00:00 The water is already around us but our fishing rod is sinking.
00:05 That's why the President is thinking of some measures like the implementation of a fishing ban.
00:10 A small group of fishermen immediately got excited and pointed to Ivan Mayrina.
00:16 The President said that the number of fishermen is decreasing.
00:22 That's why the President is thinking of implementing some measures to stop overfishing.
00:28 According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:30 the country's fish production decreased by more than 11% in the second quarter of this year
00:35 compared to the same period last year.
00:38 The catchment of our fishermen is decreasing
00:44 because the fish farms that we grow are not destroyed.
00:52 That's why we are returning to the fish farms and we will fix it and we will monitor it.
00:59 Sometimes, we need to stop fishing so that we can have more fish for the next season.
01:05 That's what we are looking at now.
01:08 There are places where fishing should not be allowed because it is for breeding,
01:16 so that the population of fish increases.
01:19 The group of fishermen is considering the implementation of a fishing ban.
01:23 It is possible that it will only affect small fish.
01:26 They are the only ones who are caught and caught.
01:29 It's not a big commercial fishing vessel.
01:31 The reclamation and conversion should also be stopped,
01:34 which will also have a big effect on the fish supply.
01:36 According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of BIFAR,
01:40 the illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is losing a billion pesos.
01:44 It needs regulation because our rich seas are not unleashed.
01:49 If we are also called unregulated fishing,
01:52 it means that it is a type of fishing where there is no regulation and no control.
01:56 So it is not good for our seas because our use of our natural resources needs to be sustainable.
02:04 Aside from the possible fishing ban,
02:06 the President also said that the construction of cold storage or fish tanks is being studied
02:10 so that the hooling and processing facilities for this will not be damaged.
