RECOVERING FROM YOLANDA/HAIYAN: HELPING FISHERFOLK REBUILD THEIR BANCA/MGA BANGKA ...The Philippines loses about 157,000 hectares of forest cover each year. To rebuild the 30,000 boats lost to Haiyan from wood threatens to upscale deforestation. A fiberglass banca will curb the country’s dependence on wood as a major boatbuilding component. With Philippine seas already overexploited by commercial fishing, the initiative helps reduce pressure on our dwindling fishing stocks by promoting artisanal and small-scale fishing... My question here is: What is the impact of fiberglass manufacturing, and what are the disadvantages of it as a boat~building material? I have raised this with some friends who do watersports which utilize craft which are made with wood, fiberglass, or other materials... via Joann Natalia Aquino
