The program aims to highlight the importance of conservation, protection, and sustainable management of the Philippines’ coastal and marine resources.
The PCSD is the primary implementing body for all Month of the Ocean activities for Palawan
This year’s theme, “Para sa Tao: Protected Areas for a Protected Future,” aims to highlight the importance of the PCSD partnering with local government units (LGUs) to create more marine protected areas (MPAs) in Palawan.
“This year’s theme is particularly important because the PCSD wants to highlight the importance of helping Palawan LGUs in the creation of their respective MPAs. Gusto namin na i-highlight ang creation of MPAs as crucial to protecting our marine resources as well as food security ng mga tao,” PCSD spokesperson Jovic Fabello said.
