To increase livelihood opportunities and income of fishers in Mainit, Surigao del Norte, the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Caraga have dispersed 60,00 bangus and 70,00 carp fingerlings in Lake Mainit as part of the Balik Sigla sa Ilog at Lawa program. Emmanuel Piñol, agriculture secretary, said this move seeks to address the dwindling resources and increase the volume of fish catch in major lakes and rivers basins across the country as well as to preserve Lake Mainit's endemic fish speciePijanga. Piñol also distributed agri-fishery assistance including three units of 30-footer double engine patrol boats to strengthen and enhance surveillance measures against illegal fishing activities in the area.
