The barrier, according to PCG, posed a hazard to navigation, a clear violation of international law. It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk in Bajo De Masinloc, which is an integral part of the Philippine national territory. The 2016 Arbitral Award has affirmed that Bajo De Masinloc is the traditional fishing ground of Filipino fishermen.
