Important as the milkfish industry has been to the Philippines, it has also been responsible for the significant loss of valuable mangrove swamps and forests. Early this century, the Philippines had about 450,000 ha of mangroves. In the 1920s, fishponds were concentrated around mangrove-lined Manila Bay: 3,193 ha in Rizal, 16,700 ha in Bulacan, 14,200 ha in Pampanga and 4,000 ha in Bataan. In 1926, the Bureau of Forestry issued 390 permits to operate 3,042 ha of fishponds in mangrove areas. Just before the Second World War, about 61,000 ha of brackishwater ponds already existed. After the war, the Bureau of Fisheries was established to take charge of the developm ent of both fisheries and aquaculture.
