More fish juveniles released on Iloilo River

A TOTAL of 730 Lapu-lapu juveniles were released to boost biodiversity of Iloilo River.

Mayor Jerry Treñas thanked More Electric and Power Corp. president Roel Castro for dispersing hundreds of fishes to the waterway at the heart of the city last February 13.

Castro said bringing more lives to the river means that the initiatives of the City Government in cleaning, instilling discipline in people, and regulating environment-friendly activities are very much alive.

More Power also donated 23 life jackets to City hall personnel who patrol against illegal fishers using nets.

Only hook and line fishing is allowed as more anglers are attracted to the trade following catches of several species of giant fishes lately.

More staff also planted 200 mangroves at riverbank along the stretch of Esplanade 7 in January.

More's corporate social responsibility initiatives are part of its celebration of two years in operations as new electricity distributor in the metropolis. (PR)
