                    [Summary] => Forty years ago, the fishers of Barangay Segapod, Maigo, Lanao del Norte could catch as much as 60 kilos a day by using simple fishhook or hand line fishing gear. Back then, a total of 42 species of fish could be found in the Pontoron Reefs. By the 1980s, many of these species vanished as a result of illegal and destructive fishing practices.


Now, the fish are returning to the waters of the Barangay Segapod. Thanks to the Fisheries Resource Management Project (FRMP), members of the community have become responsive to their role in fisheries and coastal resource management.
