LAKECON 2011 Photo Contest

Got this from the DOST website.

Rationale

Land and water ecosystems are interconnected and the sustainable use of water bodies such as lakes and rivers requires integrated governance mechanisms for stakeholders and organizations responsible for their management. Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM) is an approach which recognizes that lakes and their basins are a single mutually-interacting management unit. ILBM integrates six management elements or pillars fundamental to maintaining the services and resource values of lakes and ensuring their resiliency to the negative impacts of human use. These pillars include institutions, policy, stakeholder participation, technology, science and finances.


Objective

The LAKECON 2011 Photo Contest focuses on the Lake Congress theme “Building on the pillars of Integrated Lake Basin Management”. The contest aims to capture snapshots of issues, challenges and experiences in managing lakes, rivers, marshes as they are interlinked within the lake basin. PCAMRD likewise needs quality photographic images that affirm how science and technology can respond to these challenges and how individuals, organizations, communities and other stakeholders can make a difference.

LAKECON 2011 Photo Contest will award entries that capture the nature-human-institutional dimensions of lake basin management and provide a vision on the future of Philippine Lakes.
