BFAR Supports Solar Salt Production Initiative in Daram Island
What happened
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region VIII supported the Development of the Salt Industry Project (DSIP) in Daram Island. This initiative involved providing solar salt production kits, including solar panels, generators, submersible pumps, and HDPE drums, to two beneficiary groups: the Daram Association of Fish and Squid Processors and the Brgy. Ubo Dried Fish Vendors Association. The groups received comprehensive training on how to use the technology to transform seawater into salt through a solar evaporation process.
