The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has stepped up efforts to enhance understanding and pro-active management of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), commonly known as red tide, in Eastern Visayas. The program, dubbed as Community Alliance for Sustaining our Threatened Seas (COASTS) was launched in this town last Thursday in partnership with the Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines (UPMSI) and the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD).
