[2][3] The Guimaras oil spill, that occurred in Panay Gulf on August 11, 2006, has severely affected the fishing industry.
[4] This spill followed another one in December 2005, when a passenger ship ran aground in the strait.
[5] Besides these oil spills, the ecosystems of the Guimaras Strait also suffer from rapid coastal development and overfishing.
Increased urban populations and transportation are causing anthropogenic pressures,[6] while gillnet fishing has exceeded the maximum sustainable yield since 1999.
