FISH CEMETERY
I HEARD ABOUT PET
CEMETERY BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT FISH CEMETERY FOUND IN THE
1,300 SQUARE METER GRAVE SITE INSIDE THE BUREAU OF FISHRIES AND AQUATIC
RESOURCES (BFAR) IN DAGUPAN CITY PHILIPPINES.
THE SAID FISH CEMETERY
IS 12 YEARS OLD NOW BUT AS I SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I KNOW ABOUT IT.
ACCORDING TO WESTLY ROSARIO CHIEF OF THE AGENCY THE FISH CEMETERY BECOME THE
FIELD SCHOOL ALL YEAR ROUND EVEN TO CURIOUS.
WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT IT?
THE GOOD ABOUT IT IS THAT IT HELPS CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT PROTECTING SEA
CREATURES ESPECIALLY THE ENDANGERED ONE.
THE FISHERMEN AND THE
RESIDENTS OF THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES SEE THE IMPORTANCE AND THE NEED TO CARE
FOR THE STRANDED SEA CREATURES.
NOW ACCORDING TO BFAR,
EVERYTIME THERE ARE GIANT FISH SPECIES SEEN IN THE LINGAYEN GULF OR OTHERS
AREAS THEY CALLED THE AGENCY FOR POSSIBLE RESCUE OR REQUEST TO BURY THE DEAD
CREATURES.
THEY ALSO DESERVED A
VISIT, A FLOWER AND A CANDLE PERHAPS, WHEN PEOPLE REMEMBER THEIR LOVED ONES
DURING ALL SOUL’S DAY, ROSARIO SAID.
THE CEMETERY NOW HAS A
GAZEBO WHERE PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE OCCUPANTS ARE POSTED FOR
VISITORS TO READ.
SURELY IF TIME PERMITS
AND MY RESOURCES ALLOWS I WILL VISIT THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.
