A group of fishermen has sought the help of an environment nongovernmental organization to address their concern over the construction of structures within the coastal easement zones in a village of Medellin town in northern Cebu after failing to get the government to act on their seven-year-old complaint. Merdivina Tuico, the lead complainant, said some people who owned beach houses and establishments in Barangay Daanlungsod constructed sea walls and have closed the access to the sea, to the detriment of fishermen and other residents in the area.
