The government is not planning to implement a fishing ban, President Marcos clarified yesterday, saying what he meant in making such an announcement earlier was prohibiting the catching of fish in areas where they are breeding.
Earlier this week, Marcos said there should be no fishing in areas where fishes are being bred, explaining that such a restriction will increase the country’s fish stock. His statement was construed as a plan to impose a fishing ban.
But in a media interview in Camarines Sur, Marcos admitted that he did not explain well the plan to increase the fish population. “My explanation was not good. I was not referring to a fishing ban. What I was saying was we should not fish in breeding so that the fish will increase,” the President said in Filipino.Marcos said he had spoken with fishermen who informed him that their catch had dwindled, hence the need to take care of breeding grounds.
“We will come up with an area for processing. That is our plan for fisheries,” he said in an interview in Zamboanga City.
