Resorts, shrimp farm owners get until end-Sept. to comply with Pujada Bay protected area requirements
Excerpt
Business owners along the Pujada Bay in Mati City have been given an extension until end-September to comply with all the requirements to operate in a declared protected area. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Davao Region office, in a statement on Thursday, said the “one month leeway to all resource users” was for “humanitarian reasons” and agreed upon in a meeting on Aug. 18. Data from the Pujada Bay Landscape and Seascapes Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) show there are 156 foreshore users, including resorts and other leisure establishments.
