In Or. Mindoro, fishing ban off in 7 areas, stays in 6

Oriental Mindoro Gov. Humerlito Dolor on Monday lifted the fishing ban in at least seven towns in the province, saying the coastal waters in these areas were already “within acceptable standards” for fishing activities based on recent sample tests. The fishing ban, however, will stay in the waters of the capital Calapan City and in the towns of Naujan, Pola, Pinamalayan, Gloria and Bansud “due to the risk of contamination by the oil” that continued to linger in the waters off these areas, Dolor said.
