CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – In response to the proposed construction of community fish ports in Cagayan de Oro City lodged by the Office of Congressman Rufus B. Rodriguez, a team from the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) paid courtesy a visit to DA-RFO 10 through Regional Technical Director for Research and Regulations, Cora A. Dumayaca at the agency compound on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

Over the course of the week, DA-RFO 10 thru Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado, along with BFAR-10 will assist the PFDA personnel in coordinating with the local chief executive and respondents to gather pre-feasibility data and information relative to the said project.

Information such as the number and characteristics of fishing vessels operating in the city, the number of productive fish pens/cages, volume of fish production, volume of fish being traded and unloaded in existing fish landing, proposed project site, and other relevant information, will be collected as supplementing ground data in support of the proposed project.

Data gathered by the team will then be reviewed and evaluated as bases in the conduct of a full-blown feasibility study by PFDA. # (ATTalib)
