In a bid to enhance local marine biodiversity and promote sustainable fishing practices, the provincial government released 3,185 blue swimming crabs at Sitio Banban, Tambaliza, Concepcion town. The initiative, led by the Agriculture and Fisheries Division under the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAgrO), took place last December 2024. Blue swimming crabs, known scientifically as Portunus pelagicus, are prized for their tender meat and play a crucial role in the local economy.
