Excerpt

Oceana, the largest international non-government organization focused on marine conservation, has called on the Philippine government to establish management mechanisms on the fishing of sardines, which has already become a staple relief food amid COVID-19 pandemic. “Maybe because of its size, sardines is one of the most undervalued fishes in the Philippines in terms of protection and management mechanisms. It is one of the least pricey seafood sources of protein for most Filipinos,” Oceana said in a statement.
