The coastal law enforcers here in Bohol are asking all mayors of coastal towns for help in implementing the marine laws. Engr. Renee Villaber, of the Bohol Environment and Management Office, admits that the Coastal Law Enforcement Council has problems not only in the government but also in the additional funds for the Bantay Dagat Movement, enforcers, fish wardens and gasoline for the seaboard patrol.
Other problems include: CLEC I having only two pumpboats while CLEC II and III have only one pumpboat each. Mayor Balistoy of Cortes, head of CLEC I, admits that one pumpboat from Tubigon to Maribojoc is not enough; how much more in the Bohol Marine Triangle which includes the towns of Baclayon, Dauis, and Panglao.
