In August, Bluer Seas marked a milestone in advancing Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) by introducing this important concept to seafood markets for the first time.

Bluer Seas facilitated an online learning session, bringing together 20+ participants from eight key market players Tindagat, Meliomar, MINDANAW Seafood, Fishta Seafood, Agro-DigitalPH, JC Seafoods, Casa De Don Emilio, and Balar Hotel & Spa Boac, to explore practical ways to integrate GEDSI into seafood procurement, processing, and business operations.

Grounded on RSS Standard and ValueSeasโ€™ commitment to equitable and inclusive seafood value chains, participants reflected on existing perceptions, barriers, and opportunities for fostering more inclusive workplaces and value chains. The session also sparked interest in translating awareness into action through responsible sourcing policies and business practices.

This marks an important step toward bridging responsible seafood markets with greater equity, dignity, and inclusion for all. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŠ

When we say Clarias is a cleaner choice, it all starts with how our fish are raised.

Why does this matter? Because water quality and feeding practices play an important role in freshwater fish production. Poorly managed organic waste and certain microorganisms in culture water can contribute to undesirable earthy or muddy off-flavors.

Through proper feeding, regular tank maintenance, and water-quality management, our partner farmers work to minimize these risks while producing quality, clean-tasting hito.

And beyond the fish itself, every harvest supports aquaculture livelihoods in Southern Philippines, including communities building new opportunities through responsible fish farming.

Cleaner-tasting hito starts with better farming practices. ๐Ÿ’™

MINDANAW Seafood brought together team members from different parts of the country for our second biannual Skills Development Training, taking time to learn, reconnect, and strengthen how we serve our partners, clients, and communities.

Day 1 focused on building stronger foundations for our growing company. Bluer Seas Philippines Inc facilitated the Responsible Seafood Sourcing (RSS) Policy Development session, supporting our pledge to apply the Responsible Seafood Sourcing tool and turn our commitment into clear sourcing policies. Jim Bulan, Assistant Professor from UP Diliman, led our Job Description Development session. As our company grows, clearly defined roles and responsibilities help strengthen accountability, improve coordination, and align each team memberโ€™s work with our shared goals.

Day 2 combined practical skills with lessons on creating a supportive workplace. Bryan Aprecio, MS Excel Trainer and Freelancer, facilitated Basic and Advanced Microsoft Excel training to help our team manage data and improve reporting. Jennifer Fortuno, Labor and Employment Officer III from DOLE-MUNTAPARLAS, discussed Safe Spaces and our shared responsibility to uphold dignity and respect at work. Kathe Lyn Tamisin, University Extension Specialist II from UPLB Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd, led Positive Workplace Communication, encouraging better listening, thoughtful conversations, and stronger collaboration.

Thank you to our resource speakers and team members for sharing their time, knowledge, and experiences. As MINDANAW Seafood grows, we continue investing in the people who carry our purpose forward, bringing these lessons into how we source, serve, and support one another. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉต

When we say lapu-lapu, are we actually talking about just one kind of fish?

In Philippine seafood market, lapu-lapu is not a single species. It is a broad local or market name for many fishes commonly known as groupers, particularly those belonging to the family Epinephelidae. These include species across several genera such as ๐˜Œ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ด, ๐˜Š๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ด, ๐˜—๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ด, ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ข, ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜บ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ข, and ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด.

This explains why lapu-lapu in our markets can look surprisingly different from one another. Depending on the species, they may be red, orange, brown, gray, spotted, barred, or mottled, and can vary greatly in size.

Some grouper species recorded or commercially encountered in the Philippines include:

Most groupers are reef-associated predators with large mouths and strong jaws, feeding mainly on fish and crustaceans. They are commonly associated with coral reefs and rocky habitats, although some species also use coastal and brackish environments during parts of their life cycle.

Lapu-lapu is also an important aquaculture fish in the Philippines, with several species cultured in ponds and marine cages. One commonly cultured species is the orange-spotted grouper, ๐˜Œ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด.

So the next time you see lapu-lapu on a menu or at the market, remember: the name represents a diverse group of fishes, each with its own appearance, habitat, size, and biology.

18/09/2026

For generations, our small-scale fisherfolk have depended on the sea not only for their livelihood, but for their hopes for a better life.

Yet today, many of them continue to face battles that threaten the very waters they depend on. The fight for our 15-kilometer municipal waters. Challenges to vessel monitoring. Threats to mangroves and critical coastal habitats. Rising fuel costs. Declining catches. Illegal fishing. And the growing impacts of climate change.

Behind every headline, every policy, and every court decision are real people living with the consequences.

Fisherfolk who simply want to earn a decent living.
Parents who want to provide for their families.
Communities hoping the sea will still provide for the next generation.

Their dreams are simple. But protecting their right to dream takes all of us.

May we continue to stand with the fisherfolk organizations, coastal communities, advocates, NGOs, policymakers, and Filipinos fighting to protect their rights and the waters that sustain them.

Because they deserve more than just the chance to survive.

They deserve the chance to dream.
