Balaoan, La Union

OTOP: Sea Urchin

Description:

            Sea urchin may just be a local delicacy and an exotic fare for food lovers but to the Balaoan fisher folks along its coastal waters here, this edible marine resource now housed in fish cages along the coastal areas of Barangays Paraoir and Almeida are now a veritable treasure trove more precious than gold because its growing commercial production now assures regular added income for the residents here who rely mainly on limited marine catches and seasonal farm produce for their existence
