  1. Development of a data center for oil spill incidents in the Philippines: the case of Semirara and Guimaras Glenn D. AguilarUniversity of the Philippines in the VisayasMiagao, Iloilo

  2. Outline • Background • Semirara Oil Spill • Solar 1 Oil Spill • Overall Design of Data and Information Services • UML Models • Resulting Maps • Further Work

  3. Recent Oil Spills in the Philippines • Semirara Oil Spill • December 18, 2005 • Power Barge #103 of NPC • 330,000 liters of Bunker fuel oil • Off Semirara Island • Around 184 families directly affected (1,100 persons) • Solar 1 • August 11, 2006 • M/T Solar 1 • Cargo of 2.2M liters of Bunker fuel; unverified amount of oil spill (estimates from 275,000 liters to 1.3M liters) • South of Guimaras Island • Around 5,800 families directly affected (35,000 persons)

  18. Assignment of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas • As Member of Task Force Guimaras: • Data Repository • Laboratory Services • Lead the Scientific Community in Research • Coordinate Research Efforts through Workshops, Seminars, Conferences, etc. • Present Results of Studies to the Philippine President and the LGU • Conduct Studies on the Oil Spill • Rapid 3 month Assessment • 10-year long term studies • Generate Proposals • Internal and External Funding • Assist Affected Communities in Getting Support • Assist in other important areas • Livelihood Planning • Health Related Research

  19. Research Topics • Effects on Habitats (Coral Reefs, Mangroves, Seagrasses) • Effects on Fisheries • Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Organisms and the Environment • Effect on People • Effects on Important Organisms • Models useful for Future Incidents • Remediation • Sustainable livelihood approaches • Treatment of unremovable oil • Spatial analysis (GIS), data management and response to future incidents • Management and policies

  20. Design of an information system for oil spills

  21. Classes

  22. Components

  23. Some results: Shoreline assessment

  24. Habitats affected at the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve Reef Crest Seagrass Beds Mangroves Oiled Areas UPV Marine Bio Station

  25. Needs and Requirements • Assessment and Monitoring • Analysis of samples – food sources, environmental pollutants • Portable samplers – air, water, soil • Computers • Boats • Communications • UPV Laboratory Equipment • Taklong Research Center • Scholarships and Trainings for Capability Building • Funds for Direct research costs • Support for Coordination meetings, workshops and conferences • Projects of livelihood, medical missions, governance, management and policies
