What to do with the fish pens in Laguna de Bay: (Part IV and last of the series)
Excerpt
These four columns were provoked by the directive of the President two years ago to dismantle all the fish pens in Laguna de Bay. The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) complied as ordered and issued Resolution 518 Series of 2017 “directing all operators of existing fish pens and cages to harvest their fishstocks and demolish their structures by 31 March 2017, otherwise the same will be done by LLDA.” The ostensive reasons were 1) the fish pens were unfairly depriving the small fishermen of their livelihood, and 2) fish culture is polluting the lake via the process of eutrophication.
