Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) national director Commodore Eduardo B. Gongona underscored the importance of municipal water and its abundant marine resources in view of the government’s campaign to achieve food security in the country. Gongona, who is Agriculture Undersecretary for Fisheries, was among the guests and a keynote speaker during the culminating activity for the month-long Visayan Sea Seaborne Patrol Operation last May 6 at Culasi Port here.
