Government and private fisheries stakeholders in the Zamboanga Peninsula were asked to ensure the continuous supply of sardines for canning companies and local markets as government also assured undertaking logistics and post-maritime harvest interventions to municipal fisheries groups. This came out in a Fisheries Management Area 4 Management Board (FMA4MB) meeting last Friday in Zamboanga City wherein the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) gathered key stakeholders and players in the sardine industry. The BFAR also held a consultation with similar groups on Wednesday also in the city.
