BFAR recommends to retain bans on fishing, harvesting seaweeds in oil spill-affected areas. | ManilaBulletin
According to BFAR, PAH are toxic to humans and other living beings and may build in the flesh of marine organisms over time. Meanwhile, due to their immobility, seaweeds and other sessile species are more likely to accumulate PAHs. .
The spill may have moved farther due to ocean currents and wind direction, and more PAHs may have accumulated in marine species since the above samples were taken in the early days of March, the BFAR noted. Around 19,000 fishermen, among others, continue to suffer from the fishing ban that is currently imposed in oil spill-affected areas, he said.
