ABSTRACT : Recent information about the number and types of boats and gears used in Manila Bay is lacking. Here we discuss the result of the inital boat and gear inventory conducted in Manila Bay from May 2015 to October 2016. The survey eas done in the Coastal Barangays of Cavite, Bataan , Bulacan, Pampanga, and Metro Manila. A total of 3,659 fishing boats were recorded from 84 coastal barangays , or about 40% out onlu 5.55% are commercial boats and the highest number of boats recorded was in Cavite (1,461 boats). 91.04% of the fishing boats are motorized and oly 8.96% are non-motorized. The averaged fisher to boat ratio for the five provinces is 3.01, which is higher compared to the 2.4:1 result of MADECOR and National Musuem Assessment (1995). There are 25 types of fishing gears recorded during the survey with a total of 4,946 units. Gillnet, specifically bottom gillnet, is the most dominant gear being used in Manila Bay. 56
