THE 11th closed fishing season in Davao Gulf officially ended on August 31, 2024.
Macario Gonzaga, regional executive director of the Department of Agriculture-Davao Region , said that the closed season not only boosted the sardine population but also led to more frequent sightings of large, high-value fish species that feed on sardines.“I want to reiterate that this is one of the strategies of DA to conserve and protect the fisheries resources in the country,” he said on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
During the closed season, Bfar-Davao strictly prohibited the use of bag nets, ring nets, or modified fishing gear with similar operations. However, fishermen with appropriate permits were allowed to fish using hook and line or other approved gear.Violators face fines ranging from P20,000 to P500,000 or more, as outlined in Section 100 of Republic Act 10654, which amends RA 8550, the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998.
