There is a need to strictly implement and put into motion the National Sardines Management Plan especially during the closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea to ensure food and livelihood security for municipal fisherfolk and commercial fish workers during the period.
Based on the Fisheries Administrative Order no. 167-3 issued in 2013, portions of the Visayan Sea are closed for catching, selling, and buying of sardines and herrings (tamban/ tabagak/ tamban-tuloy/ balantiong) and mackerels (hasa-hasa/ gumaa/ bulao/ alumahan) while the Zamboanga Peninsula’s closed fishing season is for sardines only.
The closed season in the Visayan Sea started on November 15 until February 15, 2021 while the Zamboanga Peninsula closed season for sardines started on December 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021.

Complementary measures are needed to ensure food and livelihood security for municipal fisherfolk and commercial fish workers in the Philippines during the closed fishing season, according to the international organization Oceana.
In a statement, Oceana has called for the implementation of sardines management plan during the closed fishing season.
To be specific, the closed season in the Visayan Sea started on November 15 and will end on February 15, 2021, while the Zamboanga Peninsula closed season for sardines began on December 1, 2020 and will end on March 1, 2021.
During this period, the catching of sardines using purse seine, ringnet, bagnet, and scoop net within the aforementioned areas is prohibited.

THE CLOSED fishing season declared over the Visayan Sea and the Zamboanga Peninsula will be more adequately enforced once the rules on sardine management and vessel monitoring are implemented, environmental non-government organization (NGO) Oceana said.
“The declaration of closed fishing season by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) this year takes a more significant turn because the National Sardines Management Plan was signed and up for implementation. Secondly, we have the rules on vessel monitoring measures also ready for implementation that will help in effectively enforcing the closed season,” according to a statement from the organization, quoting its vice president Gloria Estenzo Ramos.
