Science Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. said warmer seas block the natural upwelling of nutrient-rich water from the ocean floor, pushing fish to migrate toward cooler waters and away from the fishing grounds small-scale fishermen depend on.

SPECIAL ON SATURDAY: Fishing communities across the Philippines face shrinking hauls and disappearing fish as El Niño-driven ocean warming suppresses the underwater food chain that sustains coastal livelihoods, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) warned.

Science Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. said warmer seas block the natural upwelling of nutrient-rich water from the ocean floor, pushing fish to migrate toward cooler waters and away from the fishing grounds small-scale fishermen depend on.

Solidum also warned that El Niño conditions raise the likelihood of stronger typhoons—compounding the risks already faced by fishing villages along the country's typhoon-exposed eastern seaboard.

Nakikiisa ang SIKAT sa Capiz Provincial Fisheries Development Plan Workshop ngayong May 21–22, 2026 na ginanap sa Roxas City. Ito ay pinapangunahan ng Capiz Provincial Government - Office of the Provincial Agriculture (CPG-OPA), kasama ang mga fisheries practitioners, partner agencies, at iba’t ibang stakeholders na may iisang layunin na hubugin ang mas maayos at mas matatag na kinabukasan ng sektor ng pangisdaan sa probinsya. Higit pa sa isang simpleng pagpaplano, naging pagkakataon ang workshop para sa makabuluhang talakayan at sama-samang pagkilos tungo sa isang mas progresibo at napapanatiling industriya ng pangisdaan.

Sa mga naging talakayan, binigyang diin ang kahalagahan ng pagtutulungan sa pagtugon sa mga hamon na kinahaharap ng mga komunidad ng mangingisda, habang isinusulong ang food security, pangangalaga sa yamang-tubig, at paglikha ng mas maraming oportunidad sa kabuhayan. Sa pamamagitan ng aktibong pakikilahok at pagpapalitan ng mga ideya, mas pinagtibay ang pagkakaisa at mga ugnayan para sa mas inklusibo at matatag na pamamahala ng sektor ng pangisdaan.

Patuloy ang paninindigan ng SIKAT sa pagsuporta sa mga programa at polisiya na naglalayong mapaunlad ang kabuhayan ng mga komunidad at mapangalagaan ang coastal resources para sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Sama-sama nating isinusulong ang isang mas maunlad at napapanatiling sektor ng pangisdaan.
