Level of Awareness on the Impact of Climate Change on the Socioeconomic Lite of a Coastal Community in San Salvador Island, Masinloc, Zambales
Myra Liza O. Vizcarra
Abstract:
The researcher’s interest in their well-being led her to study the level of
awareness of the impact of climate change on the socioeconomic life of
the coastal communities in San Salvador Island. This study is a descriptive type of research. A descriptive study gives a picture and describes
the different aspects concerning a situation to obtain knowledge of nature, states, and development. This current study was conducted at San
Salvador Island. It is an island barangay in Masinloc, Zambales, in northwest Luzon. It is an island barangay in Masinloc, Zambales, in northwest
Luzon. A 127-hectare fish sanctuary and a nearby Taklobo or Giant Clam
Farm are usual attractions to diving enthusiasts. Encourage planting
mangroves in the vicinity of the island as part of the extension service of
the campus. Conduct a follow-up study on fishermen’s vulnerability, resiliency, and mitigation practices. They are considered priority barangay
in the Climate Change Awareness joint project of the PRMSU-Masinloc
LDRRMP and CENRO-Masinloc to enhance the fishermen’s awareness
and adaptation. Support from the local government unit by having a store
filled with more goods and over-the-counter medicines, especially during
rainy seasons. May have a routine check by a professional doctor before
rainy seasons. Probable additional livelihood to augment needs, particularly during the rainy season.
