This week in the CFCA Notes from the Field video series Philippines project director Trisha Pitts shares stories about how the rise in fuel prices impacts the fishing industry and CFCA fathers who have small fishing businesses in the Philippines.

From Trisha: “Small, local fishermen in the Philippines have had an increasingly difficult time making a living by fishing. The latest hit has come from the rise in fuel prices. Because they have had to go farther and farther away from home to fish, fuel has become their largest single expense. Some say that fuel costs are 70% and more of their expenses.”
