Fisheries and Aquaculture

Inland Fisheries

Considering that agriculture is the major source of livelihood of the residents of Bongabong, several agricultural support programs were established to provide technical assistance. The municipality has supported the construction of much of this physical infrastructure within agriculture and forestry. Among other things, this infrastructure includes agricultural support facilities and services such as millings, multi-purpose drying pavements (MPDP) and warehouses; and transportation networks including farm-to-market roads used in transporting goods and services to and from the farm. Most of these facilities were operational.

Municipal Fisheries

Naujan covers 29,620 hectares of municipal water stretched within the 11 coastal barangays namely: Nag-Iba I, San Antonio, Estrella, Sta. Cruz, Kalinisan, San Jose, Melgar A, Melgar B, Montemayor, Masaguing and Herrera. It also covers 425.35 hectares brackish water. As per data from the Fishery Management Unit, the average fish catch for the last 5 years (2011-2015) in metric tons are: 2011- 35, 444 mt; 2012-128,804.8 mt; 2013-102,243.25 mt; 2014-214,633.30; and 2015-219,512.3 mt. The species caught were mackerel, tuna, anchovies, sardines, groupa, roundscad, kitang, mullet and other similar fish species.
In support to fishing activity, there are 3 Marine Protected Areas in Naujan, namely: Masaguing Fish Sanctuary which is about 16.0 hectares; Tujod Fish Sanctuary, 30.0 hectares; and the newly established Buloc-buloc Cove Marine Protected Area (BuCoMaPA) with an area of 72 hectares.

Commercial Fisheries

Majority of the fishermen in Naujan are considered marginalized. They usually use unmotorized banca and hook and line while some use spear fishing. Fishermen with motorized banca use either set gill nets or encircling gill nets. There are about 19 commercial fishing boats owned by the residents of the municipality, operating within 10.1-15 kms.

Food Self-sufficiency Assessment

The Food and Nutrition Resource Council set the standard requirement an individual can consume/afford with reference to income and preferences. For self- sufficiency assessment, the production of some food items should be looked into, to meet the standard requirement for the planning period. The standard requirements for agricultural products are shown in Table 56.

Standard Requirement of Various Agricultural Products

Per Capita Dietary/Food Requirement Agricultural Product	Standard Requirement (kg/year)
Cereals and Cereal Product	124
Sugar and Syrups	70
Starchy Roots and Tubers	60

Post-harvest Facilities

Majority of the rice producing barangays in Naujan have privately owned rice mill and solar drier. Some rice mills have also installed mechanical driers. There are also barangays that out of the barangay and municipal funds were able to establish solar driers for utilization of rice farmers. The National Food Authority located in Barcenaga is of great help to Naujan rice farmers in terms of storage and marketing of their produce.
