The provincial disaster risk reduction and management council (PDRRMC) on Tuesday warned beachgoers to stay close to the shore when swimming in the Lingayen Gulf to avoid being stung by jellyfish. The warning was issued in anticipation of the influx of thousands of tourists heading for the different public beaches in Pangasinan province during the Holy Week. Avenix Arenas, PDRRMC spokesperson, said jellyfish sting could be fatal if the patient was not given immediate medical attention.
Fishkill hits cages in Taal Lake
Cinco, Maricar (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2018-11-06)
The local government of Agoncillo town in Batangas province will distribute tilapia fingerlings to local cage operators affected by the recent fishkill in Taal Lake. The incidence of “fish mortality,” a term preferred by local officials in referring to a smaller area where fish turn belly up, occurred at Barangay Subic Ilaya, said Agoncillo Mayor Daniel Reyes. He said 105 cages, out of 1,555 operating in the town, were affected, with about P5 million worth of mature and juvenile tilapia killed in a phenomenon called “sulfur upwelling.”
