    The future of our seas relies on us
    (Panay News, Inc., 2019-09-22)
    The Mayor of Carles, Iloilo, Siegfredo Betita, has expressed his local government unit’s helplessness in the fight against illegal fishing and has appealed for outside help – from the Philippine Navy to be specific. We believe this situation is not unique to Carles. Its neighboring municipalities in northern Iloilo province are likely suffering from the same problem – the continued assault of illegal fishers in their municipal waters that are rich in marine resources. We have relied so much on the sea for our existence – for food, for employment, for energy and for recreation. Thus we must realize that the future of our seas, and that of us humans, relies on how much action we are willing to take today to protect our marine resources.

    BFAR, partners ink pact on marine conservation
    Ogatis, James Earl E.; Toreno, Sheila Mae H. (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2017-10-17)
    Regional Director Remia Aparri of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) 6 signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with two local government units and other enforcement agencies to strengthen the protection of marine environment and resources in Western Visayas. In the opening of the 54th Fish Conservation Week Celebration in Tanza, Iloilo City on Oct 15, 2017, Aparri cited the importance of preserving, conserving and protecting the coastal and marine resources as the main source of livelihood of the coastal communities. The MOU with Mayor Siegfredo Betita of Carles and a representative of Mayor Milliard Villanueva of Concepcion, Iloilo seeks to create a joint task force that will address the rampant and unabated illegal, unreported fishing activities within the municipal waters.
