A "Code of Practice for Sustainable Shrimp Farming" has been formulated. Behind the move were the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR), Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD), Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (DOST-PCAMRD), and Negros Prawn Producers' Marketing Cooperative, Inc. (NPPMCI). The four entities, through their top officials - BFAR director Malcolm Sarmiento Jr., SEAFDEC AQD chief Dr. Rolando R. Platon, PCAMRD executive director Dr. Rafael D. Guerrero III., and NPPMCI chairman Roberto Gatuslao - signified their commitment to promote sustainable shrimp farming in the country.
