    Fish sanctuaries are coastal areas where no fishing is allowed, allowing fish and sea life to breed and grow without disturbance. This increases fish stocks and protects biodiversity. Effective sanctuaries can benefit both communities through spillover of fish to surrounding areas and fishermen through increased catches. However, proper education and enforcement is needed to prevent illegal fishing within sanctuaries. The Pasacao fish sanctuary in the Philippines protects over 32 hectares of coastal area, coral reefs, and sea life.

    Fish Sanctuary is a coastal area where no fishing is

    allowed so that fish (and other sea life) have a sea haven to

    breed and grow to increase the fish stock and keep it healthy.

    Fish sanctuaries (also known as no-take zones) are fundamental

    to the development of marine conservation initiatives, as they

    can conserve and increase fish stocks both in tropical artisinal

    and temperate industrial fisheries (Gell and Roberts, 2003;

    Roberts and Hawkins, 2000). Fish sanctuaries have a vital

    economic role to play and have a serious impact on the

    livelihoods of their communities. It is very essential to

    undertake necessary attempts on conserving and enhancing aquatic

    biodiversity. Hence establishment of sanctuary has become

    obligatory to protect and conserve fish species from extinction

    and increase fish diversity in the country. So the importance

    of fish sanctuary is infinite.

    There can be considerable advantage in developing effective

    reserves at a small local scale as they encourage communities to

    drive management and policing of the reserve themselves (Ledesma

    et al., 1998). However, problems associated with incursions into

    fish sanctuaries by fishermen can occur if education of local

    communities and enforcement is poor (Gilman, 1997; Alder, 1996;

    Erdmann et al., 2003). Realistically, many marine reserves in

    the Philippines are failing to protect fish stocks, even after


    having achieved statutory status (Christie et al., 2002; Pajaro

    et al., 1999; Russ and Alcala, 1994). Effective fish sanctuaries

    can provide spill over of adults when the carrying capacity of

    commercial fish populations within the sanctuary boundary is

    reached (McClanahan and Mangi, 2000). Fishermen on the edge of

    the sanctuary can then legally harvest fish. Another beneficial

    effect of sanctuaries is that larvae from fish and shellfish

    within sanctuaries can also spill over into unprotected areas,

    and seed reefs which may have had poor previous recruitment

    (Tawake et al., 2001; Gell and Roberts, 2003; White et al.,

    2002).

    Pasacao fish sanctuary is blessed with long, uninterrupted

    seashore, a bird-watching area, a rock islet amid clear seawater,

    and rich coral reefs at a fish sanctuary. Barangay Caranan and

    Dalupaon in Pasacao is a fish sanctuary covering around 32

    hectares as stated by Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
