The Visayan Sea will be closed to fishing from November 15 to February 15 next year to ensure the conservation of the fish species in the area. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Western Visayas said that the three-month hiatus, known as ‘Ang Pahuway sang Baybay’ (The Rest of the Sea), is in line with Fisheries Administrative Order No. 167-3.
