UP Visayas, represented by Chancellor Clement C. Camposano, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office VI (BFAR-6) and NGOs for Fisheries Reform (NFR) on May 11, 2021, on scaling up extension services and technology transfer to support fisherfolk. The collaboration is expected to improve the quality of life of the fisheries sector by conducting appropriate technical training, access to technology, and providing sustainable alternative livelihood, especially those affected by the pandemic. This is also in support of implementing the Visayan Sea Management Framework by incentivizing sustainable fishing practices, which is in line with the principles of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM).
