The Fishery Zoning and Management Plan (ZOMAP) for Laguna de
Bay was developed in 1983. It was designed to rationalize the
management and regulate the utilization of the lake’s fishery
resources as well as to resolve equity problems among
large-scale fishpen operators and small-scale fishermen
dependent upon open water catch.
Revised ZOMAP , an improvement on the initial ZOMAP was approved
by the LLDA Board of Directors on October 1995 as a fundamental
component of the Master Plan.
In 1999, the fishpen belt as laid out in 1996 revised ZOMAP was
further modified and duly approved per LLDA Board Resolution No.
95, s. 1999. Its implementation was then placed under LLDA Lake
Management Division.
Areas were allotted for fishpens, fishcages, fish sanctuaries
and open fishing. Navigational lanes and barangay access lanes
were also identified to facilitate the movement of people, goods
and services within the lake. |
