Which agency is responsible for checking the proliferation of fishpens along coastlines of Parañaque, Cavite, Bacoor, Las Piñas, Navotas, and Bulacan? This question surfaced as small fishermen complained of their dwindling resources and increased operational expenses because of rise of fishpens in the area. The fishermen said that the pens have not only encroached on their traditional fishing grounds but have also blocked their passageways, resulting in long detours and higher fuel consumption.
