More patrol boats for coastal towns vs illegal fishermen
Excerpt
To bolster its anti-illegal fishing campaign, the provincial government is giving patrol boats to seven coastal towns. Provincial Administrator Raul Banias said the local governments of San Joaquin, Miag-ao, Oton, Barotac Viejo, Dumangas, Ajuy, and Carles would each receive one patrol boat. The turnover is scheduled next month. Banias is also the head of the Iloilo Provincial Bantay Dagat Task Force (PBDTF).
