As sardine shortage looms, canners seek leeway in commercial fishing
Excerpt
Sardine canners are appealing to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to ease regulations on commercial fishing to avoid a shortfall in fish supply. Canned Sardines Association of the Philippines executive director Francisco Buencamino asked the BFAR to convene a multiparty meeting, including local government units in coastal areas, to discuss the possibility of allowing commercial fishing boats to operate close to the shorelines covered by municipal waters.
