A fisherfolk group in Cavite is pushing for the adoption of a unified fisheries ordinance that would remove municipal boundaries restricting the movement of small-scale fishermen within the province.
The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya)–Cavite said current zoning provisions under Republic Act 10654, or the Amended Fisheries Code, unfairly limit municipal fishers to fishing only within their respective towns, even if their boats are properly registered and licensed in Cavite.
