Stresses need to stop overfishing, boost fish supply, ensure food security President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is considering seasonal fishing
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is considering seasonal fishing bans in breeding areas to address overfishing and boost aquaculture.“Sometimes, it is necessary not to catch all the fish so we would still have stock in the next season. So, that’s what we’re looking at now,” he said Tuesday in Zamboanga City.
He said the government is also implementing programs to put up more cold storage facilities to prevent spoilage, as he noted that up to 30 percent of fish catch is degraded or damaged. Marcos said imposing several restrictions is part of the government’s plan of securing the country’s fish supply, stressing that developing the Philippine agriculture not only means securing the supply of agricultural commodities, such as rice and corn, but also involves improving the fishery and the livestock sectors.
BFAR has been imposing a selective fish ban annually for three months, starting end-November to February of the following year.
