A group of prawn growers here, alarmed over the mass death of prawns worth million of pesos reportedly due to prawn virus, water pollution, and chemicals has asked the Department of Public Works and Highways and the Philippine Ports Authority to send survey teams to the municipalities of President Roxas, Panay and Roxas City where prawn ponds have been greatly affected. Jose A. Hernandez, Capiz Prawn Growers Association (CPGA) president initiated the move to study the feasibility of dredging the mouth of Tinagong Dagat to allow the free flow of polluted water towards the sea.
