Blue Star, PACPI, BFAR Moving Crab Sustainability Forward

Last week, Blue Star was present as the Philippine Association of Crab Processors, Inc. (PACPI) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) released blue swimming crab juveniles into the waters surrounding Bagunbanwa Island in the Philippines. Bagunbanwa Island is the ideal habitat for these BFAR hatchery-produced blue swimming crab juveniles.

Blue Star was happy to participate in the country’s first ever public-private sector partnership addressing the sustainability of blue swimming crab. We hope that initiatives like this one will continue to be successful and extend to other parts of the country.

Check out these pics of the crablets being released into the wild.
