The establishment of the seaweed nursery farming at Sitio Tagbak, Tabugon, Liloan, Southern Leyte marks a significant milestone in our commitment to improving the livelihood of our local fisherfolk. This initiative was made possible through the unwavering support of our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Jonna C. Adan, Vice Mayor Hon. Shirlita Y. Chong, and the entire Sangguniang Bayan members. Their dedication to the welfare of our community has been instrumental in bringing this project to life.
We are also deeply grateful to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR-8), led by Director Dominador Maputol, for their hands-on involvement, including a personal visit to the site for validation. Additionally, the collaboration with the Provincial Fishery Office, who contributed valuable inputs and manpower, has been essential to the project's success.
This seaweed nursery farming will provide a sustainable and promising livelihood opportunity for our fisherfolk, both individual and organized into associations. It aims to support and empower them in engaging in seaweed farming, ensuring long-term benefits for the community. Together, we are cultivating a future where our fisherfolk thrive, and our local economy flourishes.
