To celebrate #SharkAwarenessDay here is a snippet from my talk last Saturday at #PAMS18. As of 2023, the 🇵🇭 Philippines has 166 species of sharks and rays and 95 of these are IUCN Threatened Species. However, only 45 species are protected nationwide. Still lots of work to do to #ConservePHSharks

Dr. Campos: changing mesh size to avoid catching juveniles is not an easy solution to implement. In some fisheries, this switch could mean that fishers don't catch anything at all, leading to livelihood displacement.

Jessie de los Reyes from Calatagan MFARMC: municipal fishers don't dictate the price. Case in pt — sardine price last year should've been Php120/kg but middlemen dictated the price of Php40/kg. How can we improve this situation for fishers?
