The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (PCAARRD) and Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) will conduct a two-year research on mangroves’ potential to mitigate climate change. SLSU President Jude A. Duarte and Project Leader Ian A. Navarrete recently signed the memorandum of agreement of the project “Mangrove-Sediment-Microorganism Carbon Dynamics to Enhanced CO2 Sequestration Capacity of Mangrove Forests” with DOST-PCAARRD Executive Director Reynaldo V. Ebora at the DOST PCAARRD office in Los Baños, Laguna.
