Abstract

It reflects the Philippine government that it’s fishing laws and policies provide mainly for the use of fishing and aquatic resources and not primarily for the rights of fisherfolk. The provisions in PD 704, the Fisheries Decree of 1975, that directly affect fisherfolk are prohibitory, and other policies constrict access to traditional fishing grounds. There are basically six reasons why fisherfolk perceive PD 704 as contrary to their interests.
