SEAFDEC/AQD spearheads 3-year program to expand aquaculture
Excerpt
The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) is spearheading a three-year program to aggressively expand aquaculture development in the province of Antique. In a memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed yesterday between SEAFDEC AQD and the local government of Antique led by Exequiel Javier, SEAFDEC AQD, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture, will implement starting this year a P5.4-million program focusing on the institutional capacity development on sustainable aquaculture and stock enhancement in Antique. This is part of Antique’s bid to establish itself as a major player in the growing aquaculture business in this region.
