The Western Mindanao Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (WESMAARRDEC) highlighted one of its most notable exploits for the sardine industry. WESMAARRDEC's effort and that of its member agencies can provide support to the goal of improving the supply chain of sardines in selected regions of the country. The effort primarily addresses the decline in sardine's production, coupled with overfishing which may jeopardize the industry's numerous beneficiaries not only in the Zamboanga Peninsula but also in the hole country.
