Portrait of fishermen and seaweed farmers Francisco I. Yeliganio (38) and Zosima Yeliganio (37) in the sea, Tamiao, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. On November 6 2013 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and was one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall. The storm had a devastating impact on the fishing and seaweed industry. It also caused extensive environmental damage shifting coral beds, tearing down coconut trees and ripping mangrove forests apart all of which will have a long term impact on ecosystems and the communities who rely on them for food and employment. Oxfam is working to support the immediate and long-term needs of affected communities on Bantayan Island.
