Excerpt
With the aim to put a halt to the use of active gear in municipal waters and at the same time ensure that fishers continue their main source of livelihooh, the fisheries bureau here currently implements a mechanism on voluntary surrender of baby trawl in exchange for legally-allowed fishing gears. BFAR Provincial Fisheries Officer Venchito Villarao said that as of this time, the Bureau has collected 111 combined sets of baby trawl and trawl, locally known as 'galadgad'. The fishing gear is prohibited under section 95 of RA 10654.
