Pinalakas na Ugnayan ng Maliliit na Mangingisda sa Luzon, Mindanao at Visayas (PUMALU-MV)
Since the 1980s, PRRM has been organizing small fishers as a key factor in the protection and sustainable development of Philippine fisheries. Its efforts have resulted in the formation of PUMALU-MV, a national fishers association with over 7,000 active members in Manila Bay, Tayabas Bay, Lagonoy Gulf, Bohol Sea, Guimaras Strait and Bacuit Bay. PUMALU-MV leads in the implementation of community-based coastal resources management (CB-CRM), a proven approach to the rehabilitation of degraded municipal fishing areas. It is also in the forefront of advocacy for reforms that promote sustainable fishing. |
