Meanwhile, the coastal waters in Clusters 4 (Bongabong, Roxas, Mansalay, Bulalacao) and Cluster5 (Puerto Galera, Baco, San Teodoro) were found to be within acceptable standards for fishing activities. The provincial government of Mindoro may consider the resumption of fishing activities in these municipalities. The DA-BFAR will continue monitoring oil spill-hit areas for a time-series observation, which will be the basis of its recommendations for concerned government agencies and local government offices.
