Inpartnershipwith Germanphilanthropic organization, Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V. (Help-e.V.) , we will be training fishermen in Guiuan, Eastern Samar on how to undertake mariculture, particularly production of monoline seaweed and bangus (milk fish). Not limiting the assistance to the men, this skills training project will also build and strengthen the capacity of their wives to undertake trainings in fish processing projects such as processing and bottling of smoked fish, sardines and seaweed processing, and packaging of dried fish. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) located in Tacloban is being tapped to provide the necessary technicalskillstrainingintheconstruction, operation and maintenance of fish cages and other structures, as well as the in the growing and rearing of fish and other marine species. Both fishermen and housewives will be organized into fishermen’s and women’s organization that is envisioned to decide for themselves specifically and methodically what and when to produce thereby ensuring that oversupply or overabundance of harvest or produce does not occur. Both organizations, for sustainability, will be duly registered and have a legal entity where they can readily access credit facilities and other financial opportunities.
