The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has recommended keeping the fishing ban in three oil spill-hit areas in Oriental Mindoro as traces of oil slicks remain in the affected coastal municipalities.
In a statement Monday, the agency said fishing ban should be maintained in the towns of Pola, Pinamalayan, and Naujan citing the risk of contamination due to the lingering oil traces.
“Meanwhile, the trend indicated that the PAH amount present in seafood from Oriental Mindoro had stabilized to much lower concentrations,” it added.
