Here's one good news to fishermen, particularly those in northern Iloilo. The closed season in the Visayan Sea for sardines, herrings, and mackerels that started on Nov. 15, 2018, would end this Feb. 15. The fishing ban was imposed so that the fishes will have time to repopulate themselves. The goal is for fishermen to have a bigger catch, thereby increasing their income.
