On my second year back in Bohol, I have always wondered about the strength of the fishing associations in the province having come from General Santos City where the SOCSKSARGEN Federation of Fishing and Allied Industries, Inc., a fishing federation with national, regional and global partners, is a force to reckon with! They lead the industry and influence national leadership in decision-making. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is their very strong partner, and they collaborate with different sectors and local government units.
