    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Region 6 will provide repair materials worth P10,000 each to 200 fisherfolk whose boats were badly damaged during the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm “Paeng” in the last week of October. BFAR Antique head Richard Cordero, in an interview Friday, said they were finalizing the damage report for the BFAR central office to provide repair materials so the fishermen can resume their livelihood. “Based on our initial report, there are 600 fisherfolk whose fishing boats were damaged, but we are prioritizing only 200 of them who really need the repair materials,” he said.

    PH seas running out of fish, says BFAR exec
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2015-11-07)
    More than a hundred fishermen, mostly from Pangasinan province, were out in the West Philippine Sea when Typhoon “Lando” (international name: Koppu) lashed Central and northern Luzon late last month. The sea was calm when the fishermen sailed. But the typhoon unleashed violent winds that wrecked their motorized fishing boats. The fishermen drifted for days in the open sea until they were rescued. The risks taken by fishermen were an indication of how Philippine seas are running out of fish, said Asis Perez, director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), during the national summit on participatory governance toward sustainable fisheries held last week in Pasay City.
