RE: DISCOVER THE PHILIPPINES: The fishing file ...!, by @marc-allaria (translated from French)

If the use of dynamite has been banned but how come no enforcement agencies check their excesses. I could imagine the shock you got when you saw the detonation... Haven't heard of hookah fishing before, learning of it here on your post. The fishermen are innovative in nature, they found an alternative to get a diver fins. You had quiet an experience.
In some part of Africa where chemicals were used for fishing, it was polluting the water and made it unsafe for drinking cos the only channel of water available for use is still thesame river. After some times, the process of using chemicals to fish disappeared and went back to the traditional old ways.
It will only take time, the dynamite fishing practice will disappear
