IVISAN, Capiz – Three individuals were arrested Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 3, after they were caught allegedly engaging in illegal fishing using a method known as “salom” without the necessary permits and documents in the waters off Barangay Basiao, Ivisan, Capiz.
Police identified the suspects as alias “Ferlly,” 41, the boat captain, and his two crew members, alias “Reygan,” 37, and alias “Marvin,” 46, all residents of Barangay Libas, Roxas City.
Authorities confiscated one fishing boat, two diesel engines with a combined estimated value of PHP 27,500, and a complete set of fishing nets worth PHP 3,000.
The suspects and confiscated items were placed under the custody of the Ivisan Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) for proper disposition and the filing of appropriate charges for violating Municipal Ordinance No. 03, Series of 2012, or the Municipal Fisheries Code of 2012.
The ordinance regulates fishing activities within Ivisan’s municipal waters and requires fishers to secure the necessary permits before conducting fishing operations.
