No DP 1999-01, Discussion Papers from Philippine Institute for Development Studies

Abstract: The paper analyzes the Philippine Fisheries Code in relation to the objective of sustainable development in the fisheries sector. The paper finds that some of the provisions in the Code promote sustainable development while a few other provisions are contentuous. It argues that the good provisions be implemented forcefully and immediately by the pertinent offices while the bad provisions be further studied and amended in time, if need be.
