Identifying the collection sites for the wild seeds of a highly valued species is crucial for the conservation and management of its wild population and habitat. This study is the first to document the distribution and the characteristics of spiny lobster puerulus collection sites in Palawan, Philippines. The data were obtained from various key informants, site visits, and historical imagery from Google Earth Pro and Sentinel 2A of Copernicus between January 2021-December 2023. The data were loaded into the QGIS v3.28 software to produce a map of each locality projecting the distribution and characteristics of spiny lobster puerulus collection sites. The results showed that the collection began in the municipality of Sofronio Española in 2019 and eventually spread southward and northward along the east coast of Palawan. The municipalities on the east coast of Palawan such as Sofronio Española, Narra, and Roxas had the highest number of collection sites, whereas fewer on the west coast such as in Rizal. Most of the collection sites were located generally along the intertidal zones or embayment with sandy-muddy to rubble substrates adjacent to mangrove forests, or within seagrass or seaweed, and coral reef ecosystems. To conserve and manage the spiny lobster puerulus fishery, the revision of the provincial ordinance on spiny lobster puerulus collection in Palawan should include the proper zoning of collection sites, imposing catch limits, and annual catch monitoring. Venturing into spiny lobster aquaculture can help reduce the fishing pressure and enhance the earnings of the people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
