dc.descriptionThe Philippine fish catch is declining by an average of 45,000 metric tons (MT) each year due to overfishing, illegal fishing, and weak enforcement of fisheries law, according to Oceana Philippines. In a report, Oceana Philippines said capture fisheries production fell from 2.6 million MT in 2010 to about 1.9 million MT in 2023, representing an annual loss of 45,472 MT. “Our fisheries are not just declining, they are in freefall. We’ve lost nearly 600,000 MT of potential catch in just over a decade. That’s enough fish to provide a healthy meal to every Filipino for a month,” Von Glenn S. Hernandez, vice-president of Oceana Philippines, said at the report’s launch on Monday.en
