Lagonoy Gulf is a largegulf in theBicol Peninsula ofLuzon island in thePhilippines. It is separated from thePhilippine Sea by theCaramoan Peninsula in the north; and is separated fromAlbay Gulf in the south by a chain of islands includingBatan Island andRapu-rapu Island. It is about 3,070 square kilometres (1,190 sq mi) in area, with 80% of its area between 800 metres (2,600 ft) and 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) deep.[1]
The gulf is home to 480 fish species, and annual fishery production in 2004 amounted to some 20,000MT, making Lagonoy Gulf a major fishing ground in the Philippines. Coral reefs, seaweed/seagrass beds, and mangroves form the critical habitats for gulf's ecology.[1]
