Malacañang has called on the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) to look into the possible dismantling of all fish pens and fish cages in Laguna de Bay to give it a chance to recover from congestion. Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque issued the statement after brushing aside the complaints of some fisherfolk and fish pen operators about the LLDA’s restrictions in the lake waters in Rizal and Laguna. The LLDA recently issued Resolution 540 adopting a revised fishery zoning and management plan in the Laguna de Bay, including a limited area for fish pens and cages.
