  • In Or. Mindoro, fishing ban off in 7 areas, stays in 6
    Virola, Madonna (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2023-05-09)
    Oriental Mindoro Gov. Humerlito Dolor on Monday lifted the fishing ban in at least seven towns in the province, saying the coastal waters in these areas were already “within acceptable standards” for fishing activities based on recent sample tests. The fishing ban, however, will stay in the waters of the capital Calapan City and in the towns of Naujan, Pola, Pinamalayan, Gloria and Bansud “due to the risk of contamination by the oil” that continued to linger in the waters off these areas, Dolor said.
  • Protest staged vs new fisheries policy
    Galvez, James Konstantin; Badilla, Nelson (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2015-09-03)
    Fisherfolk from different provinces trooped to Manila on Wednesday to hold one of several expected “fish holidays” as part of protest actions against the decision of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to implement the amended Republic Act 8550 or the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998. More than a thousand fishermen trooped to the Quirino Grandstand in Manila. The protesters came from Navotas, Malabon and the provinces of Bicol region, Masbate, Quezon, Marinduque, Pangasinan, and Cavite. BFAR Director lawyer Asis Perez said in an interview that the agency expects to finalize the Implementing rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Fisheries Code or Republic Act 8550 as amended by RA 10654 next week.
