FYI : The right agency that has jurisdiction over dugongs or sea cow, marine turtles or pawikan and mangroves or katunggan is the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, that is, DENR. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of the Department of Agriculture is in-charge with corals, seagrasses, seaweeds and other fishery/marine resources. So, in the future, if there are any concerns related to dugong, pawikan and mangroves, please contact or coordinate with the right and proper agency. It has been my observation kase like in the news and other reporting of incidents, pawikan strandings, dugong killings, and mangrove problems are taken over by BFAR. Please dont get me wrong.. what I am only trying to impart is to inform and possibly remind the public which agency should handle such matters.
