DENR clearing Laguna Lake of fish pens
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) began the other day a massive clearing of illegal structures in Laguna de Bay. Two weeks have passed since the DENR issued a final notice to operators of fish pens and cages within the lake to conduct self-demolition. DENR’s National Anti-Environmental Crime Task Force (NAECTF), together with the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), National Bureau of Investigation-Environmental Crime Division (NBI-EnCD), Philippine Army and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) conducted the dismantling operation.
