Binmaley

Binmaley is a municipality of 89,000 people (2020). Binmaley is the seafood capital of Pangasinan.

Understand

The town is famous for its bangus (milkfish) aqua-culture, because of its many fishponds (pokok in the Pangasinan language). However, because of constant siltation from mine tailings upstream from Agno River (due to mine operations in neighboring Benguet Province), and the overuse of artificial fish feeds, the bangus industry has suffered from fishkill, fewer viable fishponds and lower harvests. As a result, many formerly productive fishponds have been converted into large commercial and residential lots. This phenomenon is beginning to seriously threaten the unique Binmaley fishpond industry.
