What to do with the fish pens in Laguna de Bay (Part 3)
Excerpt
‘There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?’– Robert Kennedy In the 05 March 2017 column I dealt at length with Resolution 518 series of 2017 of the Board of the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Regina Lopez, innocently titled “Declaring a Moratorium on the Operation of Aquaculture Structures within Laguna de Bay.” However, the resolution in its last paragraph gave an ultimatum to “all operators of existing fish pens/cages to harvest their fish stocks and demolish their structures by March 31, 2017, otherwise the same will be done by the LLDA.”
