PH, US undertake workshop on fishing industry
Experts from the University of the Philippines School of Statistics facilitated the online workshop on September 2-3, bringing together various sectors to increase understanding of IUU fishing at a national level.
“I commend the Philippine government as it continues to ramp up its efforts against IUU fishing through investment in multi-stakeholder and inter-agency actions,” said Law. “This is the bluer normal we want to achieve towards the vision of a food-secured and resilient Philippines with prosperous farmers and fishers. We cannot afford to lose our fish to IUU fishing,” Gongona said.
The USAID-led efforts demonstrate the long-term partnership and joint strategic vision of the U.S. and Philippine governments to combat IUU fishing and enhance the well-being of millions of Filipinos who depend on fisheries for food and livelihoods.
