Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management | Dr. Jesus Paolo B. Cullado, current Director for Curriculum and Instruction, CvSU-Naic and permanent member (Academe Alternate) of the Fisheries Management Area 6 Technical Working Group attended the FMA6 General Technical Working Group Regular 1st Quarterly meeting held last February 28-March 1, 2024 at the Subic Bay Travelers Hotel and Event Center, SBMA, Olongapo City, Zambales.
The meeting was convened by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) together with their partner government agencies and organizations with the aim of establishing the Fisheries Management Area (FMA) for the conservation and management of Philippine fisheries. Such approach is designed to delineate Philippine waters in reference to fish stocks’ boundary, range and distribution. This concept has been formulated to promote science-based, participatory, and transparent fisheries management also known as Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM).
