  • Closed fishing season for sardines, mackerel, herring begins Nov. 15
    Cotejo, Honey (Sun • Star Publishing, 2022-11-16)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Central Visayas (BFAR-7) has banned fishing for sardines, herring, and mackerel within the Visayan Sea for three months starting November 15, 2022. Allan Poquita, BFAR 7 director, told SunStar Cebu Tuesday, November 15, 2022, that the temporary ban which has been practiced annually for several years already is meant to ensure the protection and conservation of the said species in the Visayan Sea. The closed fishing season affecting around 22 coastal areas along the Visayan Sea is based on Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) 167-3 issued in 2013.
