Excerpt

After two years of uncertainty, Laguna Lake fish growers now look forward to the resolution of the impasse over the continuing presence of fish pens and cages in Laguna de Bay. They are now ready to fully re-stock their fish pens and resume operations. All the excess and illegal fish pens have been dismantled and those that remain are bonafide fish farms duly accredited by the authorities which are up-to-date with their fees and compliant with existing regulations. Except for some details in the relocation of fish structures, the organized fish producers and fisher folk welcome the new fishery development plan by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA).
