In a simple yet fun-filled celebration of "Araw ng Mangingisda" at this free port recently, fisherfolk vowed to work for the protection and preservation of the marine ecosystem and denounced the use of plastics and other non-biodegradable products. Members of the Subic Bay Integrated Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council (SBIFARMC) said they rallied behind the call of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) for a ban on the use of plastics. The SBMA has been enforcing a "No Plastic Bag/No Syrofoam" policy among retail establishments inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone since Jan. 1, 2013, imposing stiff penalties on habitual violators.
