The Philippine National Police Maritime Group (MG) is among the eight organizations in Asia that won the first Asian Environmental Enforcement Award held in Bangkok, Thailand last May 20 for conducting more than 1,500 operations against those who violate fisheries and wildlife laws. PNP spokesman Senior Supt. Bartolome Tobias said the United Nations Environmental Programme awarded the PNP-MG for its achievements that led to the seizure of endangered aquatic species, 3,000 arrests and collection of lines worth more than $300,000.
