The conservation and management of fish stocks remains a top priority for industry leaders in the country’s “Tuna Capital”, even through the midst of the global financial crisis.
The theme of 11th National Tuna Congress is “Changing mindsets towards sustainable fisheries,” which will be held August 27-29 at the General Santos City Gymnasium.
The event will focus on measures to ensure the appropriate management of tuna resources, including expanding industry cooperation towards responsible fisheries, and new regulations governing illegal and unregulated fishing. (GEM/PIA)
