Mangroves for Mankind: Mangrove Planting Activity
The event, entitled Mangroves for Mankind will be held within the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, the largest protected area (PA) in the country. Located between the islands of Negros and Cebu, Tañon Strait serves as an important migration route of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals. It is also one of the country’s top 10 major fishing grounds and leading exporter of fishery products. With its vast marine wealth, it was proclaimed a protected seascape under Proclamation 1234 in 1998.
