THE AVERAGE postharvest fish loss in coastal communities along the Samar Sea, specifically in the Northern Samar and Samar provinces, amounts to 40 percent.
This means that almost half of the fish caught in these seas are spoiled, wasted or thrown back into the water, their nonconsumption leading to economic loss and malnutrition in the affected areas. Oceana, the global organization dedicated to ocean conservation that commissioned the study that determined these findings, has launched a campaign to reduce said loss by about 30 percent in a couple of years.
Our goal is to start from this community and learn lessons from there,' says Rhea Yray-Frossard, Oceana's campaign and research director, 'then possibly replicate and expand into Samar. And nationwide where we can also influence the national government.'Daram has been classified as a third-class municipality composed of 57 coastal barangay and one mountain barangay. According to Yray-Frossard, its high poverty incidence brings a high level of nutrition insecurity.
