Sustainable fishing
Excerpt
With prices of fish rising, the government has approved the importation of galunggong. Among those hit by the move, however, are many of the biggest consumers of the so-called poor man’s fish: small-scale fishermen and their families. No wonder the main organization of small-scale fishermen is opposing the importation – the first time in about two decades that the country is importing fish. The government says the importation is meant merely to ensure steady supply while a moratorium on fishing is observed for several months. The moratorium is part of efforts to rehabilitate fishing grounds destroyed by a trawler-type fishing method employed by commercial fishing operators using the Danish seine or hulbot-hulbot.
