The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has warned consumers from eating shellfish collected from Tambobo Bay in the town of Siaton and Bais Bay in Bais City — both in Negros Oriental — after the two areas tested positive for red tide contamination in the latest sampling. In a shellfish bulletin, BFAR said the bays join other red tide positive areas such as the coastal waters of Dauis and Tagbilaran City in Bohol; Cancabato Bay in Tacloban City, Leyte; Balite Bay in Mati City, Davao Oriental; and Lianga Bay in Surigao del Sur.
