The Iloilo Provincial Government has turned over P5 million in financial assistance to the Municipality of Banate for the establishment of a Blue Swimming Crab hatchery.
Mayor Peter Paul Gonzales accompanied by municipal officials received the check from Assistant Provincial Administrator Juanito Acanto, Jr. during a turnover ceremony held today.
The funding will support the construction and initial establishment of the hatchery, which aims to strengthen local blue swimming crab production and improve livelihood opportunities for fisherfolk in the municipality.
The project is expected to support sustainable aquaculture practices and help stabilize crab supply in the local market.
