Dredging activities have caused the surfacing of flounder, or flatfish, in Manila Bay but further study needs to be done on how this may affect the livelihood of fisherfolk in the area, a marine biologist said.
“With the ongoing dredging activities in Manila Bay, sand is being extracted as filling material for reclamation projects, which disturbs the habitats of flatfishes and other demersal fish and benthic invertebrate species,” marine scientist Jerwin Baure told CNN Philippines.
According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources , there are at least 108 species of flatfish in the country. However, the size of its population is not well documented. Fisher's group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas earlier raised the alarm after fisherfolk in Cavite reported the sighting of flatfish, locally known as"tampal-puke" or"isdang dapa," in Manila Bay.
