    Help fishermen find alternative livelihood amid declining fish catch
    Enderez, Edmundo (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2024-02-14)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) through the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) had imposed as early as 2011 a three-month closed season or fishing ban during the period November or December to February or March in critical areas, particularly spawning grounds. The news “Galunggong price drop expected this month – BFAR” (Inquirer.net, 2/5/24) is a welcome relief for those who have less in life. The fish price drop is in anticipation of the start of open fishing season. Historically, the combined marine fish catch during the second and third quarters is 12 percent higher than that of the first and fourth quarters. Hopefully, said price drop will continue until September.
