After a year-long joint effort amongst a group of hotels, restaurants, retailers, and NGOs, the campaign for sustainable seafood still has a long way to go. Vince Cinches, the Greenpeace Philippines Oceans Campaigner for Southeast Asia, expressed his concerns on the heavy exploitation and over fishing in the country during the press launch of the 2017 Sustainable Seafood Week on Jan. 16 at the Mariott Hotel. He cited a report from the Bureau of Fisheries and Agrarian Reform in 2016 which said 10 out of 13 fishing grounds in the Philippines are endangered.
