    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.

    BFAR imposes 3-month fishing ban in Visayan sea
    Semilla, Nestle (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2022-11-18)
    For the next three months, fishing of some species at the Visayan Sea would be prohibited, said the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Central Visayas (BFAR-7). Starting on Nov. 15 until Feb. 15, 2023, fishers would not be allowed to catch pelagic species such as sardines, herrings and mackerels from the Visayan Sea to allow them to spawn and flourish in number, BFAR-7 said in a social media post on Thursday. The ban, which was based on the Fisheries Administrative Order No. 167-3 issued in 2013, was also intended to sustain the livelihood of small-scale or municipal fishers.
