The provincial government’s campaign against the prohibited hulbot-hulbot fishing has gotten a big boost. The Department of Agriculture (DA) approved a proposed update to Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) No. 246 banning Danish Seine and Modified Danish Seine, locally termed hulbot-hulbot. Danish Seine and Modified Danish Seine are active gears consisting of a conical net with a pair of wings, the ends of which are connected to a rope embedded with buri, plastic strips, sinkers or other similar materials to serve as scaring or herding device hauled through a mechanical winch or by manpower.
