This webinar will unpack the current challenges facing Philippine fisheries, from declining fish stocks and governance gaps to the growing threats posed by commercial fishing encroachment in municipal waters. It will also tackle the implications of the Mercidar case on LGU authority and explore actionable pathways to strengthen local enforcement and transparency mechanisms.
๐ฃ๏ธ Hear from leading maritime experts, legal practitioners, and local maritime governance champions as they:
* Present the latest science-based insights on the status of Philippine fisheries
* Clarify legal and policy developments affecting municipal waters and LGU jurisdiction
* Showcase tools like Vessel Monitoring Measures (VMM) and Karagatan Patrol to enhance transparency and enforcement
* Mobilize unified local action to protect municipal waters and uphold fisherfolk welfare
๐ฑ As pressures on our marine ecosystems intensify, the role of LGUs has never been more crucial. Join us in shaping a more sustainable future for our fisheries sector.
