SOUTH COTABATO – The Inland Resources Management Section (IRMS) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform conducted training to capacitate fisheries personnel on inland water resource management on October 22-25.
This activity aims to capacitate the participants on the importance of conserving inland resources. Provide awareness on the importance of targeted management areas inland and conduct planning workshops for inland resource management in the region.
