Fish Tales

Fishing is a major industry in the Municipality of Taytay. Although the inconsistencies in the implementation of laws to regulate fishing has caused a decrease in catch volume due to unabated illegal fishing activities, there still is enough fish available, but only when sea conditions are good, for the locals to cover their protein needs and expenses. One of the main objectives of the municipal government is to promote tourism to help create better business and employment opportunities for its people. Considering that Taytay has both the eastern and western sea sides and the Malampaya sound within its municipal boundaries, the introduction of sport/recreational fishing to prospective visitors would certainly help the municipality to become one of the popular game fishing destinations in the Palawan and offer a better and brighter future for many of its fisherfolk and tourism stakeholders
