    Excerpt
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will implement beginning this week the amended Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 that cracks down on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The much-contested amendment lapsed into law on Feb. 27 amid strong opposition from the local commercial fishing industry which is upset over what it considers to be “oppressive and confiscatory” regulations. Fisheries director Asis Perez said the amendments made to the Fisheries Code would ensure the protection of the country's marine resources.
