Hi, I'm currently writing an in-depth article on the human and environmental cost of tuna overfishing in the southern Philippines, particularly in Gen San. This will appear on Mongabay.com. Relatedly, I'd like to request the following: - Number of handline tuna fishermen repatriated from Indonesia in the last 5 to 10 years - Number of handline tuna fishermen repatriated from Indonesia during the pandemic period (2020 up to present) - Other help provided by the DFA while the fishermen were in Indonesia's detention facilities Thanks!
