International environmental organization Oceana commends Northern Samar Governor Edwin Ongchuan for the determination to adopt the science-based approach to managing the #fisheries of the province and for his positive response to address the critical issue of post-harvest fish losses, the dire state of the locals’ nutrition and pervasive poverty in the province as articulated in the Oceana study covering Samar and Northern Samar. The findings of Oceana’s study showing market losses that are as high as 38.39 percent of the province’s total catch from harvesting to marketing stages was presented by Oceana’s Campaign and Research Director, Lawyer Rhea Yray-Frossard during the Provincial Development Council meeting recently.
