Sen. Loren Legarda yesterday called the attention of government agencies enforcing the Fisheries Code in light of reports of continuing practice of dynamite fishing in the waters of Siargao. The dynamite fishing caused the deaths of at least 22 dwarf sperm whales and dolphins. "This is another unfortunate case of marine resource abuse. Dynamite fishing has long been banned and is punishable under the Fisheries Code along with illegal fishing methods," said Legarda.
