Sibuguey Bay is a large bay in the southwestern part of Mindanao island, Philippines, Sibuguey Bay supports one of Philippines' richest fish population. It is estimated to supply fish for the 330,000 Sibugaynons inhabiting the area. However, the introduction of new fishing gear,the use of dynamite and the rapid destruction of mangroves have all contributed to a drastic decline in the fish population in the bay. The quantity of fish caught by an individual fisherman had dropped ten times below the former quantity.
