TAAL LAKE PROJECT

Three studies aiming to bring to the fore both positive and negative elements that have enormous impacts to the lake.

The Impact of Fish Cage Culture in Taal Lake. Will explore and quantify the impact of fish cage operation on the resource base and the economic life of the lake communities.

Tourism Industry in Selected Municipalities of the Taal Volcano Protected Landscape. Aims to provide baseline information on the tourism activities in different municipalities of the TVPL and further explore the ways in which to integrate this industry in lake conservation initiatives.

The Role of Women in Fisheries Conservation. Will place in clear perspective the positive, primary and enduring role of women in the changing livelihood options of the communities as well as their contribution and power in decision making in the micro level.
