Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Region 6 signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with two local government units in northern Iloilo (Carles and Concepcion) and other enforcement agencies to strengthen the safeguarding activities of Western Visayas’ marine environment and resources.

Preserving, conserving and protecting them are therefore important. In Carles and Concepcion, illegal fishing is rampant.
