Aquaculture Department Takes Shape in Philippines

“We cannot underestimate our country's fisheries and aquatic productivity potentials,” Nograles said as he endorsed the on-going efforts by the House committee on government reorganization and committee on fisheries and aquatic resources to finalize a draft bill establishing the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DFAR).

According to the MindanoExaminer, lawmakers led by Rep. Diosdado Macapagal-Arroyo, Luis Villafuerte, Ferdinand Martin Romualdez and Marcelino Teodoro have proposed in separate bills the creation of said department as a significant step to ensure the preservation and proper development of the nation's archipelagic waters and marine resources.
