Environmental problems caused by improper mine tailings disposal in the Baguio district include pollution of the Lower Agno River system and its watershed and siltation of irrigation canals in the Pangasinan plains. Direct economic losses are from reduced agricultural production due to siltation of irrigation works and farmlands. To check the adverse ecological effects of improper mine tailings disposal, government regulations have been imposed on mining firms.
Several disposal schemes have been proposed, including the use of the reservoir of a multipurpose project to be sited in the watershed where the mines are located. Because of siltation problems, however, trapping the tailings in the reservoir will diminish the economic benefits that can be derived from the project.

The Hydrometallurgical Processing Plant (HPP) project was proposed in 2000 by CBNC and RTNMC to process low-grade nickel ore stored in the company’s open dumpsites. The HPP is an industrial enclave consisting of a hydrogen sulfide plant, limestone quarrying operation and support facilities such as causeway and coal power plant. Both limestone and hydrogen sulfide are needed in the nickel refining process. The limestone will be quarried from Mt. Gotok located in Barangay Iwahig, Municipality of Bataraza which is within the ancestral domain of the Pala’wan indigenous community. Hydrogen sulfide, on the other hand, will be processed out of the sulfuric acid imported from Japan.

A Baseline Assessment of Soil Organic Carbon in the Mangroves of the Bakassi ...ijtsrd
The mangrove soils as one of the global soil types is a major carbon store that helps to curb the rising global temperatures. This is not unconnected to their high carbon storing and sequestration potentials of the peat soils. The conclusion is characterized by some knowledge gaps on the actual carbon stock and sequestration potentials of some mangroves soils on the Central African Sub regional landscape. Some of these areas are the Bakassi mangroves in the South West Cameroon. Cross border conflicts, piracy and over exploitation have rendered the sourcing of appropriate data on its carbon stock and sequestration potentials difficult. In strive to bridge this knowledge gap, this work carried out baseline assessments of the carbon stock and sequestration rate of this peat soil. To achieve the study objectives, stratified random opportunistic sampling using an inventory design based on five forest canopy height classes, with collection of peat soils using a soil auger to different depth for laboratory analysis was done. Soils Organic Carbon stocks were estimated from soils to a depth of 100cm and determined using chromic acid digestion and spectrophotometric analysis. Parameters determined were bulk density and percentage carbon. Results showed that soil carbon stock density ranged from 705.8 Mg ha to 546.2 Mg ha . Thus on average, for a hectare in Bakassi, the Soil Organic carbon stock was 632.65 Mg ha Kamah Pascal Bumtu | Nkwatoh Athanasius Fuashi | Longonje Simon Ngomba "A Baseline Assessment of Soil Organic Carbon in the Mangroves of the Bakassi Peninsula South-West Cameroon" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-3 , April 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd30515.doc Paper Url :https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/environmental-science/30515/a-baseline-assessment-of-soil-organic-carbon-in-the-mangroves-of-the-bakassi-peninsula-southwest-cameroon/kamah-pascal-bumtu

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, delta systems, and coral reefs are increasingly at risk due in large part to
settlement and development along rapidly urbanizing coasts. The resulting degradation of these ecosystems,
especially the degradation of natural infrastructure, increasingly exposes coastal cities and their inhabitants to
more frequent and severe natural hazards and disproportionately impacts poor populations who often rely on these ecosystems for livelihoods, food, and other essential benefits.

3. Ecosystem Approach Planning
• Integrates ecosystem
considerations into
planning to ensure
sustainability of future
health of both the
ecosystem and humans
• Satisfactory means of
protecting the
environment, particularly
in terms of the negative
cumulative environmental
effects

4. Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
Parameters Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
Species considered All species in ecosystem, particularly those impacted by fishing
Assessment method Multispecies assessments/ indicators
Management objectives Ecological, economic and social
Policy and decision-making Participatory with major stakeholders
Management intervention Broad-based incentives (including ecosystem tools such as
MPAs)

14. Strategic Actions
1. Rationalize and
harmonize different
uses of coastal areas
through proper
zoning of coastal
lands and municipal
waters
• Minimize
conflicts and
optimize
development
potentials
15. 2. Rehabilitate and
protect coastal habitats
• Reduce potential risks of
adverse oceanic and
atmospheric conditions to
serve as natural barriers
• Biodiversity conservation and
enhancement of endangered
species, e.g. dugong , turtles,
whale sharks
• Improved near shore fishery
productivity
Establish more and manage existing
MPAs
- accelerate and scale up impacts
through inter-LGU MPA networks
16. 3. Manage and Develop the Fisheries Sector
• Ensure food and
livelihood security
a. Improve fishery/coastal
law enforcement
b. Regulate fishing effort
(e.g. boat registration and
licensing, species/gear
specific regulation,
close/open seasons)
c. Explore value adding
mechanism such as fish
processing and other
alternative marketing
schemes
d. Improve post harvest
facilities and marine
transport systems
17. Local governments are in a unique position
to tackle the causes and effects of climate
change ( The Opportunities in Aurora)
A. Policies
• Implementation
of the Inter-LGU
Fishery
Management
Plan (ILFMP)
B. Social Capital
• LGU-level, Inter-LGU, Provincial initiatives • Local institutions
• Local CRM advocates and champions - Provincial agencies
