DENR-7 files charges against boat owner, crew for killing thresher sharks

CEBU CITY, Sept. 22 (PNA) -- The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) 7 has filed complaints against the owner of a fishing boat, its captain and 12 crew members after killing 19 thresher sharks within the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, particularly in Hagnaya, San Remegio town in northern Cebu.

In a statement, DENR-Central Visayas spokesperson Eddie Llamedo said the boat owner and crew of RB Sweet Angel will be charged for violating Republic Act 7586, or the National Integrated Protected Areas Systems (Nipas) Act, and Republic Act 9147, or the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act of 1992.

DENR and provincial anti-illegal fishing task force intercepted 19 thresher sharks last September 21 and filed two cases against fishing boat operator and its 12 fishing boat crew in Negros Occidental.

The fishing boat and its equipment were withheld in Cadiz City police.

Tañon Strait lies between the islands of Negros and Cebu in the Philippines.

The strait, which is about 161 kilometers long, connects the Visayan Sea in the north to the Bohol Sea in the south.

Its width varies from five to 27 kilometers, with the narrowest point in the south.

In the north the strait is closed off by the Don Islands, the largest of which is Bantayan.

The cities of Bais, Negros Oriental and Toledo, Cebu have deepwater port facilities.

The Tañon Strait is known for whale and dolphin‑watching, with tour boats operating from Bais City. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
