The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has engaged the Negros Occidental provincial government for stronger implementation of the closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea, an official said Wednesday. In a statement, BFAR-Western Visayas Regional Director Remia Aparri said there is still a need to address illegal fishing activities such as dynamite fishing and intrusion in the municipal waters even during the period of the fishing ban. The three-month closed fishing season will be from November 15, 2019 until February 15, 2020.
