Excerpt
Fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya), together with several other local environmental organizations, has been recognized by England-based Lewis Pugh Foundation as among the global “champions” in protecting the marine ecosystem. The international foundation has specifically cited Pamalakaya and several environmental organizations in the Philippines under the umbrella alliance People’s Network for the Integrity of Coastal Habitats and Ecosystems (People’s NICHE) as “coral champions” for “working hard to protect, promote, record, celebrate, and propagate one of the world’s most diverse oceans” – in reference to Manila Bay.
