Mariculture park on the drawing board
Excerpt
SAEP agreed to spearhead the move during its 13th annual meeting held recently at the Central Philippines University (CPU) in Iloilo City. Along this line, a multi-disciplinary task force will be created to prepare a feasibility study of the project and, once the costs are estimated, to find funding sources. Toward this end, Dr. Rolando Platon, chief of the Tigbauan, Iloilo-based Southeast Asian Fisheries Development center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD) and SAEP immediate past president, pledged the full technical support of his institute.
