Tahong — 2024 2021

Philippine tahong (green mussel) between 2021 and 2024 has undergone a shift from traditional subsistence farming toward a high-tech "Blue Economy" model. While production volumes initially dipped due to environmental factors, the period was marked by the launch of the Philippine Shellfish Industry Roadmap 2021-2025

A severe bout of red tide had poisoned the bays early in the year. Then came the typhoons, relentless and angry, tearing apart the intricate bamboo rafts that held the mussel lines.
