The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) conducted seaborne patrol to assist local fishermen in checking their fish cages at the Taal Lake, amid the Volcano’s magmatic unrest on Saturday, July 3.

On Friday, July 2, Talisay Mayor Gerry Natanauan signed Executive Order No. 16 allowing fish cage owners to feed their fishes from 5 a.m. until 2 p.m. in order to “protect the aquaculture industry in the municipality.”
The Coast Guard reminded the fishermen to refrain from going to Taal Lake during nighttime after short phreatomagmatic bursts of Taal Volcano on Thursday, July 1.
“Local fishermen are discouraged to do such activity from 2 p.m. onwards, especially during nighttime, for their safety and security,” the PCG said.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Sunday, July 4, continued to detect volcanic earthquakes and high sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from Taal Volcano.
The agency asked residents around Taal Lake to “calmly” prepare for possible evacuation should Taal Volcano’s unrest intensifies.
