The Sanguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan is set to investigate the alleged rampant sale of porcelain clams or China Clams and helmet shells in this resort island.
Provincial Board Member Russia Soviet Dela Cruz said these clams are being sold at Php500 each and above depending on their size.
"I was informed that since 2008, the BFAR has already made some confiscations at both Caticlan Airport and the Kalibo International Airport. Volumes of confiscated shells are now pending at the BFAR-Kalibo office," said Dela Cruz.
The BFAR has been prohibiting the sale and keeping of both the China clams and the helmet shells since these are considered endangered.
"Tourists might be turned off with our tourism industry since they are buying these items in Boracay not knowing that it is illegal and then the government will just confiscate them at the airport," said Dela Cruz.
