Responsible fisherman


KIAMBA, Sarangani (February 28, 2008) – Hopeful of an abundant catch, fisherman Jimmy Labiga puts baits in fishing hooks inside his shack in barangay Suli Wednesday (Feb. 27). The well-protected coral reefs in the seas of Kiamba offer plenty of reef fishes (Isda sa Bato) like Lapu-lapu, Maya-maya, Dalagang Bukid, Biyad among others, as prime livelihood to the small fishermen in the area using the hook and line or pamasol. Thanks to the local government's stiff stance, dynamite fishing, use of fine mesh nets and other forms of destructive fishing were curtailed. (KIAMBA NEWS AND INFO CENTER/ACdeL)
