Laguna de Bay Ecosystem Health Report Card, the first in the Philippines, was launched

February 5, 2016 marked the first ever release of the Ecosystem Health Report Card for Laguna de Bay. The launch was held at the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) headquarters in Quezon City, Philippines. Laguna de Bay is the largest inland body of water in the Philippines, and is an important multi-use water resource. The lake features three distinct bays: West Bay, Central Bay, and East Bay which all converge at the South Bay. Therefore, water quality and fisheries scores were calculated for the whole Lake and for each of the sub-bays. Overall Laguna de Bay scored a low passing mark, a C-, in water quality and a failing mark, an F, in fisheries.
