    Closed fishing season in Visayas seen creating 'artificial' shortages
    Ochave, Revin Mikhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2021-11-17)
    The three-month closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea is expected to cause an “artificial” shortage of fish with a knock-on effect on inflation, an organization of fishermen said. The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (PAMALAKAYA) said in a statement Tuesday that the closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea will depress supply and raise prices. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) closed fishing in the Visayan Sea on Nov. 15. It will run until Feb. 15. The fish species covered by the ban in those waters include sardines, herring, and mackerel.

    BFAR backs WTO ban on fisheries subsidies
    Ochave, Revin Mikhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2022-11-02)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said the Philippines must comply with a World Trade Organization (WTO) ban on fishing subsidies, which is designed to deter illegal fishing, even amid pressure from fishing organizations to provide government support for fisherfolk. Demosthenes R. Escoto, BFAR officer-in-charge, said that the WTO agreement against subsidies seeks to deter illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUUF) and to restore overfished populations.
