Published March 3, 2021, 5:30 AM The Department of Agriculture’s (DA) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) officially lifted the 10th closed fishing season for sardines in the Zamboanga Peninsula. The closed fishing season is being implemented in accordance with Bureau Administrative Circular (BAC) No. 255 as a marine conservation measure to help protect and conserve sardine species in the Zamboanga Peninsula. Beginning every December 1, the closed fishing season bans for three months the catching of sardines using purse seine, ringnet, bagnet and scoopnet within a conservation area covering the East Sulu Sea, Basilan Strait, and Sibuguey Bay. By enforcing the closed season, sardines fish stocks are able to replenish and recover, ensuring the abundance of sardines and other fishery resources in the area.
