to 0.37 items/m2 for the other areas. The waste collected was primarily food packaging (17%), plastic fragments (16%), and plastic bags (11%). The highest polymer type was LDPE (40%) followed by both multilayers (13%) and PET (13%). Based on the clean coast-index, Pikalawag can be categorized as extremely dirty while the other three sites were moderately clean. Overall, this study showed how the prevalence and composition of plastic litter vary in different coastal seabeds in SND, Lanao del Norte.

This study aimed to describe the procession of the ritual ‘Bersih Desa’ and analyze the existence of the sacred dance ‘Topeng Kona’ as a tool for validating the ritual ‘Bersih Desa’ in Blimbing Village, Bondowoso Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The intelligence and local wisdom possessed by the ancestors of Blimbing Village, was able to give birth to masterpieces of high noble value in the ritual ‘Bersih Desa’, such as ‘Topeng Kona’ dance, ‘Singo Ulung’ dance, Tandhe’ Bini’ and ‘Ojhung’ dance. The masterpiece was the result of the marriage of two cultures, namely Javanese culture (represented by the figure of Juk Seng or Juk Singo Ulung) and Madurese culture (represented by the figure of Juk Jasiman). The result of the marriage produced a migrant culture with a high value that differed from the culture of the migrant’s home region. The sacred dance ‘Topeng Kona’ was used as a medium to validate the ritual ‘Bersih Desa’ as a form of appreciation for Jasiman figures who came from Madura and became the member of the residents of Blimbing Village.

There are various locations designated as islands in popular and/or official usage that do not conform to the established definition of their being areas of land surrounded by water. After a discussion of the six types of mischaracterised islands in England, this short article provides a case study of one such location, St Ives Island, in the county of Cornwall. Discussion extends to possible historical causes of the area’s island designation and how this designation has been perpetuated in common usage, place naming and in tourism and product promotion. The case study highlights that the affective aspect of perceived islandness is more important in local contexts than fidelity to strict geographic definitions.

The COVID-19 crisis could act as a catalyst for a series of social, economic, and political changes since it has sensitized governments and institutions on the need for a structural paradigm shift in their growth models from a triple economic, environmental and social perspective. This article offers a case study of the Spanish island of Menorca and its incidence rates in comparison with other territories of the European Union and Spain. Furthermore, we offer a brief description of the current context of the island and its function during the 19th century as a point of control and containment of infectious diseases in the Lazaretto of Maó. This study intends to interpret how the COVID-19 management has been carried out considering the actions made at the State, regional (autonomous community), insular and local levels. The paper is focused principally on the preventive actions at the insular level to know if some of these actions made during the crisis Covid and insular particularities before the start of the pandemic are conditions for the control of the COVID-19 and its incidence rates on the island.
