This came as US Vice President Kamala Harris visited the fishing village of Tagburos in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, where she talked with local fishers about the impacts of such activities on their economy and on the marine ecosystem.
“Unsustainable fishing practices perpetuate a cycle of poverty and natural resource depletion,” another White House official said.“USAID will support Tagburos through a multifaceted set of resilience interventions that includes IUU assessment and risk reduction planning, ensuring resilience of fish stocks, systematic marine protected area network designing, and improving fish catch through appropriate harvest controls,” the official said.
These included improving fishers’ financial literacy; establishing market linkages between fishers and government agencies, academic institutions and private sector; setting up community savings associations, and developing micro enterprises to lessen their dependence on marine resources. Other initiatives launched in the island province during Harris’ visit were the expansion of the Philippine Coast Guard’s vessel traffic management system.
