A project to install payao, or a fish aggregating structure, at the coastal waters of Pamplona, Cagayan, is expected to boost the fishery production of the municipality and increase the incomes of its fishers. According to the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Region 2 (DA-BFAR2), the project materialized following the two-day Payao Design, Construction and Management training held at the Community Fish Landing Center in Pamplona on May 23 to 24. DA-BFAR2 headed by Angel Balisi Encarnacio said the training was organized as part of the lined up activities for this year’s celebration of farmers and fishers month.
