The local government of Claveria has allocated at least P3.1 million for its Fisheries Law Enforcement Team (FLET) and vows to maintain and strengthen its mechanism against illegal fishing activities. The coastal town that is the prime fishing ground in Cagayan Valley (Region 2) is among the 12 municipalities along the entire stretch of Babuyan Channel having strong institutional support and mechanisms to check illegal fishing. The local government formed its FLET composed of 30 deputy fish wardens back in 2012 that collaborates with Fisheries Law Enforcement Agencies such as the Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard, and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to curb illegal fishing in their area.
