What is it about?
This study assesses the development issues of Buhi Lake (Philippines). Premised on the lack of development, the inattention from the Lake communities, and the underutilization of the natural resources, the study contends that the Buhi Lake Community and the Municipality of Buhi, Province of Camarines Sur must now take the initiative in fostering the development of the Lake; specifically, (1). Determine the destructive and non-destructive fishing practices done by fishermen in Buhi Lake. (2) Determine the living practices of communities residing along the coast that are beneficial and non-beneficial to Buhi Lakes. (3) Develop Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials with science education content to promote the preservation of the Lakes. (4) Design Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials dissemination plan to Buhi Lake locals. Moreover, the study also addresses the gap in Bicol Lake studies, particularly the scarcity of scholarly outputs on development studies of Region V Lakes and some of the small-scale Lakes in the Philippines.

Why is it important?
Will be of great help in making contextualization of science materials.
Perspectives
The Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials developed to promote the preservation of the lake are in the form of a book. It carries the title “Green Buhi Community: An IEC material Promoting the Preservation of the Buhi Lake”. The IEC materials also contain pictures of the lake, fishermen, fishing materials, fishing activities, the community beside the lake, and their activities within the community. On the last part of the IEC material is some of the laws and regulations in the country about the promotion of the preservation of the lake that needs to be learned by the community.

Restoring Lake Buhi
Assesses the development issues of Buhi Lake (Philippines). Premised on the lack of development, the inattention from the Lake communities, and the underutilization of the natural resource, the study contends that the Buhi Lake Community and the Municipality of Buhi, Province of Camarines Sur must now take the initiative in fostering the development of the Lake; specifically, (1). Determine the destructive and non-destructive fishing practices done by fishermen in Buhi Lake. (2) Determine the living practices of communities residing along the coast that are beneficial and non-beneficial to Buhi Lakes. (3) Develop Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials with science education content to promote the preservation of the Lakes. (4) Design Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials dissemination plan to Buhi Lake locals. Moreover, the study also addresses the gap in Bicol Lake studies, particularly the scarcity of scholarly outputs on development studies of Region V Lakes and some of the small-scale Lakes in the Philippines.
