00:00The production of fish in the West Philippine Sea has decreased due to tensions between China and the Philippines

00:06according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

00:08But despite this, the supply of fish has not been affected in the markets.

00:12We have the first news from Bernadette Reyes.

00:19Two Chinese warships were hit by the ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.

00:25There, there, there. There, the laser.

00:27While the agency's airplane was hit by a laser in the West Philippine Sea a while ago.

00:32Those encounters last week only added to the long list of geopolitical tensions in the West Philippine Sea

00:40which, according to the fishermen themselves, is affecting their fishing there.

00:45This is also according to BFAR one of the reasons for the decreasing production of fish in the West Philippine Sea.

00:52In the first six months of this year, 7,000 metric tons have decreased compared to the same time in 2023.

01:00But there are other reasons aside from the tensions in the area.

01:03Not only in the geopolitical situation, there are also other reasons like the increase in fuel and the El Nino that passed.

01:16Even though the West Philippine Sea is an important source of fish,

01:19for now, the overall supply of fish has not been affected to influence its price.

01:24There are also many other fisheries in the Philippines.

01:28According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

01:31aside from marine catch, fish can also be added to the supply such as tilapia and bangus from aquaculture.

01:37Aside from this, it is expected that the imported fish can also be added to the supply

01:41which is expected to arrive during the close fishing season.

01:45But even though there is a sufficient supply for now,

01:47it is important according to BFAR to base the catch of fish on the capacity of the ocean.

01:53It should not be a science game for us to utilize resources.

01:57China is now coaching the West Philippine Sea that it should not be regulated.

02:05It is possible that this will result in overfishing.

02:10This is the first news, Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.

02:15Bye.
