Guimaras Island Hopping - Part 3

SEAFDEC Igang Marine Station was our first stop on our island hopping tour. It's about 30 minute boat ride from Raymen Beach Resort.



It has cluster of fish cages interconnected by floating wooden bridges. The facility has breeding cages for grouper, pompano, milkfish, seabass, snapper to support the fishermen.
grouper, seabass, snapper, and pompano to cater to the needs of fish farmers. - See more at: http://www.seafdec.org.ph/our-organization/stations-facilities/igang-marine-station/#sthash.kMPaV1sL.dpufb
 
A staff conducted a short lecture on how the fishes are bred and so forth.




We spent around 20 minutes in this facility and paid P25 entrance fee. Am not a fan of big fishes though it's good to know that such facility exists to support the local fishermen.

If you're more of a beach person I recommend not to go to Seafdec anymore. Tell the tour operator at the resort reception that you want to skip Seafdec and go to other islands instead.
