ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 114 -
CONSTITUTING THE PRESIDENTIAL COMMITTEE ON ILLEGAL FISHING AND MARINE
CONSERVATION
WHEREAS, the rampant and massive
destruction of the country's marine and aquatic resources by the use of
explosives, sodium cyanide and other non-biodegradable poisons,
'muro-ami", "kayakas", undersized nets, poaching and other illegal
fishing methods are threatening the country's primary protein source
and future food supply;
WHEREAS, this continuing cycle of destruction is drastically reducing
the total yield which the marine environment can sustain, and the
resulting shortage is already affecting the nutritional status and
health of the people;
WHEREAS, the Philippines is blessed with a significant variety of
corals, tropical fish and other marine resources;
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to coordinate the efforts of national
and local government agencies, civic organizations, and the residents
of fishing communities for a total and simultaneous campaign to stop
and reverse this destructive trend, and manage our fishery resources to
maintain their productivity;
