The Department of Agriculture claimed on Tuesday, June 8, that the increased presence of Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Philippine Coast Guard operatives in the West Philippine S

ea has bolstered the confidence of Filipinos to catch fish in the area.

“The West Philippine Sea is a rich source of fish for the Philippines, contributing significantly to the country’s food security. Our increased presence in the area, through the DA-BFAR’s floating assets, is the Department of Agriculture’s way of ensuring that our fisherfolk are able to enjoy access to our fishery and aquatic resources in the WPS, while ensuring at the same time that these activities are within sustainable and rational means,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said.

These assets aim to provide assistance and protection to Filipino fisherfolk venturing in the areas, the secretary added.
