Pangasinan cited for fishery program
LINGAYEN, Philippines – The provincial government of Pangasinan has received another award from the national government for its contribution to the fishery development, protection and conservation.
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) conferred the Gawad Pasasalamat sa mga Kabalikat sa Pangisdaan 2015 award on the provincial government during last Monday’s flag-raising ceremony at the capitol grounds.
BFAR regional director Nestro Domenden said Pangasinan is among the provinces that lead in fish production.
Domenden said last year, the province’s fish production hit 87.7 percent.
The agency cited the provincial government’s coastal resources education program.
Gov. Amado Espino Jr. thanked the BFAR for recognizing the program, which aims to develop the fishing sector in coastal areas.
