[Summary] => Tests made by the University of the Philippines-Natural Sciences Research Institute (UP-NSRI) last March 1 show that the waters of and fish caught off Albay’s Rapu-Rapu Island and Sorsogon are safe.
The UP study reinforces the five previous studies of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) that the mercury contamination of Sorsogon fish and waters near Rapu-Rapu as alleged by anti-mining groups never existed.
The allegation scared people from buying fish, resulting in a drastic drop in the income of 5,000 Sorsogon fishermen.
