ranching" to agree to the survey and would tell
us about livelihoods and income, but
often we would talk to talk to women
about spending/consumption. It took
us longer than expected because
many people not in the POs were
sceptical. We documented the
average HH income for the barangay
which is 10% below the poverty line
on average. Re consumption, gleaners
did not consume sandfish but instead
sold 75% to traders (high quality) and
25% to other families for local
consumption (lower quality). 20% of
income went to costs of generating
the income (boat fuel, nets for
fishing/baskets for collecting), 50% of
income was spend on food (fresh
fish/vegetable, rice), 25% on
education (fees, schools clothes) and
the remainder on other daily expenses
(tobacco, snacks, etc)

Social capital, income/economic We worked in a participatory way with
the women. This was initiated by the
Pos, with women gleaners asking for
the chance to focus on their
expereicne as they had greater
knowledge of sandfish than the men.
It was very successful as the women
are used to working in groups and
enjoyed the chance to have their
perspective and knowledge
understood and valued. For the
researchers we learned that women
have greater access to the resource on
a daily basis, but when it came to
decision making on sandfish, it was
not normal for them to be consulted,
and their husbands made the
decisions.

 Descriptive notes and Key Points

Initial 7-part survey wherein

members of the project were
interviewed regarding their
employment, household expenses
and credit and access to public
services. Demographic profile shows a
high number of participants
belonging to the age bracket of 51-55
with the lowest at 36-40. Main source
of income is fishing, however, some
are also involved in farming and salt-
making. Food is the largest and most
common expenditure of the members
monthly and annually, followed by
others, and education. Household
assets are common and while credit is
accessible in the community, health
services are rarely sought.
All of the participants were sea
cucumber gatherers/collectors prior
and saw it as an alternative source of
livelihood, tracing back in the 70's.
While most of them spend around 4
days a week in collecting before, they
noticed a decreasing trend of sea
cucumber individuals gathered per
week as the years go by (from 600
individuals in the 70's to 5 individuals
in 2009). Some are directly involved
with the project and the impact of
the loss of sea cucumber to their
livelihood was given emphasis during
the discussion. They narrowed down
the reason for the collapse in the
fishery namely, unregulated
harvesting and increased resource
users. Most participants believe that
the natural stock may have a low
chance to none to recuperate due to
the current fishery pressure.

 Descriptive notes and Key Points

Initial 7-part survey wherein

members of the project were
interviewed regarding their
employment, household expenses
and credit and access to public
services. This is initiated by CLERA
and CSWCD students. The survey
involved those who are involved in
the project (intervention) and those
who are not involved
(control).Fishing is also the main
source of income in Sablig, while
most households have additional
sources of income. Income is
primarily spent on food. Credit is
readily accessed by the community
while social services for healthcare
can be scarce.

Perception surveys revealed that the

presence of the sea ranch in the
area raised awareness and increased
knowledge on the ecological and
economical value of sea cucumber
resources. Cooperation among
members were observed to
strengthen with the support from
the local government unit.
Community members think that the
sea ranch could be a potential
alternative source of income if the
sandfish can grow into marketable
sizes. Women are mainly gatherers
of different species of sea
cucumbers which they sell to
processorts or process themselves,
earning about 300 to 1200 PHP a
month.
