    Fuentes, Kaiser Jan (Sun • Star Publishing, 2024-02-07)
    Amid concerns sparked by the beaching of thousands of fish along the shores of two towns in southern Cebu, a fisheries official has assured the public the events should not be taken as a precursor to an earthquake or an impending tsunami. “It should be treated as a positive result. Let us not associate it with any geological or weather phenomenon,” Johann Tejada, spokesman of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Bfar) 7 told SunStar Cebu on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024.
  • BFAR imposes 3-month fishing ban in Visayan sea
    Semilla, Nestle (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2022-11-18)
    For the next three months, fishing of some species at the Visayan Sea would be prohibited, said the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Central Visayas (BFAR-7). Starting on Nov. 15 until Feb. 15, 2023, fishers would not be allowed to catch pelagic species such as sardines, herrings and mackerels from the Visayan Sea to allow them to spawn and flourish in number, BFAR-7 said in a social media post on Thursday. The ban, which was based on the Fisheries Administrative Order No. 167-3 issued in 2013, was also intended to sustain the livelihood of small-scale or municipal fishers.
