    Nicavera, Erwin P. (Sun • Star Publishing, 2021-02-20)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) lifted the three-month closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea earlier this week. Under the Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) No. 167-3 Series of 2013, the government places the Visayan Sea and its vicinities under closed fishing season from November 15 to February 15 annually. This is to ensure the protection and conservation of sardines, herrings and mackerels in the said fishing ground during their spawning period.

    (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2020-09-04)
    The U.S. and Philippine governments launched on Wednesday, September 2, a workshop attended by 135 participants to measure and understand the negative impacts of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the country. Supported by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Fish Right program, experts from the University of the Philippines School of Statistics facilitated the online workshop on September 2-3, bringing together various sectors to increase understanding on IUU fishing at a national level. “This exercise is a critical first step to understanding the complex global threat that IUU fishing represents to ocean health and maritime security,” stated U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission John Law during the opening session of the workshop.
