Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala has earmarked ₱5 million for the development of Palawan's marine fisheries and aquaculture. The money will be used to expand grow-out ponds and procure additional broodstock for the Island Sea Ranching Station (ISRS) of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Sta. Lucia, Puerto Princesa City. Money will also be poured to expand three BFAR projects, the marine fish broodstock development, multi-species marine fish hatchery, and fishpond development, which is being undertaken in collaboration with the Puerto Princesa city government.
