CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Nov. 21 (PIA) -– To correct the ways on illegal fishing activities being practiced by fisherfolks and improve their living conditions, the Fishery Management Office (FMO) provided recently 18 motor engines to fishermen of Barangay Ibaba West in this city. | |||
FMO, through its Fishery Management Officer Virgil Cantos, aims to orient fishermen on the right way of fishing and encourage them to stop using compressor in their fishing activities. A compressor is a breathing apparatus or device that supplies oxygen under the water. | |||
Although fishermen can use oxygen under water, Cantos said it is still illegal because it is hazardous or unsafe to their health. It destroys the lungs of a person and the pressure coming from it would damage their hearing. | |||
The use of compressor also affects the habitat of fish in the water. The bubbles from the air compressor which drive the fish into the fish nets would cause to wreck the corals under the sea. | |||
Lack of equipment in fishing is one of the reasons why fishermen continuously engage in this practice. And now, the City Government of Calapan provided the fishermen of said barangay engines for their boats and fishing nets in order for them to stay away from illegal practice of fishing in the area. | |||
City Mayor Doy C. Leachon said, ‘it’s not necessary to sacrifice one’s health for living without sure success.’ He believes that by means of FMO’s efforts to help them, fishermen of said barangay will gradually uplift their living conditions and they help the City Government of Calapan. | |||
This undertaking of the City Government is in line with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) of the national government wherein development efforts need to focus on transforming the sector into one that is not only highly productive but also environment-friendly and sustainable. | |||
