 After
years and years of taking fish and other delectable
aquatic creatures from the sea, a group of fisherfolks
and some government officials have resolved to
give back to nature by planting mangrove trees
along the country’s coastal areas nationwide.
MANGROVE REHAB. A massive
rehabilitation of mangrove and watershed program
is being undertaken by the BFAR in collaboration
with the LGUs, NAPC – Fisheries Sector and
PAMPANO, a fisherfolk organization. Shown from

IV-A, Ka Raffy and NAPC commissioner Rogelio “Ka
Onyok” Amatorio, Jr.

The
latest analysis results of finfish and sediment
samples collected by the Bureau of Fisheries and
Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and analyzed by the Bureau
of Plant Industry - National Pesticide Analytical
Laboratory (NPAL) yielded non-detectable results
for endosulfan.
The
Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries
and Aquatic Resources pays tribute to its stakeholders
as it provides a select group of fisherfolk leaders
the opportunity to take over the administration
of its national and regional offices nationwide
for the whole month of May.
