    DOH warns against jellyfish stings
    (Sun • Star Publishing, 2023-07-01)
    Tourists and locals in Central Visayas are warned to be cautious when swimming in jellyfish-infested waters as stings could, in fact, kill humans. Dr. Eugenia Mercedes Cañal of the Regional Epidemiology Surveillance Unit (Resu) of the Department of Health 7 said jellyfish naturally sting to protect themselves from predators or any other harmful animals. "It is not the fault of nature that we intruded on their habitat because they are there. Just imagine if someone trespasses on your house, what would you do?" she told SunStar Cebu on Friday, June 30, 2023.

    Illegal fishing decreases Central Visayas production
    Osmeña, Rico (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2023-11-22)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Central Visayas disclosed on Wednesday that fish production in the region continues to decline due to the proliferation of illegal fishing activities. BFAR-7 spokesperson Laila Bragat revealed that the low fish production is due to illegal fishing activities such as the illicit use of commercial fishing methods and fine mesh nets. In line with this, the agency has initiated a three-month fishing ban on specific species in various locations across the Visayan Sea and Bragat said, the ban or the implementation of a closed fishing season aims to facilitate fish propagation and ensure the conservation of crucial species, such as sardines, herrings and mackerel in the Visayan Sea fishing grounds.
