3-month fishing ban on Visayan Sea ends in Feb.
Excerpt
The closed season in the Visayan Sea for sardines, herrings and mackerels that started on Nov. 15, 2018 would end next month. “Prohibiting fishers from catching them will increase the population of these species. It is really for fishers so they can have increased catch and increased income,” said Regional Director Remia Aparri of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The closed season will run until Feb. 15, stated BFAR’s Fisheries Administrative Order 167-3.
