The Philippine Fisheries
Despite having the richest fish resources in the world, the Philippine fish
production has substantially declined in the last 15 years. The poor
fisherfolk, still making use of backward gear and technology at the turn of
the 21st century, are drowning in abject poverty. This book discusses in
detail the symptoms of a deeper crisis in fishery as manifested in low
productivity, depletion, degradation, backwardness and poverty.
