00:00The supply of fish is still sufficient, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

00:05They are even trying to reduce the number of fish caught in the West Philippine Sea.

00:10Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

00:16Two Chinese warships were hit by the ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.

00:22There, there, there. There's the laser.

00:24While the agency's airplane was hit by a laser in the West Philippine Sea a while ago.

00:30Those encounters last week only added to the long list of geopolitical tensions in the West Philippine Sea,

00:37which according to the fishermen themselves, is affecting their fishing there.

00:42This is also according to BFAR one of the reasons for the slow production of fish in the West Philippine Sea.

00:49In the first six months of this year, 7,000 metric tons of fish have been caught,

00:54compared to the same period in 2023.

00:57But there are other reasons aside from the tensions in the area.

01:00It's not only because of the geopolitical situation,

01:05there are also other reasons, like the rise of fuel,

01:09as well as the El Niño that passed through.

01:13Is the West Philippine Sea a significant source of fish?

01:16For now, the overall supply of fish is not affected to influence its price.

01:21There are also many other fishing spots in the Philippines.

01:25According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

01:28aside from marine catch, fish can also be added to the supply,

01:31such as tilapia and bangus from aquaculture.

01:34Aside from this, it is expected that the imported fish can also be added to the supply,

01:38which is expected to arrive during the close fishing season.

01:42But even if there is a sufficient supply for now,

01:44it is important, according to the BFAR,

01:46that the catch of fish is based on the capacity of the ocean.

01:50It is a science game for us to utilize resources.

01:54And now, China is coaching the West Philippine Sea

02:00that it did not reliculate.

02:02It is possible for this to result in overfishing.

02:07For GMA Integrated News,

02:09Bernadette Reyes is your witness.
