Marine resources in Cebu are dwindling due to illegal fishing, threatening the province's food security, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources 7 (BFAR-7). Aquaculturist II Nathaniel Lucero of the BFAR-7 admitted that illegal fishing through the use of dynamites still exists in Central Visayas. "Dynamites destroy the marine environment and kill other marine resources... this, in the long run, will threaten food supply from the sea," said Lucero.
