- Pushing sustainable fishing, one plate at a timeOlchondra, Riza T. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-03-16)Top hotels and restaurants in Manila, environmental groups and non-profit pro-fisheries organizations are bringing the sustainable fishing advocacy closer to diners.

The idea is to get as many high-end establishments to buy fish, crustaceans and other marine products from communities where the fisherfolk use non-invasive fishing gear, catch non-endangered, adult-sized marine species, fish in the right areas (avoiding protected areas and marine sanctuaries) and follow proper handling/storage under traceability standards.
