INDUSTRY AND
NATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT

3. Economic,
Ecological, and
Social Importance
of Oceans

4. The oceans have been estimated to
contribute a total of similar to 21
trillion US$/year to human welfare
(compared with a global GNP of
similar to 25 trillion US$), with
similar to 60% of this from coastal
and shelf systems and the other 40%
from the open ocean, and with the
oceans contributing similar to 60% of
the total economic value of the
biosphere.
However, in recent times we have
begun to reach the limits of the
oceans and must now begin to utilize
and govern them in a more
sustainable way. In addition to their
traditional importance as sources of
primary and secondary production,
and biodiversity, the importance of
the oceans in global material and
energy cycles is now beginning to be
better appreciated.

9. The social importance of the
oceans for global transportation
and as a unifying element in the
cultures of many coastal
countries cannot be
overestimated. However, the
cultural traditions of open access
must be replaced with more
appropriate property rights
regimes and governance
structures. Some alternative
sustainable governance ideas are
briefly discussed, emphasizing
the need for an expanded
deliberative process to develop a
shared vision of a sustainable
use of oceans.

10. Ocean are relevant in global
material and energy cycles.
Oceans and seas represent a
public good for society and the
maritime ecosystem.
Water pollution is one of the existing
problems of the ocean and coastal seas,
which is generated by human activities
all over the continent.

11. -The wealth and resources of a country or region, especially
in terms of the production and consumption of goods and
services.
Economic Importance

12. Hence, every port is a major source of
revenue for its city.
 Generate income for local
government.
Ships are the major means of goods
transportation country by country

13. Ecological importance
- Relation of living organisms to one
another and to their physical
surroundings.

14. • The ocean are also
instrumental to the creation
of oxygen.
• The most important problem
related to oceans and coastal
seas is pollution.

16. Five COUNTIES are

17. Social Importance
- Of or relating to people or society in general.
Ocean are a unifying element of cultures coming from different
countries with ships carrying multinational seafarers working
together, oceans become the melting pot of culture and traditions
establishing a maritime culture.

18. The Maritime
Industry’s Roles in
the Global Ocean
Trading

19. The maritime industry, ever
since the ancient period, has
been the a dynamic institution
responsible for moving goods
and services to and from
nations. The ocean trading has
since been an important
activity in the history of
society, culture, and economic
development. Several
important roles of the maritime
industry with regards to the
global training have been
identified.

20. The maritime industry, ever since the ancient period, has
been a dynamic institution primarily responsible for
moving goods and services to and from nations..

21. • Primary Transportation
Medium
This will help the profits of those
who involved in dealing with the
procedure of transportation inside the
ocean. This is why the transportation
medium within the ocean can
improve ocean trading and the
economic development.

22. Consequently, modern
ferries, cruise ships, and
many types of
recreational boats carry
passengers for purposes
ranging from daily
business commuting to
fishing to sightseeing.
The ferry system in
Halifax, Nova Scotia
exemplifies the
importance of waterways
for transportation.

23. Source of Government
Revenue
For the Philippines, seafarers
belong to the hundreds of
foreign places Filipino people
(OFW), taken into
consideration as "cutting-edge
heroes" or bagong bayani.
Those sales assist finance
authorities projects together
with infrastructure, roads and
highways, economics zones,
and others that broadly
speaking generate jobs and
possibilities for low and
medium enterprise.
Opportunity for Sharing of
Culture
Ships that travel around the
world are manned by
professional seafarers coming
from different countries.
These people share their
country of origin’s own
culture, tradition, and way of
life, which makes the ocean a
melting pot. These aggregate
cultures form a norm that is
known as maritime culture.
Though many faces, the are
guided by one goal, that’s to
keep ocean trading alive.

24. Backbone of the Global Trade and
Economy
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki moon’s message on World Maritime
‑
Day
“Everybody in the world benefits from shipping, yet few people
realize it. We ship food, technology, medicines, and memories. As
the world’s population continues to grow, particularly in developing
countries, low-cost and efficient maritime transport has an essential
role to play in growth and sustainable development.
Shipping helps ensure that the benefits of trade and commerce are
more evenly spread. No country is entirely self-sufficient, and every
country relies on maritime trade to sell what it has and buy what it
needs. Much of what we use and consume in our everyday lives
either has been or will be transported by sea, in the form of raw
materials, components or finished articles.”

25. The jobs and livelihoods of
billions of people in the
developing world, and
standards of living in the
industrialized and developed
world, depend on ships and
shipping. The shipping
industry has played an
important part in the dramatic
improvements in global living
standards that have taken
millions of people out of
acute poverty in recent years

26. The Philippine Maritime Industry as a
Backbone of National Development
Presidential Decree No. 474, Section3.a, defines maritime industry as “all

acquiring, operating, supplying, repairing, and/or maintaining vessels, or
component parts thereof; of managing and/or operating shipping lines,
stevedoring arrastre and customs brokerage services, shipyards, drydocks, marine
railways, marine repair shops, shipping and freight forwarding agencies and
similar enterprise.”

27. Source of Government Revenues
• OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers), considered as “modern
heroes” or bagong bayani, especially seafarers.
• Countries that own ships carry economic power.

under the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
• Philippines intensified its commitment to make its maritime industry globally competitive.

32. Despite the growth of the
airline industry, It cannot
be denied that passenger
ships are still a
transportation of choice
for many of our
countrymen. Cost of cargo
is still cheaper on ships
that on airplanes. Also,
fast crafts abound on ports
all over the country, which
means less travel time at a
very affordable fare.

33. The maritime-government agencies recognize the critical role of maritime
transport in ensuring an integrated and coordinated transport network for the
country and extending into the world. Shipping undeniably remains a major
infrastructure linking and connecting to the Philippines to the international
commerce and ocean trading. In turn progress of the country. The domestic
shipping alone, in 2012, posted 74 million tons of cargoes and 50 million
passengers. Speaking of economic benefits, one of which is the international
seafarers’ remittance amounting to US$4.8 billion also contributed to the
Philippines economy that same year. The shipping industry also provides jobs for
Filipinos seafarers that account the largest number deployed on board
International vessels
