The study identifies the main fishing grounds and examines the impact of tropical cyclone speed on vessel position using satellite images and tropical cyclones data. Data suggest that tropical cyclones have a negative impact on fishing activity, with fewer active boats during and after the storm. The most affected locations include the Sibuyan Sea, Visayan Sea, and Panay Gulf. These tropical cyclones were estimated to reduce commercial fishing production by 7,800 tons per day, affecting more than 188,000 families in Western Visayas.
