Red tide alert still on in Bataan coastal waters
Excerpt
Red tide has plagued the coastal waters of Bataan for six months now and is showing no signs of waning. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) yesterday issued another appeal to the public to refrain from gathering and eating shellfish from one city and seven towns of Bataan. Red tide toxin, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning remains present in these areas,†said Lanie Lamyong, information officer of the BFAR regional office.
