- Bulk-buying of sardines mulledRomero, Maria (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2022-09-19)Cannery owners are mulling bulk-buying sardines from municipal fishers to sustain their livelihood and keep the cheap prices of the canned goods, a social product that has helped keep Filipino families afloat, especially during disasters and calamities. At a press conference on Monday, Francisco Buencamino, executive director of the Sardines Canners Association of the Philippines, said his group would need the support of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to support the proposed initiative. “We want to discuss this matter with the BFAR but they are not responsive to our letters. I would love the privilege of having discussions with them. We need to directly agree to craft an agreement, which will also help us avert any crisis,” Buencamino told reporters.
- Commercial fishing continues to hurt small fishers in municipal waters - OceanaOchave, Revin Mickhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2021-09-24)Commercial fishing in municipal waters pervades amid the coronavirus pandemic and the government should step up its monitoring and apprehension of violators to protect small fisherfolk, according to marine conservation group Oceana. Oceana said in a statement on Thursday that 42,934 commercial vessels were detected within municipal waters in 2020, about 4.7% lower than the 44,952 reported the previous year. The figures were sourced from Karagatan Patrol, a digital platform that uses Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and senses lure lights that are likely used by commercial fishing boats.

- Fisherfolk want moratorium on boat, fish registrationAraneta, Sandy (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2017-02-07)The militant fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas on Monday called for a temporary suspension of some of the provisions on the amended Fisheries Code of 1998 or Republic Act 10654, particularly the Boat Registration (BoatR) and Fisherfolk Registration (FishR), one of the new highlights in the amended Fisheries Code. Pamalakaya said this was another burden for the small fisherfolk who barely earn enough to sustain their families’ daily expenses. The BoatR, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, is designed to fast-track and complete the nationwide fishing vessels registration with capacity of three gross tons and below while the FishR aims to register fisherfolk in the country to come up with a national database system.
