Sen. Imee Marcos has called for a review of the country's fisheries laws to better protect small-scale fishers, particularly in light of envi-ronmental changes and a recent Supreme Court ruling that allows commercial fishing vessels to operate within municipal waters. Marcos said the Philippine Fisheries Code or Republic Act (RA) 8550 should be revisited, citing the fears of municipal fishermen from commercial ves-sels encroaching on their territories.
