As part of the government's food self-sufficiency initiative, the Department of Agriculture (DA) has earmarked some P594 million for irrigation projects, farm machinery and fisheries inputs in Palawan. The projects include increased production of fry and fingerlings for distribution to fisherfolk, expansion of a multi-species marine fish hatchery, and upgrading of the seaweed tissue culture laboratory, all at BFAR-ISRS. The multi-species hatchery is a joint project of the DA-BFAR, Puerto Princesa City, (which provided the land), and aquaculture department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, which provided technical assistance and design of the hatchery coplex.
