The Partnership Agreement, signed by the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Danish Fishing Technology Cluster, marks a new phase in bilateral cooperation as the two countries celebrate 80 years of diplomatic relations.
The initiative builds on a 2019 memorandum of understanding between BFAR and the Danish Fishing Technology Cluster, supported by the Danish Embassy in Manila. After years of technical consultations, both sides are now moving forward with the testing and evaluation of Danish pelagic midwater trawl systems and related fisheries technologies in Philippine waters. ### (Photos by Darrel Gultia, DA-OSEC Comms)
