To ensure sustainable fisheries and aquatic resources in Misamis Occidental (MisOcc), the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Region 10 (BFAR-10) Director Teodoro Bacolod, Jr., lays out plans with the province’s 1st District Representative, Jason Almonte to empower fisherfolk in the locale towards productivity and resiliency.

Bacolod, together with his provincial fishery officer (PFO) in MisOcc, Cirilo Bagcat, talked the congressman through programs and projects fitted for the increase of fisheries production in the province.

Congressman Almonte responded on a positive note and guaranteed to work hand-in-hand with the bureau to make these plans realized within his term.

Furthermore, both were looking forward to a window of opportunities for a legislated hatchery, a fish port, and a series of training in aquaculture for inspiring pond owners that encourage additional yield for fisherfolk living offshore. (BFAR10/PIA-10/Misamis Occidental)
