Guimaras milkfish project

The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department will culminate its Season-Long Training Course on Milkfish Cage Culture and Harvest for the oil spill-affected Guimaras fisherfolk on March 14 at the SEAFDEC/AQD Igang Marine Station in Nueva Valencia town.

The pilot project, which started in October 8 last year, will end with a harvest and distribution of certificates to trainees from the four barangay beneficiaries of Nueva Valencia.

In July 2007, the Petron Foundation Inc. and SEAFDEC/AQD signed an agreement on a pilot project on milkfish cage culture as a livelihood program for fisherfolk affected by the oilspill, in collaboration also with Citi Foundation/Citi Philippines and the Province of Guimaras.
