BFAR completes 15 fish landing centers in WV

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR-6) completed 15 community fish landing centers (CLFC) in Western Visayas to boost marketing of fish catch in the region. Joel Abalayan of BFAR-6 Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Office said the establishment of CLFC is a targeted intervention to spur inclusive growth in the coastal areas with high poverty incidence and large population of registered fisherfolk. “The CFLCs will serve as hubs for economic activities, as community center for fish trade and venue for skills training,” Abalayan said.
