Vietnam is looking forward to earning $12 billion from fisheries by 2020 while the Philippines currently earns just $500 million. “Something is wrong,” said marine scientist Rafael Guerrero at a regional scientific conference for Luzon convened by the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST). “It’s a shame if we keep on neglecting fisheries. We are answerable to the next generation.”
