The two-day workshop allowed representatives of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) from the regional offices as well as some 70 local stakeholders to dissect the applicability of specific strategies to the region(s) or to certain commodities (Tilapia, Shrimps, Milkfish, Seaweeds, and other Fin Fishes).
