Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr . on Tuesday raised the possibility of further enhancing fish harvest control as he noted that the country’s fisheries resources are nearly depleted."For deep sea fisheries, commercial fisheries like galunggong, sardines, unfortunately, I have to say we have to relax or reduce fishing efforts because it’s nearly depleted and overexploited,” Tiu Laurel said at a news forum in Taguig City.
Every year, the government through the DA-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources implements closed fishing seasons in Philippine waters such as the Visayan Sea, off the coast of Zamboanga Peninsula and Palawan to allow fish species to reproduce.The DA chief said the overexploitation of fisheries in the country was not only caused by commercial fishing but also municipal fishing as well as illegal fishing practices such as dynamite and cyanide use.
