Tinanggal na ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ang fishing ban sa Visayan Sea.
Sa abiso ng BFAR nitong Biyernes, ipinatupad ang closed fishing season simula Nobyembre 15, 2022 hanggang Pebrero 15, 2023.
“No violation was committed against the three-month ban on catching, selling, and buying of sardine, herring, and mackerel species in the Visayan Sea,” sabi ng BFAR.
“This shows that municipal fishers, commercial fishers, traders, and market vendors are compliant with the law and respect the ‘Pahuway sang Baybay’ (rest of the sea) despite the pandemic that challenged them and their means of livelihood,” paliwanag ng BFAR.
Ipinatupad ang fishing ban Masbate, Capiz, Iloilo, Negros Occidental at Cebu, ayon pa sa BFAR.
