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. Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) 95
