    BFAR mulls moratorium on crackdown vs imported fish
    Cariaso, Bella (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2022-12-01)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Wednesday said it was considering imposing a moratorium on the crackdown of imported frozen fish in wet markets amid criticisms that it was anti-poor. In a radio interview, Nazario Briguer, BFAR Information and Fisherfolk Coordination Unit chief, said he had informed BFAR Officer in Charge Demosthenes Escoto on the developments in the Senate after Senators Raffy Tulfo and Mary Grace Poe questioned the move of the agency to crack down on pampano and salmon starting on Dec. 4, 2022.

    Ban on Danish Seine fishing method strengthened
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2018-07-13)
    The nationwide ban on the use of the fishing device Danish Seine (hulbot-hulbot) that destroys marine habitats has been strengthened after the Department of Agriculture (DA) approved an order declaring mere possession of the material as a prime evidence for violation, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said on Monday. In a statement, BFAR said Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol signed the agency’s update to Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) No. 246 in accordance with Republic Act (RA) 10654 on the banning of the operation of Danish Seine and Modified Danish Seine in Philippine waters. RA 10564 outlaws certain fishing methods deemed harmful to marine ecosystems.
