Fishery management areas. BFAR is implementing ecosystem approach to
fishery management through the setting of FMAs. In FMAs, the important
element is inter-LGU cooperation and designation of zones where access and
control of fishers are regulated. Hence, FMAs can be implemented even in areas
not yet delineated.
Preferential rights in the issuance of public lease agreements. One of the BFAR
programs that can help secure the fisherfolks in the coastal areas is the provision
of Fishpond Lease Agreements (FLAs). However, of the 403 listed aquaculture
farms as of June 2018, only two were issued to fisherfolk organizations.
