Fishery laws create a structured system to regulate fishing activities... Show more
Fishery laws in the Philippines exist to protect marine ecosystems while ensuring sustainable fishing practices. These regulations control how, when, and where fishing can occur to prevent overfishing and habitat destruction.
These laws are particularly important because the Philippines, as an archipelago, depends heavily on its marine resources for food security and economic livelihood.
The Philippine legal system organizes fishery laws in a clear hierarchy, with each level having specific authority:
💡 Local ordinances can add detail to national laws but cannot contradict them - this ensures consistency in fishery management across the country.
The Constitution establishes fundamental principles for fishery management through several key sections:
Article I defines the national territory, including all waters, seabed, and insular shelves within the Philippine archipelago.
Article II (Sections 15 and 16) guarantees citizens' rights to health and a balanced ecology, which directly impacts how fishing resources must be managed.
These constitutional provisions create the foundation for all other fishery laws by establishing state ownership of resources and the responsibility to protect them.
Article XII, Section 2 establishes crucial principles:
The State owns all natural resources including fisheries, and maintains full control over their development and use. While the government can partner with Filipino citizens or corporations for resource development, these agreements cannot exceed 25 years (renewable for another 25).
The State must protect marine wealth in archipelagic waters, territorial sea, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for exclusive use by Filipino citizens.
Congress may permit small-scale utilization by Filipino citizens and cooperative fish farming, with priority given to subsistence fishermen in local waters.
Article XIII, Section 7 specifically protects subsistence fishermen:
The State must protect the rights of local subsistence fishermen to have preferential use of community marine and fishing resources, both inland and offshore.
This section also ensures fishworkers receive a just share from their labor in utilizing marine and fishing resources.
This constitutional protection recognizes the vulnerability of small-scale fishing communities and their dependence on local waters for survival.
National laws are statutes enacted by the Philippine Congress that create the framework for fishery management throughout the country.
These laws can also come through Executive legislative powers, as seen with Presidential Decree 705.
National laws provide detailed regulations that implement the constitutional principles regarding fisheries, establishing specific rules, penalties, and management systems.
💡 While the Constitution sets broad principles, national laws create the practical rules that fishery officers and citizens must follow day-to-day.
The Philippines has numerous laws regulating fisheries and marine resources:
RA 8550 (1998) - The Philippine Fisheries Code is the primary law governing fishing activities.
RA 9275 (2004) - The Philippine Clean Water Act protects water quality affecting fish habitats.
RA 9147 (2001) - The Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act covers marine wildlife.
Other important laws include RA 8435 (Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act), RA 7586 (National Integrated Protected Areas Systems Act), and RA 7160 (Local Government Code) which gives local authorities management responsibilities.
Several laws address environmental protection related to fisheries:
RA 7161 (1991) prohibits cutting of all mangrove species, protecting critical fish nursery habitats.
RA 7160 (1991) - The Local Government Code grants rights and responsibilities to local governments for coastal management.
PD 1586 (1978) established the Environmental Impact Statement system, requiring assessment of projects that might affect fisheries.
These laws recognize that fisheries cannot be managed in isolation - they require protection of the broader coastal environment.
More specialized laws address specific aspects of coastal development and environmental protection:
PD 1084 (1977) created the Public Estates Authority for coordinating reclamation projects that impact coastal areas.
PD 1198 (1977) requires restoration of areas affected by natural resource exploitation or infrastructure projects.
PD 1160 (1977) gives Barangay Captains authority to enforce pollution and environmental control laws.
PD 1152 (1977) - The Philippine Environmental Code provides comprehensive environmental protection guidelines that benefit fisheries.
Several laws specifically address water management and pollution that affects fisheries:
PD 1067 (1976) - The Water Code of the Philippines governs water rights and usage.
PD 979 (1976) - The Marine Pollution Decree directly protects marine waters from pollution.
PD 704 (1975) - "Fisheries Decree of 1975" revised and consolidated all fishing and fishery laws at that time.
These laws recognize that clean water is essential for healthy fish populations and sustainable fisheries.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️
