Excerpt
Poor fishing threatens Iloilo’s economy and food security. Daily Guardian recently cited the Institute of Contemporary Economics (ICE) report that fisheries output dropped 42.1% from 2020 to 2023, the most significant drop in four decades. From 2021 to 2023, the industry value fell from nearly PhP 10 billion to 5.417 billion. This downturn may be attributable to a perfect storm of climate change, overfishing, environmental degradation, poor infrastructure, outdated technologies, and the pandemic.
