Sorsogon king crab fishers from the Save Gubat Bay Movement have requested a dialogue with the BFAR to express grievances on a 2020 administrative order regulating the fishing of mangrove crabs. | SAbrogarINQ
Issued on January 22, 2020, Fisheries Administrative Order 264 prohibits the catching, possession, transporting, selling, and trading of live mangrove crablets with a carapace width of less than 12 centimeters from the wild.
“Hindi kami sumasang-ayon sa FAO 264 na ipinagbabawal ang panghuhuli ng semilya ng mga alimango para diumano mapreserba ang mga ito. Hindi rin dumaan sa masusing konsultasyon sa mga apektadong sektor bago ipataw ang nasabing kautusan,” wrote the SGBM. “Sa katunayan ay aktibo ang aming organisasyon sa pangangalaga ng mga bakawan at baybayin na nagsisilbing itlugan at tahanan ng mga alimango,” wrote the alliance in the letter.“Mariin din ang aming pagtutol sa mga aktibidad at proyekto na banta sa ekosistema at tahanan ng mga alimango,” it added.
