FMAs urged to abide to Nat'l Sardines Mgmt Plan

THE Philippines' 12 Fisheries Management Areas were urged to abide by the National Sardines Management Plan signed by the Department of Agriculture (DA) to address the alarming decline of the sardine stocks in the country.

This call was made by the marine conservation organization Oceana as local sardine fisherfolk are still struggling with their dwindling catch, two years after signing of the National Sardines Management Plan (Plan).
