  1. Ocean Health Index Assessment and Insights for the South and

    Southeast Asia Region Samuel Mamauag1, Adrian Chester Balingit1, Laurence Robles1, and Reniel Cabral2 1Marine Environment and Resources Foundation, Inc., Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines - Diliman 2University of California-Santa Barbara, CA, USA SIMSEA Workshop - 19 November 2014 Microtel, UP Technohub
  2. Developed by Halpern et al. from National Center for Ecological

    Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), UC Santa Barbara First reported in Nature (Issue 488, 615–620. 30 August 2012), detailing the global status of ocean health using the index Ocean Health Index
  3. Ocean Health Index “By providing a means to advance comprehensive

    ocean policy and compare future progress, the index can inform decisions about how to use or protect marine ecosystems.” The index provides an assessment tool to quantify ocean health (coupled human-natural systems).
  4. Ocean Health Index The index involves the different dimensions of

    ocean health. BIOLOGICAL PHYSICAL ECONOMIC SOCIAL OCEAN HEALTH OHI involves people as part of the ocean ecosystem
  5. Ocean Health Index All of the scores and data presented

    are available at the Ocean Health Index website. http://www.oceanhealthindex.org/

Half the world’s fish harvest is captured by artisanal fishing families. 46 48 49 50 54 59 64 65 69 71 75 0 20 40 60 80 100 Indonesia Myanmar East Timor Vietnam Oecussi Ambeno Philippines Malaysia Cambodia Thailand Singapore Brunei

Natural Storage: Seagrass, Tidal Marshes, Mangroves When preserved, carbon is stored in these ecosystems. When destroyed, carbon is emitted back into the atmosphere, becoming new sources of greenhouse gas emissions. •  Status of carbon storage 28 42 50 52 56 62 65 66 66 75 91 0 20 40 60 80 100 Oecussi Ambeno Vietnam Indonesia Cambodia East Timor Philippines Malaysia Brunei Thailand Myanmar Singapore 54 96 96 0 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 China Taiwan Japan North Korea South Korea
