    Mayor Pablo Ortega on Tuesday led the distribution of rehabilitation milkfish fingerlings to fishermen from six villages whose fishponds dried up due to April’s intense summer heat. The milkfish fingerlings came from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, which will also distribute tilapia fingerlings to upland villages next year. Dolores Gurtiza, fishery chief of the City Agriculture Office, said San Fernando received the highest total of rehabilitation fingerlings with 64,020.

    La Union board declares calamity state to deal with oil spill
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2013-03-01)
    The provincial board of La Union has declared the province under a state of calamity to enable towns affected by the oil spill supposedly from a sunken vessel or another ship to tap their calamity funds for cleanup operations. La Union Gov. Manuel Ortega said communities, various agencies and nongovernment organizations have been collaborating to remove chunks of hardened oil that have been spotted on La Union beaches. Many believe the oil sludge came from the Myanmar vessel MV Harita Bauxite, which sank off Bolinao town in Pangasinan last week. Others suspect it came from an unidentified cargo vessel, which docked near Bangar town in La Union, on Sunday.

    Whale nursed back to health in La Union
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2017-05-08)
    Sto. Tomas, La Union—In a concrete tank, “Agustina” swims feebly, aided by an orange floater from which it tries to wriggle away. Agustina is a female melon-headed whale that was stranded on a beach in the coastal village of San Agustin in San Fernando City on April 30. The 6.2-foot- (1.89 meters) long whale was rescued and brought to a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) facility here on a Sunday when its tanks were empty and its staff was not around. The whale bore scratch marks all over its body and fins. It also had wounds which could have been inflicted by other creatures like sharks or when it hit rocks or was caught by a net, according to the BFAR staff.
